“This strikes me as something of a Delta Blues Taize service … it captures the higher frequency vibrations in the Delta ether where the prayers of the church triumphant mingle with the blues lamentations of the church militant. That’s the formula for outrageous hope and the peace that passes all understanding. Blessings on you and your work, brother.”

Dr. Barry Bryant, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary

BIBLE

The Scripture Way of Salvation – In South Louisiana Song
A uniquely sacred service that is an invitation to holistically connect with States of Grace, through the power of the Holy Spirit. All are welcomed into the House of Salvation by experientially walking up to the Porch of Prevenient Grace / entering the Doorway of Justifying Grace / abiding within the Upper Room of Sanctifying Grace. These three experiences of “the power of the Holy Ghost enable us to believe, and love and serve God.”

BLUES

An authentically original Gulf Coast travelogue of soulful songs and the true stories they tell as we musically cruise across Hwy 90 from the Heart of Acadiana – Eastward toward NOLA and Westward toward the Sabine Side…and all ports in between.

“This project, I believe, is a very significant way of strengthening and expressing even more directly in your gifted ministry the strong and enlivening Wesleyan tradition in which we are bathed – all for the sake of personal and communal healing in the broken world we live in, which God loves so much. Shalom in Christ. I very much understand and appreciate your evocative and inspiring presentation style. You are deeply/broadly grounded while Spirit-intuitively led. You are a spiritual friend,
a unique musical-mystical theologian. Alleluia!”

Elise S. Eslinger, Upper Room Worship Books

Between the Bible and the Blues© is also offered as an original Secular/Sacred Song Concert.
