My goodness. Praise God for you all. If you guys only knew the impact you all had on me in my early Christian walk. It's April 2024 and just today i was recommending your songs to one of my coworkers who got saved recently. I love you all my brothers in the Lord. THANK YOU
Mark, Marty, Andy and Kirk are the best. Such a blessing in my life, and I know many other's lives as well. Saw them in concert a couple of times. Met them once and had my picture taken with each of them. I am still a huge fan 30 plus years later. I don't have one favorite song because I LOVE them all. God bless you all. So glad to see Mark's daughter following in her dad's footsteps. Love their distinctive voices.
I listened to the audio, loved it, didn't know there is a video. Now I am going to watch it all over again!! I always looked forward to the next 4Him release. Love the story behind the group and songs. This should be a series, there is a lot more from these guys.
You guys have changed my life. When I was a child my Father listened to the music that God has blessed you all with , and it’s blessed my soul. For the last 6 years I’ve been contemplating covering some of your music myself because I find myself singing the songs everyday, but most importantly they are so Christ centered and they remind me of what music is truly about. Now at 31, and newly married for 3 months I find myself still being blessed by songs from you that I’ve never heard before. I pray that God continues to bless you 4 guys and your families for the rest of your lives 👊🏽😇
Man, what a great run you all had! Loved Truth too. Miss both groups! No filler on any of your cds. Still listen to your music today. Saw you all live many times back in the day!
Time wait for no one! Brasil, Igreja adventista da Penha os ama! Vcs são parte da vida de 70 jovens. Hoje todos pais e mães criados na graça de Cristo por causa das suas mensagens! Nos veremos no céu, absoluta certeza. Kirk, amado, te encontrarei no céu com Cristo. Amo vc!
My friends and I saw you with Truth and then 4Him many times while we were in college. We were blessed! Sure would love to see you all again. God bless.
I played The Ride for my 3 year old grandson a couple weeks ago. Now he wants to listen to it when he is at my house. He was in his swing today singing it. 🤗
Just last week I pulled up Obvious & The Message and listend to them. Once in awhile I'll pull up the Truth 25th Anniversary live album and listen to it. I never got to see Truth live, but did get to see 4Him a couple of times. I wish I'd have been able to be a oart of something so amazing!
Wow I remember Truth when they visited our church Cathedral of Praise in Manila and did an evangelistic crusades in the 80’s. Holy of holies was my favourite.
love yall, ya songs make me cry, ya harmonies inspire me i cant tell ya how many 4him concerts my momma dragged me to, front row every time lol the best
I met you guys in 1991 and was also performing in Christian Music. I was traveling across the country performing for love offerings mostly and trying to get some radio airplay. I had also started a small record label in Atlanta called Dogwood Music. We started signing a few artists and grew to about 10 acts on our label. I think it was in 1993 and my group, Heaven's Reign, competed at the Music in the Rockies festival at Estes Park. We came in 21st and didn't make the Top 20 cutoff. I was really sad. I went into one of the buildings near the big concert barn and sat at a piano playing some of my tunes. In walks Michael Card and he asks me about what I was playing. Turned out we were both staying at the nice lodge and a number of other artists were staying there as well. We went back to the lodge and started playing Christian Poker in the lobby until 3am and it was an incredible experience. I then went to a seminar the next day taught by you guys about the music industry. Having listened to your debut album a million times, I think I realized that I was not meant to be a touring artist. I asked you guys what someone should do if they were just not good enough to make a living in Christian Music. You asked if I had any other interests and I said I did. You then said, perform in your local churches but maybe make a living doing something else. I sold the label, sold our recording studio, sold our tour trucks and equipment...and I started a computer company. That company, as well as several other tech firms I started, went public and grew to be worldwide businesses. Your advice was spot on and at the right time. I still have my grand piano, my guitars, my drums and my trumpets and I periodically get asked to sing at church. Thanks to your brilliance in ministry and music, I was led in a new direction and my wife of 40 years and I provide support to a lot of ministries all over the world. Today, we reach millions of people through those ministries and our lives are richly blessed. You are truly one of my favorite groups of all time and I listen to your music weekly. I got to see you maybe 20 times when you were touring. You can't imagine how many times I wanted to run up on stage and sing with you. I told my wife often that 5Him was also a great name for a boy band. She assured me you were doing just fine without my help. Thanks again for your ministry. You truly changed my life.
Wow!! Thanks for sharing that Kurt! I’m constantly in awe of all God does through simple interactions and moments of encouragement. I’m honored to have played a role in your journey
Grreat interview. First heard yall in South Carolina when i was in the USAF. A friend invited me to go hear this new group at Columbia Bible College i believe....was an instant fan. I play your music 🎶 regularly. Thank you.
Hello Andy, thanks for sharing this. My family and I have been so blessed by the ministry of 4him! I remember watching 4him for the first time when I was about 12 years on a Christian TV program called 'LIVE from studio B.' From that day onwards I eagerly searched and listened to many of the songs. I also bought the sheet music and the DVD 'Encore for future generations.' Being a musician myself I have learnt many chords, melodies and harmonies from the songs that still inspire me to this day. The voices, creativity and arrangements are so beautiful and unforgettable! God bless you Andy, Mark, Kirk and Marty. May you all continue serving the Lord Jesus in the direction that He leads. Blessings to all of you all the way from the Island of Sri Lanka! - Shamma
Love you brothers. I've been listening to your music since (if I can speak this way) I was in my mother's womb as your music was constantly played and sung by my parents. I can still hear my mother singing The Measure of a Man and explaining the lyrics to me. God used your music powerfully in my life to bring me to faith in Jesus Christ. UA-cam comments cannot do this any amount of justice, but I *needed* to let you know at least this.
Hey Andy, Enjoyed seeing you guys around the table! I saw you guys in Indiana when you were still with Truth. There is still no one to this day that had what you guys had. Always hoped you and the Point of Grace ladies would record something together. After I watched this video, the next day, had to listen to the "Best Ones" recording. I had not listened to it in a long time. I kept thinking..."I miss real CCM and I forgot how good these guys were!"
Thank you for sharing this! I'm a HUGE 4HIM fan. So great to hear the stories and see you guys sharing memories. My wife and I will celebrate 35 years in May 2024. When our second daughter was very young (she was born in 2001), I would play "I Know You Now" and dance with her. My wife and I still think of that to this day when we hear that song. Our youngest will turn 23 years old this June. God bless you all ... and thank you for sharing your gift of worshiping God through music.
The Ride was one of my first CD's. I bought it through BMG or Columbia House in 1995. You were one of the few bands that I JUST HAD TO buy every CD of.
1st concert I ever attended was you all and Michael English and Angelo and Veronica in Chattanooga, TN. You were promoting Basics of Life. What a phenomenal concert! I was on the 3rd row center.
This is a Fantastic video of insight. Unbelievable to hear that y’all didn’t like “Where there is faith”. The insight that you share about the formation of the group is very interesting. I will add that it is so entertaining to see you four together reminiscing about your growth together. Brothers, know you are loved because you praise our creator. (I am getting ready to watch part 2)…
Oh but every song you guys sang was amazing. Gods blessing was defenitly over you. You guys blessed my life so so much. Good to see you guys are doing good. can we get a reunion concert.
I have been forever changed by the blessing of you ministry...This morning the Lord put the song "Why" on my heart, and He never Changes.. I learned how to sing listening to you guys as well... so thankful to God for you...
I found Church on the Move (Pastor Willie George ♥️), online, probably 10 years ago or more, by looking into what you guys were all up to at the time. Been a huge fan of Pastor’s teaching since, and now follow his podcast.
That other stop before Sarasota, could’ve been Chipley Fl? We saw you there right after y’all started. Chipley is a smaller town and it was in their ag center lol

I really miss you guys.I love your music
One of the best contemporary christian artists of the 90s. Still listen to the Ride album every day
I live in the UK though so never seen them live 😢
