[00:00:14] Speaker A: And how are you doing?
[00:00:16] Speaker B: I'm doing well. I'm doing well. Just. I had taken some time off to take care of my mom. You know, a lot of people don't know how hard it is being a caregiver, but I'm a caregiver to my mom. I'm a worship pastor at church. So life has just been life, and as they say, yeah. But I'm just grateful to still be in a place to still do music and still get calls. So I'm still grateful to still do what I love the most, and that's music.
[00:00:39] Speaker A: Absolutely. And I understand all about being a caregiver, and I used to say taking care of both of my parents, that I get to do it because it is an honor. Kudos to you for that.
[00:00:51] Speaker B: Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that.
[00:00:53] Speaker A: Well, you're coming to the d, and I want to talk about that in just a few minutes. But you also have new music.
[00:01:01] Speaker B: Yes, we do. We did a virtual concert back in the pandemic, and we did the actual video. We released the video, as most people did, virtual video content. And so many people kept asking us for the audio of it. So I said, hey, let's just release the audio. So we didn't do a whole lot of marketing and promotion for it. And then, like, maybe a week or two ago, my label was telling me that it's, like, at 2 million strings. Wow. So I don't even. I don't even know how, but I was just like, you know, God does all things well. We just took a virtual concert, put it out, and it's just a. You know, the things that's happened in my career has just all been just. It just happens, you know what I mean? There's never a lot of thought behind it. So I'm grateful that God just always breathes on a lot of the things that we do.

[00:01:50] Speaker B: The song is called Jesus reigns the lead on it. Her name is Tia Iskia. She sings with myself and the Kirk Carr singers. She's an amazing vocalist. And it's a virtual concert. We did no overdubs, no anything. We just kind of just did it and put it out, and people are just kind of gravitating towards it. So I'm grateful for that, our God rains.
