    John Mays - I Love To Tell the Story

    Some folks spend a lifetime making music. John Mays has spent his helping shape the music—and collecting some mighty good stories along the way. On this edition of I Love to Tell the Story, we sit down with a friend whose name you may not know—but whose work has almost certainly touched your life. If you’ve studied album credits over the past 45 years, you’ve probably seen his name. As a record company executive, he signed artists like Cindy Morgan, Nichole Nordeman, Point of Grace, and Lauren Daigle. But that’s only part of the story. John was also a trusted bass player in the studio, playing on some of Christian music’s biggest records. And as a songwriter, he helped write Sandi Patty’s “Love in Any Language”—a song that found its way into hearts around the world. Before all of that, there were miles on the road with the Speers and Andrus, Blackwood & Company. And if you think those years might have supplied a story or two, well… you’d be right. We start with the music, but along the way, we meet the man. And fair warning: the longer you listen, the funnier the stories get. Join us for a little laughter, a few unexpected turns, and a conversation with John Mays—a man with deep West Texas roots and a heart big enough to match. 🎥 To watch video of this episode and others, check out and subscribe to our YouTube channel @ https://www.youtube.com/@ILove2TelltheStory-xd9fg  For more stories like these, visit us at www.ILove2TelltheStory.com

    Dave Clark and Dusty Wells - I Love To Tell the Story

    We really do love to tell the story—and after three years of podcasting, this episode feels especially meaningful. More than two old friends taking a walk down memory lane, it’s a reflection on the passion that has fueled this podcast from the beginning: a love for the history of Christian music and a responsibility to help preserve and share it. Along the way, we’ve discovered that telling our own stories helps the next generation understand not just what mattered to us, but why it mattered. And maybe it will encourage you to share your own story with the people closest to you. Because you never know who’s listening—or what they may be walking through. Sometimes your story can give someone else the courage to keep going. Join us for the story behind the stories—and why we still love to tell them. 🎥 To watch video of this episode and others, check out and subscribe to our YouTube channel @ https://www.youtube.com/@ILove2TelltheStory-xd9fg  For more stories like these, visit us at www.ILove2TelltheStory.com

    Michael Blanton - I Love To Tell the Story

    If the music of Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Rich Mullins, or Kathy Troccoli has ever impacted your life — or if you were one of the more than 2 million readers who picked up Frank E. Peretti’s This Present Darkness — you won’t want to miss this conversation with Michael Blanton, a man who was right in the middle of these stories plus a whole lot more. As cofounder, along with Dan Harrell, of Reunion Records and Blanton/Harrell Management, Michael was one of the most influential creative forces in Christian music during the 1980s and ’90s — and he has the stories to prove it. This episode runs a little longer than most, but trust us: the behind-the-scenes stories — including some you won’t hear anywhere else — are more than worth it. So pull up a chair and join us for an episode you don’t want to miss. 🎥 To watch video of this episode and others, check out and subscribe to our YouTube channel @ https://www.youtube.com/@ILove2TelltheStory-xd9fg  For more stories like these, visit us at www.ILove2TelltheStory.com

    John Hammond - I Love To Tell the Story

    John Hammond is one of Nashville’s premier drummers—and trust us, the résumé (and the stories) prove it. With a career spanning nearly four decades, John has played behind some of the biggest names in Christian and country music. But this episode isn’t about drum fills or technique. It’s about the journey. It’s a conversation between friends as we peel back the pages on a life in music that’s still going strong. From Amy Grant and Russ Taff to The Cathedrals and Greater Vision… from Whitney Houston and 4HIM to Kathy Mattea and Phillips, Craig & Dean—John’s steady hands and unmistakable feel have left an indelible mark on countless recordings and stages. But beyond the accolades and credits, John Hammond is simply one of the most respected—and most likable—musicians in the business. And as you’ll hear, the stories behind the songs are just as compelling as the music itself. Pull up a chair and join us for stories you won’t hear anywhere else. 🎥 To watch video of this episode and others, check out and subscribe to our YouTube channel @ https://www.youtube.com/@ILove2TelltheStory-xd9fg  For more stories like these, visit us at www.ILove2TelltheStory.com
