Celebrating Faith and Resilience: Debra Perry and Jaidyn’s Call’s New Song “The Sound Of His Voice”

Debra Perry-Reed, known as the original soprano of the beloved Southern Gospel group The Perrys, has spent years touching hearts with her music. Today, she leads her own group, Debra Perry and Jaidyn’s Call, named in honor of her son Jaidyn, whose life has been a powerful testimony of faith, hope, and the enduring love of God.

Jaidyn was born with a rare condition called Hydranencephaly, a diagnosis that left doctors with little hope for his survival beyond his first year. But in a miraculous journey that defied all odds, Jaidyn recently celebrated his 18th birthday—a milestone that speaks volumes about the power of prayer and the strength of his family’s faith.

The purpose of Jaidyn’s Call is not only to share their music but also to share their testimony of God’s grace through the challenges they’ve faced with Jaidyn and their daughter Ashley. Each performance is a testament to the miracles they’ve witnessed and the unwavering belief that God is with them every step of the way.

Debra Perry and Jaidyn’s Call’s latest song, “The Sound Of His Voice,” is a beautiful reflection of this faith. In Debra’s words, “This is a Bible song. It talks about how the Lord put the world into existence, how his voice turned the darkness to light.” The lyrics resonate deeply with the group’s mission, reminding listeners of the power and authority of God’s voice in every aspect of life.

“His words prevailed, but they never failed to show us his power and mind,” Debra continues, capturing the essence of the song. “The seas roll apart at his bidding, and the mountains move as he demands. He can whisper or shout, but without a doubt, the whole world is at his command.”

This week, as Jaidyn was admitted to the hospital for a virus, the message of this song becomes even more poignant. It serves as a reminder that even in the most challenging moments, the sound of God’s voice is a constant source of comfort and strength. For Debra, Christopher, and their family, it’s a song that reflects their journey—a journey marked by divine intervention, perseverance, and an unwavering trust in the Lord.

“The Sound Of His Voice” is more than just a song for Debra Perry and Jaidyn’s Call; it is a declaration of faith that continues to inspire and uplift everyone who hears it. As they share their music and their testimony, they remind us all of the power of God’s voice in our lives, guiding us through the darkest valleys and leading us into the light.

The Taylors, a beloved brother-sister trio from North Carolina, are celebrating their 13th year of singing Southern Gospel with the release of their newest song, “He Is Good to Me.” The group, consisting of siblings who grew up in Fellowship Church where their father has been a Southern Baptist minister for nearly 33 years, continues to inspire with their heartfelt music.

Chris Taylor, who sings baritone vocals for The Taylors, shared his thoughts on the new song, emphasizing its uplifting nature. “This is a really, really encouraging song to me. It’s a little peppy, a little upbeat. Like the lyrics say, God is so good. He’s good to us,” Chris explained.

He went on to describe how the song resonates with listeners in various life situations. “Even in the mountaintops, even in the seasons of our life where we’re in the valley, when we go through something praiseworthy, when we go through something that we’re sorrowful over, such as the tragedies that have struck gospel music as of late, the song is such an encouraging reminder that God is on the throne, God is still sovereign, he’s good,” Chris said.

The Taylors’ music has always been a source of comfort and inspiration, and “He Is Good to Me” is no exception. Chris highlighted the song’s message of hope and faith, stating, “Ultimately he uses everything we face in life, everything we deal with. He can turn it for our good and for his glory.”

As The Taylors continue their journey in Southern Gospel music, their latest song stands as a testament to their unwavering faith and dedication to spreading positivity through their music. “He Is Good to Me” is sure to uplift and encourage all who listen, reminding them of the enduring goodness and sovereignty of God.

Jake Anglin recently marked a significant milestone—three years as a member of Brian Free and Assurance. For Jake, who grew up in Watkinsville, GA, this journey has been both a blessing and a dream come true. Having started singing at the age of 16, Jake has spent the majority of his life immersed in music, but joining Brian Free and Assurance brought new meaning to his career.

Reflecting on his time with the group, Jake shares, “I can’t remember, like, what was life like before this? But at the same time, it feels like it’s just flown by for me.” His deep connection with the group’s music goes back to his teenage years. “The Live in New York City album was the first album I ever got. I just enjoyed following the ministry and all of that through my adult years.”

Before joining Brian Free and Assurance, Jake served as a worship pastor, ministering in various churches over the years. “I’ve been in the ministry in some capacity since I was 18, but always followed their music. Always kind of just kept up with it and stuff,” he recalls. His journey with the group feels like the fulfillment of a long-held dream. “It was just one of those God things. He opened the door, and here we are.”

For Jake, the past three years have been a testament to faith and timing. As he continues to share his talents with Brian Free and Assurance, his story serves as an inspiration to others who are pursuing their own God-given paths. “It’s a blessing, man. It’s really cool,” Jake concludes, capturing the joy and gratitude that define his experience with the group.

Karen Peck Gooch has become a remarkable figure in Southern Gospel Music, with a career that spans decades of dedication, talent, and passion. As a six-time Grammy-nominated artist and winner of nine GMA Dove Awards, Karen’s influence on the genre is undeniable. Her journey into songwriting, which has added another dimension to her illustrious career, is a story of discovery and growth.

Karen, who currently leads Karen Peck & New River—a group she formed in 1991—recalls how she initially hesitated to pursue songwriting seriously. “When we joined the Daywin label, Rick Shelton said, why don’t you drive to Nashville and sit in a writer’s room with some great writers? I didn’t do it for a long time just because I’m a tune person and an idea person,” Karen explains. Despite her initial reluctance, she eventually took that leap, and it opened up new possibilities for her.

“I thought, well, I don’t want to waste anybody’s time,” she admits. But as she started working in the studio, she realized, “Hey, maybe I do have something more than just a tune and an idea.” This revelation marked a turning point in her career, fueling her confidence and helping her to craft songs that resonate deeply with her audience. “I do know when the song comes together, that’s what I want to say. It has been such an incredible, incredible experience for me.”

Karen’s songwriting has culminated in the release of “Be Ready!,” the latest single from Karen Peck & New River, which she co-wrote with renowned writers Wayne Haun and Joel Lindsey. The song is a testament to her growth as a songwriter and her unwavering commitment to her craft.

Outside of her musical accomplishments, Karen is also a devoted wife, married to Rickey Gooch. Her personal and professional lives are a testament to her faith, perseverance, and the joy she finds in sharing her message through song. As Karen continues to make her mark on Southern Gospel Music, her legacy as both a performer and a songwriter only grows stronger, inspiring countless others along the way.
