We often wonder about the reach a song or act can have and how God uses it for His Kingdom. What leads to those large movements where the Lord enters the lives of thousands?
We are so blessed to have Christian Music Icon Bob Farrell as today's guest on The Music for the Soul Podcast. Bob shares his experience co-founding Farrell and Farrell during the height of The Jesus Movement, what lead to the movement creating such a lasting impact for the Kingdom of God, and how his music played into the sounds of the time while creating deep, meaningful lyrics that led people to Christ.
Bob also talks about traveling the world ministering to others, including traveling to Moscow just a year before the Berlin Wall fell. He explains the many names he has worked with in his over 40 year career, and what he believes is so important for Christian music in a day and age that can look more clouded than ever.
