Next Week's Show ~ Steve and the Dobyns' Girls and Resident Truth

  1032b122-f958-4330-906f-93ba6d75bebb_speak_up_logo_finalChristian Devotions SPEAK UP! July 15 6:00 p.m. EST Christian Bands Steve and The Dobyns' Girls & Resident Truth Join us this week on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP!when Scott shares a taped show from the Rock the Lake LIVE concert with two bands. photo (2)Steve Dobyns started playing the guitar fifteen years ago. His daughters were young and quickly latched on to the love of music they gleaned from their dad. Not only have the girls learned to love music, they both excelled in the Michigan Home School Music Association. Today Rachel is primarily a flautist and pianist, while Sister Anna focuses on percussion. Together, they make a great trio that leads worship in churches, camps, and concerts. Steve is the minister at the McBride Church of Christ where he and his wife Amy bless the small town and the camp (Rock Lake Christian Assembly) they call home. Resident Truth was formed in 2011 to present the hope that is found in Jesus Christ through their music. Their approach is to incorporate fresh, yet classic-original Christian music with a 1970s southern rock sound. The band members currently consist of: John Quigley, singer-songwriter-guitarist; Mike Robertson, bass guitarist: Jim Keating, keyboard/vocals; Nolan McCausey, keyboard/vocals; Ben Grulke, drums; and Sue Patrick, vocals. Their hope is to reach those outside mainstream Christian music with the goal of spreading the message of Christ's Love while still recognizing the frailty of the human condition.RT If you know someone who would be a great guest on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! contact Scott@christiandevotions.us.
