Gloria Gaither

If you'd like to hear more stories about overcoming shame through grace, check out our interview with Lisa Harper.

Next time on the Jesus Calling podcast, we'll hear from gospel music legends Bill and Gloria Gaither who after years of creating their own music, have given their lives to celebrate the gifts of others through preserving legendary voices and mentoring young singers.

I'm grateful back in 62 that God looked at two school teachers in central Indiana and said, I think this is a good thing.

Because when it's that good, it has to be God.

Amen.

Gloria Gaither was with child.

And she told her husband she wasn't really sure.

She felt uneasy about bringing another child in the world.

But I wanted to start out with grieving with one person's voice and add and build as we go to show that the movement now is millions of people.

And one cool thing about the music video and the song, Benji Gaither, Bill and Gloria Gaither's son from the Southern Gospel genre, he's the one that sang with me.

And I just thought he played the perfect part both on video and vocally.

The Gaithers are incredible.

I must have been, I'm sure I was a teenager, maybe 17.

Bill and Gloria Gaither were sort of the headlining guests.

Oh, wow.

And afterwards I got a message from Gloria and she just said, don't talk so much, just sing.
