To understand this Christmas record, you have to understand our ministry. John Tesh
As a pastor in a Protestant church, my whole ministry centers on the conviction that by grace we are saved through faith.

We never want to go into a tour and play 15 songs and say ‘Enjoy.’ We have messages: Number 1, follow your dreams. If I can do it, you can do it. Number 2, give your life to something. We say, ‘Volunteer and add seven years to your life.’ You can have your own personal ministry. The message we have is ‘What do you stand for?’ John Tesh
