We're here today
with Rachel Dupard.
00:01:00.36\00:01:03.49
Rachel, I'm so glad to have
you on Magnify Him, welcome.
00:01:03.53\00:01:07.36
Thank you.
00:01:07.40\00:01:08.73
Rachel, some thing happened
to you when you were about
00:01:08.76\00:01:11.00
three of four years old.
00:01:11.03\00:01:12.37
Tell us about it.
00:01:12.40\00:01:13.74
I had a inner ear
dysfunction when I was about--
00:01:13.77\00:01:15.90
they found out I had this
00:01:15.94\00:01:17.27
when I was four
or three years old.
00:01:17.31\00:01:18.87
Had to be rushed to the
hospital after I fell ill,
00:01:18.91\00:01:21.11
my mom found me in the
back of the seat bleeding
00:01:21.14\00:01:24.31
through my nose and
the doctor soon told me
00:01:24.35\00:01:26.61
that I had
inner ear dysfunction.
00:01:26.65\00:01:27.98
I could not talk.
00:01:28.02\00:01:29.35
I used to caw, caw all the time.
00:01:29.38\00:01:30.95
But they thought
it was a cute thing.
00:01:30.99\00:01:32.55
They didn't know that
it was actually a problem.
00:01:32.59\00:01:34.62
So after that I had to
have, I found I had to go
00:01:34.66\00:01:36.89
to the speech
therapy for seven years
00:01:36.93\00:01:39.13
and it was
pretty heart [breaking]
00:01:39.16\00:01:41.23
but still the
Lord got me through it
00:01:41.26\00:01:42.96
and I decided that
I want to sing for Him
00:01:43.00\00:01:44.43
for getting me through
this whole process in my life.
00:01:44.47\00:01:47.34
Well, so, you
weren't able to really talk.
00:01:47.37\00:01:52.91
No, until I was
about five or six.
00:01:52.94\00:01:57.91
My! Yeah.
00:01:57.95\00:01:59.41
And when our
viewers hear you sing,
00:01:59.45\00:02:01.58
they're gonna know
that truly a miracle
00:02:01.62\00:02:03.59
has been wrought By Lord.
00:02:03.62\00:02:04.95
So you decided when you were
little that you wanted to sing.
00:02:05.95\00:02:09.16
Does anybody else
in your family sing?
00:02:09.19\00:02:11.46
Ooh, no. No Ma'am.
00:02:11.49\00:02:13.63
My mom, she can hold a note,
00:02:13.66\00:02:15.20
my dad, he can
hold a note but, no.
00:02:15.23\00:02:17.90
Really so you are
the only one that sings.
00:02:17.93\00:02:19.83
Yes, Ma'am.
00:02:19.87\00:02:21.20
Tell us about
your music ministry.
00:02:21.24\00:02:22.57
What are you doing now?
00:02:22.60\00:02:23.94
Well, I basically I'm
being, I'm singing in churches
00:02:23.97\00:02:26.91
all over the United States
but whenever I'm asked to sing,
00:02:26.94\00:02:31.35
I just do it and I'm just.
00:02:31.38\00:02:34.22
I just want to do
this as I get older,
00:02:34.25\00:02:36.08
I just, I
always want to do this.
00:02:36.12\00:02:37.72
It's so wonderful.
00:02:37.75\00:02:39.09
Tell us some of the
places you've been already
00:02:39.12\00:02:41.26
or who you sung with.
00:02:41.29\00:02:42.66
I've been to, oh, this is
been out of the United States
00:02:42.69\00:02:44.69
but I went to Bermuda to
sing in this Christmas program
00:02:44.73\00:02:48.63
for like, but it was
like Christian type thing but-
00:02:48.66\00:02:51.87
Was it television
or- It was on television.
00:02:51.90\00:02:53.64
It was actually for
3ABN. Oh, wonderful, wonderful.
00:02:53.67\00:02:57.07
And you did some thing
00:02:57.11\00:02:58.44
with the Essence
Awards or some thing.
00:02:58.47\00:02:59.81
Essence Music
Festival in New Orleans.
00:02:59.84\00:03:01.21
Ah, that's awesome. Yes, Ma'am.
00:03:01.24\00:03:04.15
I did the Youth
Ministry thing over there.
00:03:04.18\00:03:08.62
The Youth program and I
sang the National Anthem
00:03:08.65\00:03:13.46
and every thing else--
00:03:13.49\00:03:14.82
What was that like, singing
a National Anthem as a singer,
00:03:14.86\00:03:17.53
the National Anthem is
not an easy song to sing?
00:03:17.56\00:03:20.53
How was that for you?
00:03:20.56\00:03:21.96
Huh, it was hard
so I had to bring
00:03:22.00\00:03:24.43
the microphone
back but you know,
00:03:24.47\00:03:25.80
it was pretty, it was all right.
00:03:25.83\00:03:27.17
That's great.
00:03:27.20\00:03:28.54
You are how old
now? I'm 16 years old.
00:03:28.57\00:03:31.37
You're 16 years old. Yes, Ma'am.
00:03:31.41\00:03:33.24
Where do you see
yourself when you are like 21?
00:03:33.27\00:03:36.24
Where do you think, as
you look at your path now,
00:03:36.28\00:03:40.05
where do you think
the Lord is taking you?
00:03:40.08\00:03:42.08
I pray to God that I'd be a
professional singer for Him.
00:03:42.12\00:03:45.99
And people always tell
me not go out in the world
00:03:46.02\00:03:48.92
like R&B singers.
00:03:48.96\00:03:50.66
I plan not to do that.
00:03:50.69\00:03:52.03
I just plan to
sing for the Lord, yeah.
00:03:52.06\00:03:53.66
That's wonderful.
00:03:53.70\00:03:55.03
How do think
you're gonna not do that?
00:03:55.06\00:03:58.33
Stay away as far as possible.
00:03:58.37\00:03:59.70
'Cause it's
really tempting I know.
00:03:59.73\00:04:01.64
But I'm just gonna stay
as far as possible from it.
00:04:01.67\00:04:04.21
Stay in the
church. That is so good.
00:04:04.24\00:04:06.07
Is it difficult
to be a young person
00:04:06.11\00:04:08.54
growing up in the church today?
00:04:08.58\00:04:11.95
It kind of is. It is. Why?
00:04:11.98\00:04:15.32
Well, I mean, I
don't know, it's just like
00:04:15.35\00:04:19.05
they tell the
children in the church,
00:04:19.09\00:04:20.42
there's, they are
children still you know
00:04:20.46\00:04:22.62
but they can be a little,
little mean, stuff like that
00:04:22.66\00:04:27.60
but still they are children.
00:04:27.63\00:04:29.23
Okay, so do you have
difficulty like being talented,
00:04:29.26\00:04:33.20
are some of the kids,
are they mean toward you
00:04:33.23\00:04:37.17
or they accept your gift?
00:04:37.21\00:04:39.11
Well, some are really nice
but some can be really mean.
00:04:39.14\00:04:41.54
Like in Middle school
they used to call me Medusa
00:04:41.58\00:04:43.24
'cause I had dread locks
and they were still forming
00:04:43.28\00:04:45.71
and they weren't at
their mature state yet.
00:04:45.75\00:04:47.78
So people used to
call me that and you know
00:04:47.82\00:04:50.52
Middle school days they just-
00:04:50.55\00:04:52.59
So you kind of feel
like you had to go through
00:04:52.62\00:04:55.19
some challenges
as a young person.
00:04:55.22\00:04:58.26
Do you think that God has
a plan for everyone's life?
00:04:58.29\00:05:02.90
I do.
00:05:02.93\00:05:04.33
Some people may not
know it but they may know
00:05:04.37\00:05:05.93
when they get older.
00:05:05.97\00:05:07.30
But I definitely
know my plan here,
00:05:07.34\00:05:09.57
is to be a singer for God.
00:05:09.60\00:05:11.04
Definitely. That is so amazing.
00:05:11.07\00:05:12.41
You know, I watched at
church and the Lord has kept you
00:05:12.44\00:05:17.35
so focused and
that's such a blessing.
00:05:17.38\00:05:20.05
I have seen you
singing at church
00:05:20.08\00:05:21.78
and it's such a blessing to see
00:05:21.82\00:05:25.65
and I know that there
are some challenges out there
00:05:25.69\00:05:27.89
as a young person.
00:05:27.92\00:05:29.26
Can you think of
anymore, anymore things
00:05:29.29\00:05:31.26
that can just kind of
pull you into the world
00:05:31.29\00:05:33.56
that you want to be careful of?
00:05:33.60\00:05:35.03
Tons, okay I go Book or Tea
00:05:35.06\00:05:36.67
and there's a lot of art
students and sometimes the art,
00:05:36.70\00:05:40.94
you know, they are
huh, let's just say they do
00:05:40.97\00:05:45.27
a little of drugs to get there
00:05:45.31\00:05:49.28
to express themselves,
00:05:49.31\00:05:50.65
I don't know but I
stay as far as possible.
00:05:50.68\00:05:53.25
Amen.
00:05:53.28\00:05:54.62
You know that is
such an amazing blessing
00:05:54.65\00:05:57.72
to know that when you hold on
00:05:57.75\00:06:00.16
to the Lord's
hand you cannot fail.
00:06:00.19\00:06:03.26
He's gonna bring
you through every thing
00:06:03.29\00:06:04.86
because he's got a plan for you.
00:06:04.89\00:06:08.36
It is gonna be amazing
to hear Rachel's Ministry.
00:06:08.40\00:06:12.40
She's a blessing.
00:06:12.43\00:06:13.77
Not a second Or another minute
00:06:24.05\00:06:28.45
Not an hour Or another day
00:06:28.48\00:06:32.62
But at this moment
with my arms outstretched
00:06:32.65\00:06:37.33
I need you to make a way
00:06:37.36\00:06:40.23
As you've done
so many times before
00:06:40.26\00:06:46.23
Through a window or an open door
00:06:46.27\00:06:49.57
I stretch my hands to thee
00:06:49.60\00:06:53.68
Come rescue me
00:06:53.71\00:06:56.24
I need you right away
00:06:56.28\00:07:00.22
I need you now
00:07:00.25\00:07:06.32
I need you now
00:07:06.35\00:07:11.93
I need you now
00:07:11.96\00:07:19.03
I need you now
00:07:19.07\00:07:23.24
Oh, not another
second Nor another minute
00:07:28.61\00:07:33.62
Not an hour of another day
00:07:33.65\00:07:36.25
But no, Lord
00:07:36.28\00:07:37.95
I need you right away
00:07:37.99\00:07:43.16
If I never needed you before
00:07:47.00\00:07:51.20
To show up and restore
00:07:51.23\00:07:54.40
All of the faith that I let slip
00:07:54.44\00:07:59.54
While I was yet
searching the world for more
00:07:59.57\00:08:04.11
The true best
friend I have indeed
00:08:04.15\00:08:09.58
You're my best
friend I have indeed
00:08:09.62\00:08:13.72
I stretch my hands to thee
00:08:13.76\00:08:17.99
Come rescue me
00:08:18.03\00:08:20.80
I need you right away
00:08:20.83\00:08:24.63
The agony of being alone
00:08:28.14\00:08:33.07
The fear of
doing things on my own
00:08:33.11\00:08:38.18
The test and trials that
00:08:38.21\00:08:39.85
come to make me strong
00:08:39.88\00:08:44.39
The feelings of
guilt, hurt, pain, and defeat
00:08:49.19\00:08:54.53
The way the
trials that beat upon me
00:08:54.56\00:08:59.40
But to know Lord that in you
00:08:59.43\00:09:02.50
I've got victory, yeah
00:09:02.54\00:09:09.64
I need you now
00:09:09.68\00:09:11.65
Lord, I need you now
00:09:11.68\00:09:17.85
Oh, I need you right
now, right now, right now
00:09:17.89\00:09:24.93
I need you now
00:09:24.96\00:09:29.23
Oh not another second
00:09:32.20\00:09:33.64
Not another minute, Lord
00:09:33.67\00:09:37.04
Not an hour Or another day
00:09:37.07\00:09:40.04
but no, Lord I
need you right away
00:09:40.08\00:09:47.62
Oh Lord, Oh Lord
00:09:47.65\00:09:51.79
Can't wait another day
00:09:51.82\00:09:54.16
Oh Lord,
00:09:54.19\00:09:57.99
please make a way
00:09:58.03\00:10:04.73
Oh Lord, Oh Lord,
00:10:04.77\00:10:10.54
Uh, Lord.
00:10:10.57\00:10:15.61
Everyone has a song
and this song is about
00:10:22.58\00:10:24.75
what you go
through in your challenges.
00:10:24.79\00:10:27.06
"What is Your Song?"
00:10:27.09\00:10:28.42
Yeah, mm mmh,
00:10:34.40\00:10:40.77
oh, yeah
00:10:40.80\00:10:46.98
There is a song
00:10:47.01\00:10:50.91
In each and everyone
00:10:50.95\00:10:54.95
Words unheard
00:10:54.98\00:10:58.69
And songs unsung
00:10:58.72\00:11:02.49
Each day is a new verse
00:11:02.52\00:11:06.39
Another road to try
00:11:06.43\00:11:10.33
Another day to live
00:11:10.37\00:11:13.77
Another day for God
00:11:13.80\00:11:17.57
Trails of the chorus
00:11:17.61\00:11:21.41
The complex refrain
00:11:21.44\00:11:25.61
So sweet to the ears
00:11:25.65\00:11:29.48
Sprinkled with pain
00:11:29.52\00:11:33.59
Trials of the chorus
00:11:33.62\00:11:37.36
Complex refrain
00:11:37.39\00:11:41.53
So sweet to the ears
00:11:41.56\00:11:45.40
Sprinkled with pain
00:11:45.43\00:11:49.50
What is the song you sing?
00:11:49.54\00:11:53.38
Have you had your say?
00:11:53.41\00:11:57.58
And have you been kind
00:11:57.61\00:12:01.22
to God's people today?
00:12:01.25\00:12:05.45
You see, we're all His children
00:12:05.49\00:12:09.16
And we share this world
00:12:09.19\00:12:13.06
Every man and woman
00:12:13.09\00:12:17.07
Every boy and girl
00:12:17.10\00:12:21.07
Trails of the chorus
00:12:21.10\00:12:24.97
The complex refrain
00:12:25.01\00:12:29.11
So sweet to the ears
00:12:29.14\00:12:33.01
Sprinkled with pain
00:12:33.05\00:12:37.15
Trials of the chorus
00:12:37.19\00:12:40.89
Complex refrain
00:12:40.92\00:12:44.99
So sweet to the ears
00:12:45.03\00:12:48.80
Sprinkled with pain
00:12:48.83\00:12:53.27
What is your song?
00:12:53.30\00:12:59.14
What is your song?
00:12:59.17\00:13:03.85
Yeah
00:13:03.88\00:13:07.65
What is your song?
00:13:07.68\00:13:14.26
What is your song?
00:13:14.29\00:13:19.49
Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:13:19.53\00:13:20.90
There is a song
00:13:25.37\00:13:29.37
in each and everyone
00:13:29.40\00:13:33.48
Words unheard
00:13:33.51\00:13:37.28
And songs unsung
00:13:37.31\00:13:40.92
Each day is a new verse
00:13:40.95\00:13:44.49
Another road to try
00:13:44.52\00:13:48.79
Another day to live
00:13:48.82\00:13:52.59
Another day for God
00:13:52.63\00:13:57.57
Magnify the Lord with me
00:14:03.47\00:14:06.41
Magnify Him
00:14:06.44\00:14:12.18
Welcome, everyone.
00:14:12.21\00:14:13.55
I'm sitting here with
the group, Counter Point
00:14:13.58\00:14:16.02
and they hailed to us
from Oakwood University.
00:14:16.05\00:14:18.25
Welcome to
Magnify Him, everyone.
00:14:18.29\00:14:20.62
Thank you for having us.
00:14:20.66\00:14:22.06
Gentlemen,
gentlemen, first let me start
00:14:22.09\00:14:23.99
by introducing yourselves.
00:14:24.03\00:14:26.09
So we'll go front to back,
front to back, front to back.
00:14:26.13\00:14:29.26
Your name and
where you are from.
00:14:29.30\00:14:31.57
My name is Erin Manzole
and I'm from Toronto, Canada.
00:14:31.60\00:14:35.40
Wonderful.
00:14:35.44\00:14:36.84
I'm Alan Magnee and I'm
from Long Island, New York.
00:14:36.87\00:14:39.84
New York, next.
00:14:39.87\00:14:41.38
My name is Eric Samson
00:14:41.41\00:14:42.74
and I'm from
Huntsville, Alabama.
00:14:42.78\00:14:44.11
Okay.
00:14:44.15\00:14:45.48
My name is Victor Danny St. Luke
00:14:45.51\00:14:46.85
and I'm from
Hackettstown, New Jersey.
00:14:46.88\00:14:49.12
All right, next.
00:14:49.15\00:14:50.49
My name is Steven Murphy.
I'm from Atlanta, Georgia.
00:14:50.52\00:14:52.49
Atlanta.
00:14:52.52\00:14:53.86
My name is Anton
Reed. I'm from New Jersey.
00:14:53.89\00:14:55.52
So how many of
you knew each other
00:14:56.62\00:14:58.29
before coming to Oakwood?
00:14:58.33\00:15:01.76
Uh, four of us
did actually, yeah,
00:15:01.80\00:15:03.87
myself, Anton,
St. Luke and Alan.
00:15:03.90\00:15:07.24
And did any of you sing
together before Oakwood?
00:15:07.27\00:15:09.84
Well, the three of us
right here were in a group
00:15:09.87\00:15:11.87
in our High school Pine Forge
00:15:11.91\00:15:13.81
and Alan was in
a separate group.
00:15:13.84\00:15:15.68
Okay.
00:15:15.71\00:15:17.05
Now since
you've been at Oakwood,
00:15:17.08\00:15:20.42
there's been a lot of groups
that have come through Oakwood,
00:15:20.45\00:15:23.05
do you pattern
yourself after anybody
00:15:23.08\00:15:25.82
or are you trying to
individualize yourselves
00:15:25.85\00:15:29.32
in a way that some
one will know along,
00:15:29.36\00:15:31.39
"This is not Take 6,
this is not Committed,
00:15:31.43\00:15:33.46
this is Counter Point.
00:15:33.50\00:15:35.63
So what is the
distinguishing factor between
00:15:35.66\00:15:38.13
you and these other groups?
00:15:38.17\00:15:41.54
Well, Duawne, that's kind
of a, it's a hard question.
00:15:41.57\00:15:45.01
It's a hard question?
00:15:45.04\00:15:46.37
Well, we sort of pick
and choose or certain things
00:15:46.41\00:15:49.98
from groups,
especially Take 6 who you know,
00:15:50.01\00:15:53.28
led the way for years
coming and they you know,
00:15:53.31\00:15:55.12
Committed winning
the past competition,
00:15:55.15\00:15:57.95
this past year.
00:15:57.99\00:15:59.32
But um, we would say that
we'd like to do our own thing.
00:15:59.35\00:16:01.62
That's why we you
know, arrange our own musics
00:16:01.66\00:16:03.93
and write our
write our own songs
00:16:03.96\00:16:05.66
and try to mould that after
what we think would sound best
00:16:05.69\00:16:08.76
for our group while still taking
00:16:08.80\00:16:10.23
some of the
greater characteristics
00:16:10.27\00:16:12.10
of past groups like
Take 6 and Committed.
00:16:12.13\00:16:14.74
I'm glad that you
transitioned us to the music
00:16:14.77\00:16:17.17
because one of the
things I wanted to ask you is,
00:16:17.21\00:16:19.57
I think it's interesting
that the a cappella groups
00:16:19.61\00:16:22.74
that I have
heard, none of them are,
00:16:22.78\00:16:25.31
well, let me say it this way,
00:16:25.35\00:16:26.68
all of the a cappella
groups that I have heard,
00:16:26.72\00:16:28.05
they're all
musicians in some way.
00:16:28.08\00:16:29.98
So I'm sure all of you play
an instrument of are familiar
00:16:30.02\00:16:32.62
with an
instrument, is that correct?
00:16:32.65\00:16:34.82
Yeah, we all play some music.
00:16:34.86\00:16:37.23
You know, I find that so
interesting when it comes to
00:16:37.26\00:16:40.00
like a cappella
groups that most of them
00:16:40.03\00:16:42.40
play an instrument but
you don't play an instrument
00:16:42.43\00:16:44.63
when you're singing.
00:16:44.67\00:16:46.84
So what instruments do you play?
00:16:46.87\00:16:48.67
Starting here.
00:16:48.70\00:16:50.04
I play the trumpet. Okay.
00:16:50.07\00:16:51.41
Are you good?
00:16:51.44\00:16:53.38
I must be- I'm sorry.
00:16:53.41\00:16:55.71
And what instrument do you play?
00:16:55.74\00:16:57.08
I play piano.
00:16:57.11\00:16:58.45
Piano, I played a
little piano. Okay.
00:16:58.48\00:17:01.05
I also dabble in a
piano. Okay, very good.
00:17:01.08\00:17:04.15
Well, I also
dabble in the piano.
00:17:04.19\00:17:06.76
I also conduct as
well from time to time so-
00:17:06.79\00:17:08.82
Excellent, excellent and you?
00:17:08.86\00:17:11.06
Piano and
percussion. Yeah, okay.
00:17:11.09\00:17:13.90
I'm right now I'm also in
guitar, acoustic and electric.
00:17:13.93\00:17:16.97
Guitar, great, great. Yeah.
00:17:17.00\00:17:18.60
So what are you guys majors?
What are you studying now?
00:17:18.63\00:17:22.07
Well, I'm doing a
Bachelor's of music
00:17:22.10\00:17:23.71
in composition
and recording arts.
00:17:23.74\00:17:25.97
And what do you want
to do after graduation?
00:17:26.01\00:17:28.78
It's funny
because I've actually been
00:17:28.81\00:17:31.75
steering the direction
of going to Law school so-
00:17:31.78\00:17:34.78
Okay, you, Sir.
00:17:34.82\00:17:37.39
I'm studying
Physical education um,
00:17:37.42\00:17:40.32
I've been playing piano
for like 14, 15 years now
00:17:40.36\00:17:42.72
so I'm trying to see if I
can after graduation you know,
00:17:42.76\00:17:46.29
do music on the side
but sill have my career
00:17:46.33\00:17:48.90
'cause I do love sports though.
00:17:48.93\00:17:50.77
What's your
favorite? I love basket ball.
00:17:50.80\00:17:53.30
Okay, what position?
00:17:53.34\00:17:55.34
Point guard, did a
little bit in High school.
00:17:55.37\00:17:58.91
Now everybody's laughing,
that's trying to tell me that
00:17:58.94\00:18:01.91
there's something
about your point guard.
00:18:01.94\00:18:03.78
Are you a good
point guard? Is that-
00:18:03.81\00:18:06.72
Don't touch the subject.
00:18:06.75\00:18:11.59
And you, Sir, what's your major?
00:18:11.62\00:18:14.49
I'm actually biology major
00:18:14.52\00:18:16.52
and I would
like to pursue career
00:18:16.56\00:18:18.69
in Dentistry when I'm done.
00:18:18.73\00:18:20.16
Excellent. Have
you chosen a school?
00:18:20.20\00:18:22.23
Um, I'm still
thinking. I'm still thinking.
00:18:22.26\00:18:24.50
Howard University in the list.
00:18:24.53\00:18:27.14
Something like that. Very good.
00:18:27.17\00:18:30.84
Well, I'm a music major
00:18:30.87\00:18:33.91
I think why music is so
hard to chose which one to do.
00:18:33.94\00:18:36.61
Actually I have three options.
00:18:36.64\00:18:37.98
My main, the one that I want
to do, I do want to conduct,
00:18:38.01\00:18:42.28
maybe a choir or
orchestra some day.
00:18:42.32\00:18:44.75
Second option, do the
music industry, you know,
00:18:44.79\00:18:48.29
sort of the business
side of things you know,
00:18:48.32\00:18:50.69
um, three, I'm
like Erin Manzole,
00:18:50.73\00:18:55.26
I want to go to Law school,
00:18:55.30\00:18:56.63
four, you know
just get rich somehow.
00:18:56.67\00:18:59.90
Get rich, get rich and you, Sir.
00:18:59.93\00:19:03.94
I'm a music major as well, uh,
majoring a music composition,
00:19:03.97\00:19:06.88
a recording artist,
um, I'm looking into
00:19:06.91\00:19:10.21
being a producer/songwriter.
00:19:10.25\00:19:13.21
I like the behind
the scenes type of thing.
00:19:13.25\00:19:15.35
And I'm also looking
into sound engineering.
00:19:15.38\00:19:18.55
I love that. Very good.
00:19:18.59\00:19:20.89
Now what are your,
when you leave Oakwood,
00:19:20.92\00:19:23.46
because Oakwood doesn't
have anything like that,
00:19:23.49\00:19:25.69
have you thought
about where you would go?
00:19:25.73\00:19:27.83
Um, me and St.
Luke were actually both
00:19:27.86\00:19:30.97
considering a McGill in Canada.
00:19:31.00\00:19:33.23
Oh, that's great.
00:19:33.27\00:19:34.60
In Toronto and I'm
also looking into Tennessee,
00:19:34.64\00:19:39.91
was in Tennessee though?
00:19:39.94\00:19:41.28
Middle
Tennessee. Middle Tennessee.
00:19:41.31\00:19:42.64
Mm, I know that's cool, that's
why I graduated from there.
00:19:42.68\00:19:46.15
That's why I asked you that.
00:19:46.18\00:19:47.95
I was leading
you into it actually.
00:19:47.98\00:19:51.82
Yes, and you in the back.
00:19:51.85\00:19:53.19
Well, my major is an
engineer in applied math
00:19:53.22\00:19:56.19
and I want to go
into aerospace engineering
00:19:56.22\00:19:58.26
but more specifically
aeronautical engineering.
00:19:58.29\00:20:00.50
I want to specialize in a
engineering jets, private jets
00:20:00.53\00:20:03.83
and ultimately I want to
have my line of private jets
00:20:03.87\00:20:06.23
and be a traveling musician.
00:20:06.27\00:20:07.60
Wow. Yeah.
00:20:07.64\00:20:09.57
This is like, this is so,
this is major asterations here
00:20:09.60\00:20:13.61
you know, and
they're so different.
00:20:13.64\00:20:15.04
I love that, I love that.
00:20:15.08\00:20:16.44
So I understand that all of you
00:20:16.48\00:20:18.11
didn't know each
other before Oakwood.
00:20:18.15\00:20:19.85
So how did you all come together
00:20:19.88\00:20:21.58
and decide to be a group.
00:20:21.62\00:20:24.12
I mean, whose [] was that?
00:20:24.15\00:20:26.96
Well, I mean, the four
us that went to Pine Forge
00:20:26.99\00:20:29.42
and we got to Oakwood,
Steven, St. Luke and Anton,
00:20:29.46\00:20:33.70
they you know, they
want to reform the group
00:20:33.73\00:20:35.70
so they came and they called
the three of us and they said,
00:20:35.73\00:20:38.17
"Hey let's make a group."
00:20:38.20\00:20:39.53
And we said, "Okay."
That was the end of that.
00:20:39.57\00:20:42.64
And it's been how long now?
00:20:42.67\00:20:44.54
About a year, if you add
everything together, a year.
00:20:44.57\00:20:47.24
Well, depends on
how're you counting it.
00:20:47.28\00:20:50.45
I like you in
the back, you know.
00:20:50.48\00:20:54.58
There seems to be
comradery between you.
00:20:54.62\00:20:58.85
I love that about male groups.
00:20:58.89\00:21:00.76
It seems to be
like a brotherhood
00:21:00.79\00:21:03.29
and I'm assuming that each
of you have each other's back.
00:21:03.32\00:21:08.16
Oh, yeah, definitely.
00:21:08.20\00:21:09.53
Now let's talk about
the spiritual aspect of it.
00:21:09.56\00:21:12.33
It being a brotherhood,
00:21:12.37\00:21:13.94
are you also
accountable to each other.
00:21:13.97\00:21:17.21
Do you know what I mean by that?
00:21:17.24\00:21:18.57
Yeah.
00:21:18.61\00:21:19.94
I just believe that
you should have somebody,
00:21:19.97\00:21:22.01
especially when you're traveling
00:21:22.04\00:21:24.01
and when you are in
you know, the public eye,
00:21:24.05\00:21:26.88
I believe you
should have some body
00:21:26.92\00:21:28.25
that you are accountable to,
00:21:28.28\00:21:29.62
somebody that
you're praying with,
00:21:29.65\00:21:30.99
somebody that um, ask
you all the tough questions,
00:21:31.02\00:21:34.32
you know, is that what
you guys do in the group.
00:21:34.36\00:21:38.43
Yeah. I will have to say yeah.
00:21:38.46\00:21:41.06
Well, I want to say between
I don't know, between me,
00:21:41.10\00:21:45.93
Steven and Anton
and Alan, you know,
00:21:45.97\00:21:48.80
we see each other a lot
00:21:48.84\00:21:50.57
and so we're
always with each other
00:21:50.61\00:21:52.31
and we do ask
those tough questions,
00:21:52.34\00:21:54.08
especially when it
comes to our boy Alan,
00:21:54.11\00:21:56.14
'cause you know, he's like
I could say like my brother
00:21:56.18\00:21:58.08
and he literally
these are my brothers.
00:21:58.11\00:21:59.45
Do you know what I'm saying?
00:21:59.48\00:22:00.82
Steve is our brother
joined at the [] and so on
00:22:00.85\00:22:03.65
and Eric and Erin
came along you know,
00:22:03.69\00:22:07.06
we said, you
know, let's bring them
00:22:07.09\00:22:08.42
to the brotherhood and
so it's the same thing.
00:22:08.46\00:22:10.53
We actually do
consider ourselves
00:22:10.56\00:22:11.89
as a family so to speak.
00:22:11.93\00:22:13.26
I love that.
00:22:13.29\00:22:14.63
And let me say one thing
about this group of guys,
00:22:14.66\00:22:17.43
we personally.
00:22:17.47\00:22:18.80
I've never had a
singing experience ever before
00:22:18.83\00:22:21.54
I came to Oakwood and
once I joined this group,
00:22:21.57\00:22:24.67
you know, they made a lot
more confident about myself,
00:22:24.71\00:22:27.11
a lot more just it felt right
and so once they accepted me,
00:22:27.14\00:22:33.01
you know, things were great.
00:22:33.05\00:22:34.85
And with that being
said, things are great
00:22:34.88\00:22:37.15
and I'm expecting
great things from this group.
00:22:37.19\00:22:40.16
I want you to
prepare your hearts
00:22:40.19\00:22:42.66
and prepare your minds
00:22:42.69\00:22:44.03
for the ministry
of Counter Point.
00:22:44.06\00:22:46.70
I know that you'll be blessed.
00:22:46.73\00:22:48.06
When the troubles
00:22:51.13\00:22:55.77
that get you down
00:22:55.80\00:22:59.34
Just remember that my Jesus
00:22:59.37\00:23:04.15
cares, oh, yes
00:23:04.18\00:23:07.08
But when the troubles
00:23:07.12\00:23:11.39
that get you down
00:23:11.42\00:23:14.79
Just remember Jesus cares.
00:23:14.82\00:23:22.60
I have decided
00:23:22.63\00:23:26.43
to follow Jesus
00:23:26.47\00:23:30.71
And cast my cares upon Him
00:23:30.74\00:23:37.01
I have decided
00:23:37.05\00:23:42.28
To give my all to Him
00:23:42.32\00:23:46.49
And let Him lead all the way
00:23:46.52\00:23:54.00
When the troubles
00:23:54.03\00:23:58.03
that get you down
00:23:58.07\00:24:01.94
Just remember that my Jesus
00:24:01.97\00:24:06.54
cares, oh, yes.
00:24:06.57\00:24:09.24
But don't let the troubles
00:24:09.28\00:24:13.82
get you down
00:24:13.85\00:24:17.52
Just remember...
00:24:17.55\00:24:20.72
...that Jesus cares
00:24:20.76\00:24:26.29
Just remember...
00:24:51.39\00:24:55.49
...Jesus cares
00:24:55.52\00:25:00.76
Our next selection would
be the hymn, Lord of Our Life.
00:25:12.97\00:25:16.54
We pray that you
make Jesus Christ,
00:25:16.58\00:25:18.08
the Lord of your life today.
00:25:18.11\00:25:23.28
Lord of our life
00:25:23.32\00:25:28.66
and God of salvation
00:25:28.69\00:25:35.50
Star of our night
00:25:35.53\00:25:40.97
and Hope of every nation
00:25:41.00\00:25:48.01
Hear and receive
00:25:48.04\00:25:53.05
Thy Church's supplication
00:25:53.08\00:25:59.75

help till faults are

00:26:34.72\00:26:40.40

that they may be forgiven
00:26:45.53\00:26:52.01
Grant peace on earth
00:26:52.04\00:26:56.95
And after we have striven
00:26:56.98\00:27:03.85

Amen
00:27:41.52\00:27:47.66
Magnify Him.
00:27:47.70\00:27:52.50

artists with the world.
