WIND, with special guest Fletch Wiley

Hi everybody,

I’m looking forward to sharing this new episode entitled WIND, with special guest Fletch Wiley. I’ve known this guy 50 years and he’s the best when it comes to WIND instruments heard on so many early Jesus music recordings. Today he’s still actively involved in writing and producing albums around the world.

On this show you’ll hear songs from the band SONLIGHT where Fletch played trumpet and flute and flugelhorn. The group backed up Andraé Crouch and the disciples and played on stage at EXPLO 72 in Dallas.

You hear songs like DAY OF SALVATION, I SAW HIS FACE and others and then on part two, I’ll feature groups that loved WIND instruments like the group SEAWIND, MICHAEL OMARTIAN, RICK RISO, the SWEET COMFORT BAND and others,

Thanks again for your one time and monthly support. Let me know what you think of the show and write me at info@fullcirclejesusmusic.com

Hi Everybody,

His “train’s up in the sky” and on this episode I’m remembering my friend the late Mylon LeFevre. For many years he came to Southern Illinois, where I was living at the time, for my Jesus Solid Rock Concerts. His concerts were sold out and Mylon ministering on stage was some of the best I’ve ever seen. Mylon LeFevre and Broken Heart!! We miss you!

Give a listen and “like” on Facebook and tell your friends about this tribute program. You’ll hear songs like Brand New Start, Morning Star, Crack The Sky, Trains Up In The Sky, More and so much MORE!! BUT, it is impossible to scratch the surface of how we were all so touched by his song and ministry, in just one hour.

Thanks to my supporters who made the show possible. Give a listen!

Hit The Switch – w/special guest John Pantano

Hi Everybody,

Thanks to a special friend Randy Layton, who inspired this episode of FULL CIRCLE with special guest, John Pantano. An early pioneer in Jesus Rock with his friend, Ron Salsbury, they were known as the JC Power Outlet as well as Pantano and Salsbury and introduced some great songs to the new era of the Jesus Revolution.

You’ll get a sneak preview of the freshly remixed project, HIT THE SWITCH, with songs like PEACE AND POWER, HOLD ON, SOUL SEEKER and the unforgettable I CHOOSE TO FOLLOW YOU. You’ll really enjoy these memorable songs back in your life.

As always, thank you for your prayers and support for this radio ministry!!

Hi Everybody,

Because of my special friend Bob Henninger, I am pleased to offer Episode #293 entitled CHOICES. The idea for the show and the songs that you’ll hear were contributed by Bob, who also was the financial underwriter for the show. What a great gift that you could also consider doing for this radio ministry sometime. Bob even sent me the songs on mp3s. Thanks brother!

You’ll hear great tunes from the Sweet Comfort Band, Mylon LeFevre, Chuck Girard, Pat Terry Group and the late Denny Correll and much more. Be sure and consider how important choices really are each and every day.

I’m Not Alone, with Russ Taff, Part Two on Episode #292

Hi everbody,

Here’s part two of the interview and music of Russ Taff. On this episode you’ll hear more of his great songs like I’ve Come To Far, Walk Between The Lines, This Love Is Strong and his best known We Will Stand and others.

You might find the interview causes emotions to rise up, not just because of his tender honesty and openness but because it might uncover something you’ve left buried way too long. If Russ can find forgiveness and freedom through surrender, so can you. And that’s the real reason for this ministry since it started in 1972.

If you would please, pass Part 1 and Part 2 on to someone you knows that might need to hear this powerful testimony and listen again yourself.

Thanks to all who underwrite this ministry. There’s room for you too if you would prayerfully consider using the DONATE button at the top of this page. All gifts are tax exempt and appreciated whether one time or on a regular monthly basis. Thank you!

I’m Not Alone, with Russ Taff, Part One on Episode #291

Hi everybody,

I’ve been looking forward to sharing my interview with Russ Taff. I quickly discovered I couldn’t get it all on just one episode and that I would need to record part two. So I did and it was great and I’ll share that part next. My special friend Ken Eichler was the inspiration and contact with Russ on this episode and so I dedicate this episode to him.

You’ll hear a very transparent and honest story from Russ, his hidden struggles and fears and how Jesus made such a difference in his life. Stories told through the songs like DOWN IN THE LOWLANDS, I WANT TO CHANGE, I CRY, SILENT LOVE and the song that is reflected in the episode title, I’M NOT ALONE. I believe this is a show you’ll want to listen to more than once and pass on to a friend.

Thanks again to my supporters who helped to underwrite this project and join me in inviting you to become part of our giving team for this ministry. At the top of this website, just go to the DONATE tab and check the giving button. Gifts either one time or monthly are tax exempt. Thanks!

You’ll hear songs from David Meece, 2d Chapter of Acts, Phil Keaggy, Allies, Bob Bennett and the late Keith Green. Give me a listen to Episode #290 and tell a friend.

Don’t Lose Hope, Jesus Cares – Episode #289

Hi everybody,

This is Jerry Bryant and I think this episode will be an encouragement to many. We’ve all sensed loss from time to time, but the encouragement of these songs will be to not give up and lose hope. Jesus cares!

You hear from Greg X Volz, Mylon LeFevre and Broken Heart, Leslie Phillips, Steve Camp, Michael Omartian and so many more. Jesus will help change your perspective as to what has happened to you that has caused you to grieve. He came to comfort those in a place of despair. I know, He has comforted me.

Thanks again for your support of this radio ministry! Blessings and tell a friend!

One Way, Episode #288

Hi Everybody,

The JESUS REVOLUTION was real back in the late 60’s and early 70’s and it’s real today. Jesus is moving. The songs you’ll hear on this FULL CIRCLE came out of that God ordained era and influenced today’s CCM. I was part of that season and thankful to get to share those songs and the story with you on Episode #288.

I’ll feature music from Maranatha Music’s The Way, Mylon LeFevre, Benny Hester, Jon Gibson and the late Larry Norman and much more. I’d like to remind you that there’s just ONE WAY! That’s what Jesus said. Just “one door” to the Father. Give a listen and tell a friend.

Thanks again for those who underwrote this episode that I’ve dedicated to the “littlest Jesus freak,” my son Andy. That’s his “one way” finger to heaven, on the cover of my social media.
