Summary: The combination of Jason Gray's onstage humor, self-disclosure, and genuine compassion, coupled with his technical artistry, has proved to have a highly magnetic effect. But his underlying secret lies in the fact that it's not a calculated act drummed up for the stage. The integrity and openness that transform his performances into something like large, personal conversations are really the logical outgrowth of his desire to live all of life under the jurisdiction of a gracious God. The gospel, the relationships, the art, and the acts of service are all part of an inseparable whole that communicates God's heart to the world. While his relationship with Centricity Music has broadened his audience, it isn't likely to alter his core message any. Gray seems to have set up a more-or-less permanent base camp somewhere between Christ's Sermon on the Mount and Paul's statement about boasting in our weaknesses. "I'm afraid most of us would prefer to be strong and impressive over being the kind of person that Jesus calls blessed." Jason offers in summation: "But for those of us who don't have it in us to be impressive or strong, who couldn't get our act together if our lives depended on it, the good news is that there is a preferred place as honored guest in God's Kingdom for us—that's what the beatitudes tell us—and that by his love, all the outsiders and losers are being made beautiful." Jason’s new CD, A Way to See in the Dark already has breached our radio stations with the song Remind Me Who I Am. Learn more about Jason and all he has going on at www.jasongraymusic.com.
