SUMMARY:Jason Gray
DESCRIPTION:A Christian singer/songwriter\, Jason Gray bridges the gap between inward-thinking contemporary folk and hook-minded pop\, adding his own spiritual perspective to the mix. Gray emerged in the 2000s and gained wider recognition after signing to Centricity Music. He is a two-time ASCAP Performance Award winner and has scored two Top Ten Christian chart hits with “Good to Be Alive” off 2011’s A Way to See in the Dark and “With Every Act of Love” off 2014’s Love Will Have the Final Word. His fifth album\, 2016’s Where the Light Gets In\, peaked at number five on Billboard’s Christian Albums Chart. \nMoved by the straightforward honesty and devotional nature of his songs\, Centricity Music signed Gray in 2006; the label released the heartfelt All the Lovely Losers the following year. The live recording Acoustic Storytime and Everything Sad Is Coming Untrue followed in 2008 and 2009\, respectively. Gray’s singable soul-searching reached its largest audience with the release of 2011’s A Way to See in the Dark\, which landed on the Billboard Top Christian Albums and Heatseekers Albums charts. \nIn addition to his work as a musician\, Gray is a devoted advocate for youths facing hardships\, especially African orphans of AIDS\, through World Vision International’s Hope Initiative. The following year saw him release his first collection of holiday music\, the Cason Cooley-produced Christmas Stories: Repeat the Sounding Joy\, and in 2014 he issued a new studio album\, the chart-topping Love Will Have the Final Word. 2016’s Where the Light Gets In\, his fifth long-player\, debuted at number five on the Billboard Christian Albums chart\, and at 165 on the Billboard Top 200. Following an album recorded with his son Kipper Gray\, he returned in 2019 with Order\, the first of a trilogy of five-song EPs. \nPurchase Dinner Tickets Here

SUMMARY:Ernie Haase & Signature Sound
DESCRIPTION:For two decades\, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound have been sharing songs of hope around the world in four-part harmony. As Gospel music’s premier quartet\, Ernie Haase (tenor)\, Doug Anderson (lead)\, Dustin Doyle (lead) and Paul Harkey (bass) step up to their respective mics each night and perform with as much gusto as a burgeoning act. \nConsistently topping Southern Gospel radio charts\, the group has earned four GRAMMY® nods\, numerous Gold® and Platinum® DVDs and six GMA Dove Awards. From singing on the hallowed stages of the Grand Ole Opry and Carnegie Hall\, to delivering stirring renditions of the national anthem at NBA games and NASCAR events through the years\, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound have also been a beloved fixture at Gaither Homecoming gatherings across the country. \nAs leading innovators of the genre\, the quartet’s musical risks have earned big payoffs as well. Their 2019 holiday collection\, A Jazzy Little Christmas\, landed in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Jazz Albums chart and was named among the “Best Christmas Albums of 2019” by the Los Angeles Times. In addition\, 2022’s Decades of Love—a whopping 29-song set—showcases Ernie Haase & Signature Sound’s unique arrangements of some of the world’s most romantic standards\, including “It Had To Be You\,” “Blue Moon\,” and “I’ll Be Seeing You.” \nFrom the very beginning\, the quartet has also maintained a global presence\, performing to audiences in countless countries\, including South Africa\, New Zealand\, Romania and the Netherlands—the latter where they returned to record their latest album\, Live in Amsterdam: A 20th Anniversary Celebration\, a legacy project that commemorates two decades of ministry. \nPurchase Dinner Tickets Here

SUMMARY:Rob Rienow - Week Five

His most important ministry is loving his wife and leading his children to know God and love Him. He attended Wheaton College\, then completed an MA in theology at Wheaton College Graduate School\, an MDiv from Trinity International Divinity School\, and a Doctor of Ministry in Christian Leadership from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary.

He partners and consults with numerous churches\, encouraging them to accelerate evangelism and discipleship through families.
