other half that's now become one. Y'all would think this is funny talking about, you know, the marriage is troubled, whatever, you know, Phil says. So we moved into a house and I'm not going to tell our address, but we moved into a house. And so right when we got married, we bought a house.
And so I was like, kind of wondering if there was any verse that could be like prophetic over our home or whatever. And so the numbers are 1913. And so I was like, I wonder if there's any verse, you know, 1913. So the first one I looked up was Proverbs 1913. Well, Proverbs 1913 is, a quarrelsome wife is like a leaky roof. Wow. Straight up, first verse. Yeah, you don't want that.
And so now, you know, when you go to weddings and they'll have the Bible open and they'll have like highlight your favorite verse and write your name. If I know the couple well enough, I'll go highlight Proverbs 19 and 13 and just sign my name with a heart.
Babe? Yeah. Oh, I called her immediately. No, actually, I think I texted her and I go, I go, babe, like, you know, just found this verse. I feel like it's prophetic over our home and just put Proverbs 19, 13, made her go look it up, you know, made her do the work to get the laugh, but she thought it was funny. That's funny.
Yeah, man. I mean, from the beginning, I've always felt like I had a dual calling on my life of ministry and country music. I grew up in Nashville, started writing songs at six years old. A lot of that early stuff was worship songs, contemporary Christian songs. I always say that I was too scared to write love songs for girls, so I just wrote love songs for Jesus.
And that was kind of how I started and thought that that was going to be what the Lord had for my life. And then as I grew up, 13, high school, really fell in love with country music and I started to write country songs and then, you know, I started, I signed my first deal at 16, record deal at 18.
And so it was pretty young as I started, but I always felt this kind of calling on my heart towards ministry, towards Jesus. I would say if I wasn't, you know, a country artist, I'd probably be a pastor or something of the sort. And so I've spent the last four years
growing up a lot and trying to figure out how do you marriage the two, you know, to step into a secular industry where, you know, and country music is specific industry that Jesus is allowed in. Yeah.
But it's the same... To say the name Jesus on stage can oftentimes be the same thing as saying the name Trump, where people just celebrate because it's a part of culture, if that makes any sense at a festival or whatever.
Exactly. You know, and so... but actually like creating not just you know country music is faith family sports hunting right but how do you actually bring revival into country music has been a big part of my heart and i don't i don't have all the answers to that but i do know the lord's called me into that and i've been trying to slowly figure out or he's been unveiling
some of those things and and um we've definitely just had some massive breakthrough i mean what you're talking about zach um we just did a tour i did a co-headlining tour with with my best friend in the music industry named dylan marlow another country artist at the same level and our friendship is really centered around how do we do this genre that is of the world um but how do we steward what the lord gives us
In the same way, you know, you guys had this TV show, but the TV show, you were using the TV show as a platform to speak the name of Jesus, right? How do we do that in country music? And so as we stepped onto this tour, we had had a lot of conversations before him about And we said, hey, it doesn't matter how many people show up. It doesn't matter how many tickets we sell.
It doesn't matter if they came here for me or for you. How do we unite together and speak the name of Jesus? Because there's such a boldness with two of us up there doing that.
And so we had this song. I mean, all of it was kind of God-ordained, but so we had this song that we were getting ready to put out together called Country in the Clouds, and it's kind of this, you know, kind of a gospel country song about hoping, you know, heaven looks like the sticks sort of idea. Yeah.
And so I called him one day, and I was messing around in my living room playing the song, and it led perfectly into like mashups of some worship songs. So I sent him a voice memo. I go, hey, what do you think about doing this? And he loved it. And so we were going to do this one, Brandon Lake Gratitude. We're going to do this song and then go into the chorus of Gratitude, switch it up.
I do half, he does half. Well, the first night of the tour, I sang the wrong song. So I ended up singing Great Are You Lord instead of Gratitude. David Leonard. Yeah, exactly. And so I start singing this David Leonard song and I get to the second line. I'm like, I'm singing the completely wrong song. So I just finished the chorus. I'm just like, let me just get through the chorus.
And then I look over to Dylan on stage and I just go, hey, sing Gratitude now. So then he does the whole chorus of Gratitude. When I tell you that in the middle of this bar where everyone is drinking Tall Boys and trying to, you know, flirt with a girl, the atmosphere shifted like that.
And the presence fell down. I mean, I almost got emotional every night. And there was such a weight in the room that it brought. And so we did it every night. And every night, the Lord came. I've had more comments after the show about how much it impacted people. than anything we've ever done.
And it was such a eyeopening thing for me and for Dylan to go, man, this is, this is how you represent Christ in these atmospheres that no one's coming there, you know, to encounter Jesus, but man, we've got a platform. We're on the stage. We got 1200 people looking at us.
And if we could just take a moment to go, hey, man, the only reason we're here, the only reason we've been given this platform, there's a C.S. Lewis quote I love that is like, I think is a mere Christianity where he says somewhere, a man can't take credit for his giftings and talents any more than a man can take credit for having blue eyes. right?
