  • I'm not gonna sing for a living.

  • God diverted me and took me on this journey, this path,
  • 00:13:52.821 --> 00:13:56.158

  • 00:17:56.598 --> 00:17:58.367
  • - hey, thanks for having me.
  • 00:17:58.367 --> 00:17:59.835
  • I was so excited to get to sing on the new vocal band video.
  • 00:17:59.835 --> 00:18:03.805
  • And it's funny.
  • 00:18:03.805 --> 00:18:06.141
  • Last year, we did a homecoming taping in nashville.
  • 00:18:06.141 --> 00:18:11.446
  • And i thought, man, you know,
  • 00:18:11.446 --> 00:18:12.915
  • I've never sang one of my songs.
  • 00:18:12.915 --> 00:18:14.950
  • We've done a lot of dates together,
  • 00:18:14.950 --> 00:18:17.152
  • But i've never done one of my songs on a video.
  • 00:18:17.152 --> 00:18:19.021
  • And then sure enough, you called and said,
  • 00:18:19.021 --> 00:18:21.857
  • You want to do "the basement"?
  • 00:18:21.857 --> 00:18:23.358
  • I said, let's do it.
  • 00:18:23.358 --> 00:18:25.027
  • So thanks for having me. it's an honor.
  • 00:18:25.027 --> 00:18:27.329
  • - joseph, i'm always a johnny-come-lately.
  • 00:18:27.329 --> 00:18:30.465
  • But you'd been singing a few years
  • 00:18:30.465 --> 00:18:31.934
  • Before i ever saw you, right?
  • 00:18:31.934 --> 00:18:33.835
  • - yeah, 23 years this year.
  • 00:18:33.835 --> 00:18:35.938
  • I'll be 40 this year.
  • 00:18:35.938 --> 00:18:37.539
  • And i started when i was 17.
  • 00:18:37.539 --> 00:18:40.075
  • I can't believe the perrys hired me when i was 17.
  • 00:18:40.075 --> 00:18:42.778
  • I mean, have you ever hired anybody that young?
  • 00:18:42.778 --> 00:18:45.214
  • - i don't think so. - yeah.
  • 00:18:45.214 --> 00:18:46.815
  • - i don't think so.
  • 00:18:46.815 --> 00:18:47.816
  • - it's a pretty big risk.
  • 00:18:47.816 --> 00:18:48.917
  • But i told my mom, i said,
  • 00:18:48.917 --> 00:18:51.019
  • If i can get a job singing at the quartet convention,
  • 00:18:51.019 --> 00:18:54.556
  • Can i take my ged?
  • 00:18:54.556 --> 00:18:56.725
  • And she didn't think anybody would hire me.
  • 00:18:56.725 --> 00:18:58.393
  • I mean, i was 17.
  • 00:18:58.393 --> 00:18:59.828
  • And sure enough, the perrys were looking for a singer.
  • 00:18:59.828 --> 00:19:02.864
  • And i tried out at the quartet convention.
  • 00:19:02.864 --> 00:19:05.234
  • They hired me.
  • 00:19:05.234 --> 00:19:06.335
  • And god bless them.
  • 00:19:06.335 --> 00:19:08.837
  • That's all i can say.
  • 00:19:08.837 --> 00:19:10.138
  • - how long were you with the perrys?
  • 00:19:10.138 --> 00:19:12.174
  • - i was with the perrys ten years and then lost my job.
  • 00:19:12.174 --> 00:19:15.244
  • Most people don't know my story.
  • 00:19:15.244 --> 00:19:17.079
  • I got hooked on painkillers and had to go to rehab.
  • 00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:20.182
  • And my mom had bought me a framed picture.
  • 00:19:20.182 --> 00:19:23.452
  • There's an old western author named louis l'amour, and--
  • 00:19:23.452 --> 00:19:27.422
  • - i've read his books, and i stayed in a motel room
  • 00:19:27.422 --> 00:19:32.327
  • Somewhere in colorado
  • 00:19:32.327 --> 00:19:34.663
  • Where they said it was his room.
  • 00:19:34.663 --> 00:19:36.698
  • - oh, wow.
  • 00:19:36.698 --> 00:19:38.000
  • - and they had a bunch of his original books in there.
  • 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.936
  • So it was just a motel room, but--
  • 00:19:40.936 --> 00:19:43.872
  • - my mom had no idea what i was facing.
  • 00:19:43.872 --> 00:19:46.541
  • And she brought me this quote that said,
  • 00:19:46.541 --> 00:19:49.111
  • "there will come a time when it seems like the end,
  • 00:19:49.111 --> 00:19:53.148
  • And that will be the beginning."
  • 00:19:53.148 --> 00:19:55.284
  • And that's what it felt like when i left the perrys.
  • 00:19:55.284 --> 00:19:57.319
  • I thought i was done singing.
  • 00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:58.920
  • And that was really the beginning of my new life.
  • 00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:01.123
  • And i got sober, been sober 12 years now,
  • 00:20:01.123 --> 00:20:03.558
  • And tell my story every night
  • 00:20:03.558 --> 00:20:05.494
  • And try to help, you know, not only addicts
  • 00:20:05.494 --> 00:20:07.929
  • And alcoholics but their families,
  • 00:20:07.929 --> 00:20:09.298
  • Try to give their families hope.
  • 00:20:09.298 --> 00:20:10.532
  • - yeah.
  • 00:20:10.532 --> 00:20:11.733
  • - and somebody asked me, what do you do?
  • 00:20:11.733 --> 00:20:12.934
  • I said, well, i'm a hope dealer.
  • 00:20:12.934 --> 00:20:15.570
  • You know, that's what we do.
  • 00:20:15.570 --> 00:20:16.872
  • We sell hope.
  • 00:20:16.872 --> 00:20:18.006
  • And "sell" is probably the wrong word.
  • 00:20:18.006 --> 00:20:20.475
  • But, you know, we do.
  • 00:20:20.475 --> 00:20:21.710
  • - yeah, but it's based on real hope.
  • 00:20:21.710 --> 00:20:24.012
  • - it is, the hope in jesus and redemption.
  • 00:20:24.012 --> 00:20:26.848
  • And it's been a great journey.
  • 00:20:26.848 --> 00:20:28.183
  • And thank you for letting me be a part of your family,
  • 00:20:28.183 --> 00:20:31.820
  • Your homecoming family.

  • - yeah.
  • 00:39:20.114 --> 00:39:21.449

  • 00:39:21.449 --> 00:39:23.684
  • And just talk for a little bit.
  • 00:39:23.684 --> 00:39:25.686
  • And you know what i talked about?
  • 00:39:25.686 --> 00:39:27.021
  • - huh?
  • 00:39:27.021 --> 00:39:28.222
  • - the whole time in front of secular producers,
  • 00:39:28.222 --> 00:39:29.790
  • I'm talking about jesus and how much i want to impact
  • 00:39:29.790 --> 00:39:33.694
  • The world for his kingdom.
  • 00:39:33.694 --> 00:39:35.963
  • And they're looking at me like, all right, cool.
  • 00:39:35.963 --> 00:39:37.431
  • That's cool, but, you know, let's try this r&b, this thing.
  • 00:39:37.431 --> 00:39:40.768
  • And i'm just like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
  • 00:39:40.768 --> 00:39:42.002
  • But, you know, man, god is awesome.
  • 00:39:42.002 --> 00:39:43.370
  • And he's good.
  • 00:39:43.370 --> 00:39:44.738

  • Sometimes he can't play linebacker.
