Ever since I was in Junior High School, I've been discovering more and more people who make music glorifying God, and one of my more recent discoveries is a man named Calvin Bridges. Calvin is currently a pastor in Chicago, but he has been making music since the 1980s. His album Renew My Spirit was a breakthrough release on the Billboard Gospel Albums chart. Calvin has released twenty albums, many of which feature some fantastic Gospel choirs. There is an energy and a heart that a black Gospel choir brings that just can't be duplicated, and I hope to talk a little bit about the anointing of a great Gospel choir. It is a real honor for me to chat with this Spirit-filled, joyful man. So join me in welcoming Gospel Music pioneer, pastor, and my new friend, Calvin Bridges, to the podcast!
