Babbie Mason: 我从小在教会长大，父亲是牧师，从小就唱歌。青少年时期曾渴望成为莫城歌手，但最终在大学食堂喝汤时，感受到圣灵的强烈指引，彻底地将自己的生命、音乐和梦想献给上帝。此后，我从事全职事工已经40年，并写了一本书《Each One Reach One》，讲述了我如何努力成为更好的见证者，照亮上帝的光芒。在Piggly Wiggly超市唱歌的经历让我明白，仁慈是一种超能力，是满足他人需求而不求回报，将耶稣的爱和心扩展给他人。分享爱与光的方式是友善待人，体察他人需求，倾听他们的故事，并在他们敞开心扉的关键时刻给予他们耶稣。我也通过举办研讨会来指导年轻的音乐家，希望能够充分利用上帝赋予我的天赋和才能。 Wayne Shepherd: 本期节目采访了Babbie Mason，一位屡获殊荣的基督教歌手、词曲作者、作家、会议演讲者和电视节目主持人。她分享了她从小在教会长大，父亲是牧师，从小就唱歌的经历，以及她青少年时期曾渴望成为莫城歌手，但最终将自己的生命完全献给了上帝的故事。她从事全职事工已经40年，并通过音乐和写作等方式分享她的信仰和见证。她强调了仁慈的重要性，以及在生活中实践信仰的重要性。
