Chrisagis Brothers present Legends concert with Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb and Angela Primm

The Chrisagis Brothers are chameleons in the world of Christian music. Known as the twins of pop/rock gospel, Brian and Shawn say they are growing up and so is their music, as they enjoy the release of their most recent CD. The Southern gospel flavor of the “Color of Love” is a great accompaniment to their newest event in their Legends concert series.

Chrisagis Brothers

On Saturday, Nov. 2, at 6:30 p.m., in Wheeling, West Virginia, the Chrisagis Brothers will be doing a special Legacy concert with three of the world’s most loved Southern gospel singers. Gaither Homecoming artists, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb and Angela Primm, will present a Thanksgiving message of music, along with Christmas songs, and gospel favorites.

Gaither Vocal Band: Adam Crabb, Wes Hampton in center

This festive celebration will be held at Vance Memorial Church, 905 National Road, in Wheeling, West Virginia, 26003.

Angela Primm

Brian and Shawn Chrisagis are always paving new territories in ministry. The brothers have been going strong for over 36 years in ministry life, beginning as youth pastors. Then they developed Good News Network, a unique television series for children, which ran three years and syndicated on SkyAngel and other channels.

From there, they developed a reputation as ministers to Hollywood, bringing many celebrities to know this Jesus they serve, as well as becoming personal assistants to several of the stars. They produced children’s books, a toy line, and have also released 10 CDs of their own music. 

The Brothers have won many awards for their music ministry and television series. On top of all this, they’ve had radio shows, interviewed friends from both Hollywood and Christian music, performed all over the world and created their own brand. 

Through everything, the Chrisagis Brother’s message stays the same, that Jesus loves everyone and died for all to be saved. Solid teachings are presented in every Chrisagis concert, and these two never do a concert without a prayer or altar call.

Next year, the Brothers are working on a Legends of Hollywood event and other projects. To keep up to date with these movers and shakers for God’s kingdom, click HERE

Christmas Wacky Wednesday from SGNScoops

It’s Christmastime here on SGNScoops and we have a brand new Christmas edition of Wacky Wednesday just for you. This time, our question was: What is your favorite Christmas song and why? Let’s shake our Gospel music snowglobe and see what answers the artists have for us.

Thanks again to our special Social Media girl, Jantina de Haan, for securing these responses for us. We hope you enjoy it. Merry Christmas!

Mark Byrd: “Mary Did You Know.” I love the way this song has such a sweet flow but tells a story of a mighty King and Savior.

Eric Bennett: “Hope Has Hands” © Phill Cross; I love the way he describes baby Jesus. Hope has Hands, Freedom has Feet; Truth will stand, The Word will speak. The Holy and Lovely will finally embrace. For Love has a Heartbeat and Grace has a Face…”

Adam Crabb: “O Holy Night,” because it talks about the birth of our Savior and to me, this song is the true spirit of Christmas.

Jaquita Lindsey: “Do You Hear What I Hear.” I remember trying to learn it on the piano, which I never learned to play the piano 🙂 I don’t have a particular reason for liking it. Just because.

Greg Sullivan: “There’s a New Kid In Town.” I like this song because not many people in Bethlehem knew that Jesus had been born and it focuses on how God became man in form of a child. This child would be the Savior of the world.

Randa Jordan: “White Christmas.” I loved the movie as a little girl, loved Bing Crosby, and it stayed with me all these years. It brings to me the happiest of memories.

Arthur Rice: “I’ll Be Home For Christmas.” The song came out in 1943 during WW2 and it was written from a soldier’s perspective of wanting to be home

Gaither Homecoming

with their families for Christmas, even though the last line reveals it wouldn’t be a reality.
The song always reminds me of the reality that so many of our men and women won’t be home for Christmas. And how appreciative we should be for the sacrifice of them and their families, and we pray for their safe and speedy

return home.

Mark Bishop: Wow.. that’s a tough one. It’s hard to narrow it down to one song. For the simplicity of the beautiful message and the melody, it’s hard to beat “Silent Night.” It exemplifies what we should be focusing on at Christmas time, over shopping and gifts. It always makes me a little melancholy, too. Likewise, with “Oh Holy Night.” My sleeper choice would have to be “The Little Drummer Boy.” I love the story that it tells and that we don’t need to bring great gifts to Jesus like the three wise men, we only need to give Him the talents that He gave us. But the greatest Christmas gift of all is to give back to God what He gave us, to begin with.

Matt Fouch: I have a funny one…’You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.” I love the original cut on this song and it fits the bass range just perfectly. People always smile when they hear you sing it, It’s a lot of fun.

Autumn Clark of the Nelons

Autumn Clark: “The Christmas song.” Because it is so beautiful and the story it tells.

Scott Peek (DJ of KNMG Radio): “We Are The Reason.” The message can be no clearer. He came to earth as a baby for us. All 33 years of His life were about us His willingness to die on the cross was about us. And it all started that first Christmas morning…”WE ARE THE REASON!”

Harley Madden: “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” I think maybe my favorite song for Christmas. And the reason I say that is, back in 1985 my sister passed, and I miss her everyday. But now I think about it, she made my mom a promise for Christmas that year. And that was: She would be home for Christmas. Even though we may not have got our wish for her to be at her earthly home for Christmas, she was made new in her Heavenly home. Sitting at the feet of Jesus. I can’t wait to get to Heaven, to be able to see her again and give her a big hug.

Bill Gaither is still Giving the World a Smile

Bill Gaither and the Gaither Vocal Band

Bill Gaither is having more fun than ever as the Gaither Vocal Band embraces change, releases “We Have This Moment” 

By Craig Harris

Bill Gaither seems to be loosening the reigns … and at the same time, he’s smelling the roses. The 81-year-old gospel music icon admits that he’s currently having more fun than he’s ever had.

“I’m having the most fun I’ve ever had in my whole life, not only on stage, but coming home and eating with the sweet lady (his wife Gloria) I’ve lived with for more than 54 years,” Gaither shares. “I’m singing with some of the greatest guys I’ve ever sung with. I love life.

“I encourage young artists all the time … I say, ‘if the lights shine brighter on stage than they do at home, you’re in bad trouble’ … but these are great days.”

Oct. 13 was one of those days as the Gaither Vocal Band unveiled its latest CD, “We Have This Moment.” Former Gaither Homecoming Tour pianist Gordon Mote produced the project.

Gaither Vocal Band

“We had another change in personnel last spring with Reggie Smith (joining the group after the departure of tenor David Phelps), who is no stranger to our field,” Gaither points out. “He’s been around a long time with us. I’ve said this 100 times … you don’t replace anybody. We’ve had some of the best singers in our industry I feel … Marshall Hall, David Phelps, Michael English, Russ Taff, Mark Lowry, Larnelle Harris … those are incredible singers. But this is one of the best blends we’ve ever had.

The Chrisagis Brothers are then headed to Branson, Miss., to perform on the Jim Bakker show, and for some meetings to bring their award-nominated “Legends Concerts” to a theater in Missouri. As you can see, the Brothers are busy until the new year. In 2018, the Chrisagis Brothers are in charge of a Women’s Conference called “All that Glitters,” for actress Jennifer

O’Neill, who the Brothers have known and worked with for the last 27 years. The Conference will feature Angela Primm and Nancy Stafford from Matlock tv series fame. Plus, they will be going to the Holy Land in April for a 10-day ministry tour.

Bonnie Keen

The concerts overseas will be televised and will be a powerful witnessing tool for the Jewish nation. Legendary CCM artists will join them, like Paul Clark, and Chuck Girard from Love Song.
