An awesome thing happened this past weekend, Redding Transformation's 40 Days of Grace ended it's forty days of prayer with a festival in the downtown Redding Area. It had three different locations each with music, prayer tents, and various things like face painting, balloon making, and food.
We played on the Krista stage, which was great since we have a heart for kids who are in the Foster Care system or have been adopted - God knew just where to put us!
We had two debuts... First, our little 11 yr. old brother Isaac,
( tambourine/cowbell/keyboard player) made his debut in singing with Beth. Second, they sang their own rendition of "Hit The Road Jack." (check out the clip above on our new, "Video of the Week")
Yes, it is a secular song, however, we have prayed as a family and want to reach people through music - so we choose to play this song to illustrate what relationships are like without God in them. Kind of like a mini message...through song... we received a lot of positive feedback from this! We are excited and pray that God will use this part of our ministry as we cultivate it to reach more people! As the Apostle Paul says..."I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some" (1 Corinthians 9:22)
Isaac and Beth did a great job, and we keep saying that Isaac will soon be our new lead singer..ha ha!

Question..." Should secular songs be used in Christian ministry?"

we all know that our lord works in mysterious ways....he also works all situations for good and we know if our heart is pure he will honor and bless our work. Drawing a crowd is a benifit for god because we are commanded to be fishers of men and where men gather is an opportunity for witness may god bless and keep you
love always

Yea, well... I think Christian bands should only play Christian songs. Well because you are telling people it is ok to listen to bad things...
Hey guys great job with the song. Isaac you sing really good! Keep up the good work! As for singing non-Christian songs... I think what ever works in telling people about God... do it!
Yeah,but God uses all different things
to reach people..God's love is not limited to be expressed only through christian music...he uses all art forms to do so..secular and non-secular alike...
You guys areawesome...may the Lord continue to work through you guys...you bless me.
Lots of questions about who is singing... Beth sings the first part "Hit the Road Jack" Isaac (IT) sings
2nd part "what you say?"
