- I'm doing very well.

Hello, hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello, well, tell me where you guys are from.

- Well, I'm from right up the road in Cleveland, Alabama.

- Okay, Cleveland.

Not Cleveland, Ohio but Cleveland, Alabama.

You didn't give your name.

You didn't give me your name.

- Steven.

- Okay, you may have.

I might have forgotten it right quick.

All right, now you've been together how long?

- Five years.

- Five years.

And whose great idea was this?

- It was actually me and my sister.

We used to sing together.

- Okay.

- And she started...

When we rehearsed a piano player.

And she came to the group.

And when she started singing, we were like I thought about you yesterday.

I'm old fashioned.

She used to play the piano.

And we call our pastor of Pine Bluff down here.

He named our group, Family of Faith.

- Family of Faith.

Great name.

Great name.

So you guys have been traveling all over?

- Yes, we travel.

- All right.

- And we haven't been singing now in Pinson.

- Okay.

All right.

Well, we don't want the people to go down there tonight in Pinson because there's gonna be a few days before this is aired.

So we don't want those people going down there looking for you and you not there.

- That's it.

- You understand?

Maybe I should let that stay and then I just go while you won't be there and then I can be singing and tell them, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have no idea what happened to Family of Faith.

They're not here.

I haven't heard from them.

But in their place is Brother George."

And by the time they get through throwing rocks, I'm gonna come get you.

Well, we wish you the...

Anybody not wanna do that.

All right, well I'm gonna leave that alone 'cause I got my brother over there.

So, we had to team up on you.

All right.

Well, listen.

Thank you for coming to be at Alabama Gospel Roots.

And we just wish you well and your ministry because we need more wonderful, sincere people like you, okay?

All right.

Well, I'm gonna get out of the way 'cause I wanna hear you sing.

You gonna sing?

- We're gonna sing.

- If you don't sing, you won't eat tonight.

All right, Alabama Gospel Roots, Family of Faith.

Let's welcome them again.

And we are filming, recording right here in Locust Fork, Alabama.

And a beautiful church, beautiful people.

And I've got the pastor, A Home for the Lost, Pastor Chip Belcher.

How are you?

Get the mic up just a little.

You know how to use that mic though?

- Yes, sir.

I can use this thing.

- All right, how are you, sir?

- Man, I'm blessed.

Highly favored.

Above only and not beneath.

- Oh, look out now.

Don't make me run.

- Well, come on.

We Pentecostal of this.

- I feel it, yeah.

Hey, I felt it when I drove up.

Pastor, thank you for allowing us to come and film Alabama Gospel Roots from here.

- It's an honor to be able to house this thing and be a part of it to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

- That's what I'm talking about.

And somewhere along the way, you were told, I could hear it, that this wonderful place here is gonna be just published throughout the world and we are part of that journey.

- Amen.

- Amen.

How long have you been pastor here?

- In this building, two years.

We've been a church organized together for six.

- Okay, I understand there was another church right out front.

- Yes, sir.

The old Locust Fork Church of God.

They had some water damage and issues in there and they had to tear the building.

And because of them and the old timers and the road that they paved, we were able to be a part of this and come into this building and have what we have.

- That is awesome.

I just feel like coming back sometime even when the show is not going on.

Would that be all right?

- Praise God together.

- Oh, that's what I'm talking about.

Now tell me as we get ready to close this out, your concept of what the church should be, the model that we get the message out.

Tell me how it should interact with the people, particularly in this season.

- Well, I'll tell you, people need a family.

And the New Testament Church, when they came together, they came together daily.

They met together daily.

The Bible says that nothing was their own.

They gave to each other.

They shared with each other.

They were loyal to one another.

They spread the gospel.

They did the great commission call.

And I believe we are the generation that's gonna close up this great commission call that Jesus has commissioned us all to do.

To go into all the world to make disciples of people, to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, to speak another tongues, cast out devils, and lay hands on the sick and see them recover.

So when we're here, we're a family.

We believe in family.

And so we try our very best to have the goal that Jesus set in for us to be a family and to be a true New Testament Church.

- Amen.

Well, you know what?

People probably saw me looking around.

I was looking for a chair.

I was gonna go sit down and just let you have it all.

- Hey, you don't give a pastor a microphone.

I go to preaching anything.

- You did an excellent job.

Now, tell me the last thing.

How did you come upon the name of the church?

- Home for the Lost, the Lord named the church.

- A Home for the Lost.

- And that's what the Lord spoke.

We are home for the lost.

- Well, that's the most unique name I've found since I've been going around.

Pastor Chip Belcher, thank you so much.

- Thank you.

- For being with us and allowing us again to come.

And we are gonna hear some more great gospel music if that's all right with you.

Well, I'm gonna let you say, let's hear some more great gospel music.

- Let's hear some more great gospel music.

(instrumental music playing) (New Reason singing) (Aaron singing) (New Reason singing) (Aaron singing) (New Reason singing) (New Reason singing) - It's Alabama Gospel Roots.

And I tell you what, we have had a great show so far, but it's getting even gooder and gooder.

You don't know anything about good and gooder, do you?

- I do know a lot about gooder.

- All right.

- New Reason, how are you?

- Doing well.

How about you, Brother George?

- Well, I'm doing very well.

It's good to see you again.

All right, and I tell you what, somebody's been shopping.

Look at that man.

He's looking great.

So tell me what's been going on since we saw you last?

- Traveling all over.

Singing all over.

Got four kids, all of them in sports, and we're trying to do that and stay on the road all the time.

- It's called multitasking.

- It's called getting old real quick.

- Great.

Get the mic up for me a little bit.

And how have you been, my dear?

- I've been good.

Been busy.

- Busy?

- Yeah.

- All right.

- Meeting people a lot.

- Well, it looks like you're doing an excellent job.

- Thank you.

- Okay.

Now tell me where you guys are from again?

- We're from Randburne, Alabama from Cleveland County.

- All right.

And what church are you a member of there?

- We are currently housed out of Mending Point Church.

- Okay, great.

Now introduce yourself and everybody else.

- Well, I'm Jamie Daniel.

I'm the dad of this bunch.

Except for her.

That's my beautiful wife, Ms. Brittany Daniel.

And that's our 16-year-old son, baseball-playing, good looking, great singing.

It makes me sick.

- Cost you a lot of money.

- Cost a lot to eat.

- That's Aaron Daniel.

- All right.

- We are proud of him.

He's actually got three siblings around here somewhere that travel everywhere we go with us.

- That's beautiful.

- Caleb is 14.

And he runs the sound for us when we're on the road.

Ren is nine years old and Maggie will be six years in just a few days.

- Wow.

- So we are wide open.

- Time flies.

- And we do everything together, Brother George.

We do everything together.

If one of us goes to the store, we all go to the store.

- That's awesome.

- I mean, we do everything.

One night we were at a singing and the lady come up to Brittany and said, "Is he telling the truth about that?"

And she said, "Yes, he is."

- So that looks like you planned that that way.

- Yes, sir.

The lady said, "Why?"

She said, "Look at him.

Would you wanna have to kiss him by?"

So I thought it was going to be something real spiritual.

- Well, it was real spiritual.

Did you get it?

Well, listen.

We are so thankful to have you guys here at Alabama Gospel Roots and we just appreciate you being partnered with us to sing that good gospel music like you're singing.

All right.

Well, listen.

We are going to get ready to hear some more great gospel music from you.

Did you bring another one with you?

- I think we might have one more in back.

- All right, I want this one to be uptempo now.

- Sounds good.

- All right.

Well, once again on Alabama Gospel Roots, you know it.

It's New Reason.

(upbeat music) (New Reason singing) (instrumental music playing) (New Reason singing) - Well, I tell you when you're having a great time, time just flies and it has flown right by.

Wow, the visit has been so short, it looks like.

- It has.

That means you'll have to come back.

We look forward to it.

When I saw you coming in today, I said, "Wow, my friends are back."

And I got to let you say something.

Get that mic up right quick.

How's it feel growing up with a beautiful family singing all over the place.

- I love it.

It's busy like they said.

I love to do it.

It's what the Lord called me to do and I'm gonna do it till the Lord tells me not to.

- I hear you, man.

He going to do a little... Is he preaching yet?

- Not yet.

- Okay, all right.

Well, next time he come back we're gonna see how he's progressing, right?

All right.

Well, I tell you what, right here at Home for the Lost, I tell you what, we thank you for watching.

You make us who we are.

We wanna thank Pastor Chip Belcher for allowing us to come and the whole congregation.

Now it's time to get out 'cause I wanna save some time for you to do one more song.

One more, okay?

You know how we close this thing out.

You've been here.

Say it with me.

Get the mics up and say this with me.

And to everybody out there, have a great week.

Treat people like you wanna be treated.

Smile when you see them.

And guess what?

I guarantee you they'll smile back.

Are y'all ready?

- Yes, sir.

- Okay, we're going to sing this out.

I'm just kidding.

All right, we are all sisters and brothers.

- [New Reason] We are all sisters and brothers.

- Wait a minute now.

Somebody about to get fired up here.

All right, on three get ready now.

Are you ready?

- Yes.

- Okay.

All right, you ready?

- Yes, sir.

- All right, we are all sisters and brothers.

- [New Reason] We are all sisters and brothers.

- That's still a little slow now.

What's going on?

You're tired.

Okay, well, let's take a deep breath.

All right, I've been having problems getting people to say this.

Have y'all had a meeting to say, "Every time we go and Brother George say that, we gonna throw him out."

All right, let's go like it's a song.

You got to come in on the same beat.

We're all sisters and brothers.

- [New Reason] We are all sisters and brothers.

- There's only one color.

- [New Reason] There's only one color.

- And that's the color of love.

- [New Reason] And that's the color of love.

- All right, everybody.

We love you.

We appreciate you.

Have a great week.

Be well.

Once again, New Reason.
