So do I have the honor? 01:34 You do it. Oh, yeah. 01:36 Okay. We have Reggie Smith and Ladye Love Smith. 01:41 They're related? 01:43 They are husband and wife team. 01:44 We're actually mentoring to each other too. 01:47 That's wonderful. Yeah. Yeah. 01:49 You know it's great to have you guys here. 01:53 And now I'll say this to the folks 01:55 that watch 3ABN for 30 years 01:57 they know I don't what we call "blow the smoke" 01:59 just say "Thanks." 02:01 But I honestly I was thinking about this 02:03 while ago they were singing. 02:04 They are in my opinion we give God the credit 02:06 so you don't need to say anything. 02:08 But Yvonne and I can talk about it. 02:10 We give God the credit. 02:12 But really you are the most 02:13 dynamic husband and wife musical team 02:16 I've ever seen in my life anywhere. 02:19 You guys, now I know that's embarrassing for you. 02:22 So they can keep the camera over here on us 02:24 if they want to. 02:25 But I'm serious about that, you both, 02:28 these two are individually 02:31 some of the most gifted people literally on the planet. 02:34 I really believe that and I just don't say that. 02:36 The folk know that at home. 02:37 No, wait a minute, you'll are our friends 02:39 so that's why. 02:40 But you know what? We are but we tell the truth. 02:42 And I anticipated they might say it, 02:44 so I went back I just thought of that a few minutes ago. 02:48 And I said but I thought that first time 02:49 I ever heard you sing. 02:51 When I heard you guys singing, didn't know you. 02:53 I said, that is the most incredible duet, 02:55 husband and wife team I've ever seen ministry team. 02:58 So what a privilege for you all 03:00 to be able to travel together with Bret and your family 03:03 and to do what you love to do 03:05 and what God has equipped you to do together 03:08 and do it at such a level. 03:10 Yvonne would know because you come from a musical background, 03:13 it's no small background, small beginnings. 03:16 And you feel the same way I do about this folk. 03:18 Oh, I do. I'm so blessed. 03:20 Every time I hear you guys sing, 03:21 it's such a blessing 03:23 because they don't just perform, they minister. 03:27 And to me that's... 03:28 With the gifts that God has given you, 03:30 you could be out in the world making, 03:32 you know, all these money 03:33 and doing all these other things 03:35 and yet you've chosen to give your gifts to God. 03:38 And to me that's beautiful. 03:40 It's just beautiful. 03:41 So we love you guys. 03:43 Thank you. We love you too. Absolutely. 03:44 What we're going to do, 03:46 we're only going to make this intro really short. 03:48 And we want you all to just sing your hearts out to us, 03:50 minister to us. 03:52 But we're going to talk about some changes 03:54 and one of those being with Gaither Vocal Band. 03:56 We're going to talk about that a little bit 03:58 and talk about those changes. 04:01 And, you know, as a family unit and what you're doing 04:03 but one of the reasons we wanted this folk on today 04:07 is because so many of you have heard about it, 04:09 so we get emails and phone calls 04:12 "Oh, no, we hear Reggie's going with a vocal band, 04:15 does that mean the Smiths won't be with 3ABN anymore? 04:18 They're going be too busy 04:19 for camp meeting and all of that." 04:21 Absolutely not. 04:22 So we wanted the folks to know 04:24 and hear it firsthand from you guys, 04:26 you're not giving up 3ABN... 04:28 Absolutely not. 04:29 Just because they hit the big time, 04:32 they're not, you know, what I'm saying... 04:33 I know, talking about little people now. 04:35 Just because they went up the street... 04:37 Okay, you need to stop that right now. 04:42 That's were my dad's old terms, 04:44 you know, somebody do something and be successful, 04:47 he'd say, "Oh, yeah, they went up the street on us." 04:49 So going up the street. 04:51 But we're so excited about what you're doing. 04:53 But we're so thankful that you all are here today. 04:57 And I think if you... 04:58 Lest you guys have something else, Yvonne. 05:00 We're going just kind of back out of the way, 05:02 let them minister to us and then we'll come back 05:04 and finish out the program. 05:06 And we got to hear the latest from Reggie and Ladye Love. 05:09 You guys ready to minister? We're ready. 05:11 All right. Let's go. 05:12 Let's sing to us.

Thank you. 44:37 They didn't just sing to us, they ministered to us. 44:39 And that's what makes it so special. 44:41 You'll having an anointing on you, 44:43 and I'm sure you feel that as you stand up to witness 44:46 when you're witnessing, 44:47 whether you're singing, preaching, testifying, 44:49 whatever you can tell it 44:50 when the Lord really anoints you 44:52 and we feel that anointing today. 44:55 So while we're having fun 44:56 and you've been blessed that way also. 44:58 This is a great time, 44:59 if you don't know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life 45:03 to accept Him today. 45:05 It's a free gift. 45:06 All we have to do is confess our sins, the Bible says, 45:09 "We all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." 45:11 That's everybody, no exceptions. 45:14 And it says, "All we have to do is 45:15 ask God to forgive us." 45:17 If we confess our sins, He's faithful 45:19 and just to forgive us from our sins 45:21 and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 45:23 Then all we have to do is 45:25 go and tell what Jesus has done for us. 45:27 Always say the gospel words come and go. 45:29 Come to the foot of the cross and go and tell 45:32 what Jesus has done for us. 45:34 So today would be a great time, 45:35 if you're not a Christian to say, 45:37 you know what, I've been so blessed by this. 45:39 God is really speaking to you, 45:41 right now we would encourage you to just say, 45:43 "Jesus come into my life." 45:45 And I promise you, your life will be changed forever. 45:48 Amen. 45:50 You know, Yvonne, 45:51 when I think about being with Reggie and Ladye, 45:54 I mean, we've traveled a lot around countries, 45:56 around the world with them. 45:58 But I'm always amazed, 45:59 no matter wherever we go that they love people so much. 46:04 We've been to restaurants, one night, 46:06 we both got locked in the Aquarium Restaurant 46:09 at Opry Mills Mall in Nashville 46:12 'cause we couldn't find her and they shut, the bar is down 46:15 and we're trying to get out, you know what, 46:17 she was ministering to one of the cooks in the back. 46:19 She's seen something... 46:20 And then they shut the bars down, 46:21 you mean the bars they come down, the gates down. 46:23 The gates. 46:24 Well, yeah, yeah. 46:26 Well, the gates, but the gates and bars. 46:28 I say it wasn't prison or anything. 46:31 But it's the gates that have bars on them 46:34 and likely enough, I'm like to get out of here. 46:36 Where's Ladye, 46:37 but she was ministering to someone in the back. 46:40 And I thought, you know, isn't that great, this folk, 46:42 they're not out just singing and just, you know, 46:45 what you see with them is what you get. 46:47 We have few minutes, we got to talk about 46:49 the Gaither Vocal Band and what's happened to you all, 46:53 Ladye and Reggie, and then what's the difference 46:55 it's making you having to do some adjustments here. 46:58 There is definitely a little bit. 47:00 First of all, I'm very honored to be part of the Vocal Band, 47:02 the Gaither Vocal Band. 47:04 And Mr. Gaither, Mr. Bill has turned 81 years old. 47:07 He wears his fitbit. 47:09 And he walks 13,000 to 14,000 steps every day. 47:12 Every day, so he's really health conscious 47:15 and taking care of himself. 47:16 So he works 14, 16, 18 hours a day. 47:18 So it's been very, very honorary to be part of that. 47:21 And the group of guys, Danny, are just incredible. 47:24 And so they are, who you are singing with now. 47:25 Okay. Oh, boy. 47:27 Watch me try to think of their names, I can't. 47:30 So we have Wes Hampton 47:34 which is just a wonderful, wonderful person. 47:36 He's been in the Vocal Band I think 12 years. 47:38 He's the longest in the group so far at now. 47:42 And just a super, super wonderful person, 47:45 incredible gifted singer. 47:47 And secondly we have Crabb, Adam Crabb, the Crabb family. 47:52 You know, so many of you know who the Crabbs are... 47:54 Oh yeah. Absolutely. 47:55 Just great talent. 47:57 I've been accused to being crabby, I'm not crabby. 47:58 I'm crabby from time to time... 48:00 That's right. But I will say this, he is not crabby. 48:02 Good. 48:04 He's not crab, 'cause we've been on the bus 48:05 many, many trips and he says he's a crab by name 48:07 but he's not crab, 48:08 they're precious, precious people. 48:11 And a wonderful singer, all these guys. 48:13 And then there's a Tod, Tod Suttles, 48:17 amazing, amazing guy. 48:18 This guy, he worked for 20 years 48:21 with the Vanderbilt 48:22 as their strength and conditioning coordinator 48:24 and trainer for all their sports. 48:27 So he would basically take those athletes 48:30 who're broken down and hurt and put them back 48:32 and get them on the back on the field in action. 48:34 And, of course, 48:35 all the professional coaches knew him. 48:37 Tod, incredible gifted voice and just great. 48:40 And, of course, you know the guy that his name on a bus, 48:44 is Bill Gaither, you know, so, you know, he... 48:47 And Tod is a great guy, you tell me all the time. 48:49 Oh, super guy, just amazing. I thought I said that. 48:52 But he's just all over a great guy. 48:54 You now, they're buddies and it makes a big difference. 48:56 They stay good friends. 48:58 So you're like C.A. Murray says about us folk say, 49:01 "Do you liked in real life" 49:03 and he says, "No, we really do get along." 49:05 So you guys really do get along. 49:06 Danny, he's just like guys, I mean, really same thing, 49:08 you know, we all just have a great time together, 49:10 so it's a great honor. 49:11 Now I will say this, 49:13 it's a different rhythm for my family 49:15 because for, you know, almost 30 years... 49:18 Thirty? 49:19 Almost 10 years... 49:23 Almost 10 years... 49:24 Five years. 49:25 Ten years, five years, ten years... 49:28 Lot of years. 49:29 We've been married 22 years, almost 20 years... 49:30 Yeah, sure. 49:32 Anyway, so, you know what, there's a different rhythm 49:34 and I'm traveling with a bunch of guys on the bus 49:38 and not my beautiful wife all the time. 49:40 Now, here's the deal. 49:41 Lot of people are saying, 49:43 so you and Ladye Love will not sing anymore? 49:44 It's not at all true. 49:45 We're singing all the time, we're still continuing to sing, 49:49 and we will always sing the rest of our lives together 49:51 because, you know, that's where we'll end up, 49:53 you know, one day. 49:54 But so we will continue to do events and concerts, 49:57 a big part of 3ABN when they'll have us. 49:58 And, you know, and those kinds of things. 50:00 But, you know, it's little bit different from rhythm 50:02 for Ladye Love, I can't really... 50:03 And our son is enduring, 50:05 I cannot believe we went to high school, 50:07 freshman orientation last year. 50:10 You'll not believe it. 50:11 And he's wanting to be home a little more. 50:13 So this is really kind of a whole wonderful thing 50:15 that God is kind of work this out. 50:17 So I'll be home some with him and there are weekends, 50:19 two weekends in a month that Reggie is not out, 50:21 will be doing what we always do still. 50:23 Good. All right. 50:24 Well, make sure you keep on this list, right, folks. 50:28 Oh, listen. 50:29 People were putting in my Facebook 50:31 "so you're not going to be at 3ABN anymore?" 50:32 I'm like absolutely we are. 50:35 And I always say one thing 50:37 and I didn't know how this will fit into this 50:38 but I just want to say, 50:39 you know, you've been our great friends forever. 50:42 It seems like and when this opportunity came up 50:44 Reggie called you and said, "What do you think, Danny? 50:46 And got your council on that." 50:48 And said, "What do you think about this 50:49 for our family as far as our ministry, 50:52 as far as and you said "Absolutely, 50:54 God is going to use this." 50:55 And I don't remember everything you said 50:57 but you just said, you know, 50:58 that I just wanted people to know 51:00 that it was important to us what you thought. 51:02 Well, I'm glad you called and, 51:04 you know put in my little two sense 51:06 but untimely you and the Lord and Ladye and Reg 51:09 had to work this out, 51:10 and that's the decision you came to. 51:12 So I have no doubt it's of the Lord. 51:14 And so we look forward to when you guys come there, 51:17 if we see the Gaithers coming around 51:19 anywhere in Southern Illinois, 51:21 I think they come to Evansville, Indiana 51:22 or you come over somewhere, St. Louis or Nashville, 51:25 somewhere we're going to come and be a part of it down there 51:29 'cause we love watching y'all. 51:32 You know, Danny, what you said though, 51:33 you said, you know I think this is a God thing. 51:36 You said that I'm pretty sure you said that first. 51:39 And then when I met with Mr. Bill Gaither 51:41 about the possibility, 51:44 he said we were talking the same kind of thing. 51:47 He's verbally said the same thing, 51:48 he said, I just think this is a God thing. 51:51 Right time and God's right timing. 51:52 It's a right timing. And right time for a God thing. 51:54 And that really connected with me 51:57 when I heard that ring out, it's a God thing. 52:00 It's God again, you know. Absolutely. 52:03 Yvonne, what do you think about all this? 52:06 First of all, I'm so proud. 52:08 I'm so proud of what Reggie's doing, 52:10 I'm so proud of Reggie and Ladye when they sing. 52:12 It's just it is a God thing. 52:15 You two get to go out on the road 52:17 to reach all of these people. 52:20 You're using your gifts for the Lord. 52:22 That's huge. It's major. 52:24 And so to know that God has chosen you 52:27 to do this it is a great honor. 52:30 And we're proud of you and we're thankful 52:32 that the Lord is using you like this. 52:34 And I would just like... 52:35 And you're wonderful companion for him. 52:36 I just had to add that. Amen. And Hallelujah. 52:38 I just would like to say... 52:39 Could you have to have the right wife. 52:41 When you're on the road like this, 52:43 you have to have the right companion. 52:44 Otherwise that support isn't there. 52:47 It's a big problem. 52:48 Go head. Well, I know exactly. 52:50 I just want to say to everyone out there, 52:51 you know, we're talking about 52:53 opportunities and different things. 52:54 But God has a plan for every person 52:57 out there right now all of us. 53:00 And it doesn't matter what the platform is, 53:02 He wants to use us. 53:03 And I just feel like that we all need to be diligent 53:06 and be used in however. 53:07 I mean, you've no idea 53:09 the difference you can make in one person's life 53:11 and you don't know what that person 53:12 how he's going to go out or she is going to go out 53:14 and pay that forward or that God is going to use them. 53:17 We're all connected in every decision we make 53:20 and all the choices we make. 53:22 To me the smaller ones are the monumental ones 53:25 that we think are small. 53:26 We have no idea how God uses 53:28 talking to the cook or talking to the... 53:30 whatever because that is what we're called to do. 53:33 Or talking to as you've been put under for surgery 53:36 and apologizing, saying "I'm sorry." 53:38 Where she is coming out of surgery 53:40 and we were there and she's like "I'm sorry. 53:42 I can't..." 53:43 You know, and we were like, Ladye, just relax. 53:45 You deserve this. 53:46 You just came out of surgery, you don't have to apologize. 53:48 That means so much that you all were there. 53:50 And all these people were. 53:52 She's so sensitive about folks and everybody's needs. 53:55 That who she is though so concerned. 53:57 Here she is just coming out of the surgery herself 54:00 and she is worried about us. 54:02 We are like "Don't worry about us, we're just here." 54:04 We're afraid, she's not going to be good company. 54:06 Yeah. Yeah. 54:08 She prayed she's not going to be 54:09 able to stay with the combo conversation, you know. 54:12 But I want to pick up on what Ladye Love said 54:15 because this is so important 54:16 and we talk about this on Dare to Dream a lot 54:19 that God has a plan for every life. 54:22 And there's nothing too small or too big. 54:25 We all have to fit into this mosaic. 54:28 And God has this plan for you. 54:32 You know what? 54:34 Why don't we do something a little different today? 54:35 I saw a guitar there, 54:37 and I'd sure like for Reggie to... 54:39 I don't know if he's used it yet today 54:41 or got to warm up any, 54:43 but it's sitting there with your name on it. 54:44 Why don't we kind of go out today 54:47 and maybe just have you guys sing anything you want to sing, 54:49 something you've written, something you knew 54:51 when you was a child, 54:53 or something you sing on the road, 54:54 or something you make up right now. 54:56 We don't really care. 54:57 We got a little boat, maybe little longer. 54:58 Okay. All right. 55:00 We'll do it. So what we're going to do. 55:02 We're just going to say goodbye to folks right now. 55:04 Until we see you next time, may the Lord richly bless you, 55:07 abundantly more than you could ever ask or think. 55:09 But don't go away yet. That's right. 55:11 We're going to go out today with Reggie and Ladye. 55:14 What are we going to do? 55:15 What song you're going do? 55:17 Let's do that old hymn called "Who at my door is standing". 55:21 Got it. Sing along with them if you know it. 55:31 Who at my door 55:35 Is standing 55:41 Patiently 55:43 Drawing near 55:50 Entrance within 55:53 He's asking 55:59 Whose is the voice 56:02 I hear? 56:07 Sweetly the tones 56:10 Are falling 56:15 "Open the door 56:19 For me! 56:25 If you wilt heed 56:28 My calling 56:33 I will abide 56:37 With thee." 56:41 Lonely without 56:45 He's standing 56:51 Lonely within 56:54 Am I 56:59 While I am 57:01 Still delaying 57:08 Will He not pass me by? 57:16 Sweetly the tones 57:20 Are falling 57:25 "Open the door 57:29 For me! 57:35 If you wilt heed 57:38 My calling 57:43 I will abide 57:46 With thee." 57:50 I will abide 57:52 I will abide 57:57 With thee |
