“I highly recommend Lance Christopher as both a musician and a minister. He is a powerful songwriter. When he shows up to sing or to minister, he also has a powerful presence, and I have seen that people are genuinely encouraged and strengthened. But above all I recommend Lance Christopher because he is faithful. Gifting combined with character is a powerful package, and it is rare, but it is seen in this man who is a faithful husband, father, musician, minister and friend to our community.
He will undoubtedly bless you and your community as well.
He is the real deal!”

"Remarkable talent... I highly recommend giving Lance a listen."
Steve Ekblad, AUDIO GRID
"There is a truth and sincerity in Lance’s music that is very rare. Heartfelt emotions are projected into every song. What’s special about this talented singer/songwriter is that… you don’t only hear him, you believe him! The songs are based upon the simple principles of honest living, in both the good times and the bad. His genuine, good-hearted spirit reaches far beyond his music… it’s evident to all he comes in contact with! I know that he will be (and already is) a blessing to many!"

"Lance’s character and values is what set him apart from many musicians I know. His passion for the Lord is ‘off the charts’ and that transmits through his music and ministry, reaching into the heart and soul of those listening. In the short time I’ve known him I have noticed several things about him, as he has ministered at our meetings… He has a tremendous love for people; he is sincere in all of his dealings with people; he is absolutely genuine; and is very sensitive to the ‘flow’ of the Holy Spirit. It all seems to flow from his pure heart! Lance, …he’s the real deal!
We have had him back on numerous occasions (5 or 6 times) to minister at our monthly meetings. He has become a wonderful friend to all of us at KSI. His music and love for people is a tremendous blessing to the Body of Christ."

LANCE CHRISTOPHER'S WEAKNESS...
*****************************
And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness..."
2 Corinthians 12:9a
Lance Christopher Says That He Knows What It Is Like To Be Weak...
"Battling cancer over the last few years really broke me down. The truth is, suffering and struggle forever change a person.
It marks you... And you have a choice.
You can get bitter or you can let your heart be trained by it.
In my case, it also forced me come face to face with some disturbing truths like...
I wasn't tough or strong.
And contrary to what I once believed, I never really had been...
Intense physical pain, endured for long periods of time, ruthlessly made this clear to me.
For someone who had served in the army and was raised by a career military man (at one point, my father, my brother, both of my brothers-in-law and I were ALL on active duty at the same time), this was an especially bitter pill to swallow!
However, this self discovery opened up an even greater truth...
My Savior is tough and strong and always has been.
I mean, he endured torture and then death on a cross because He loved folks that hated Him!
But more than this, because He has suffered, the Scripture says He has compassion on me and gives me His strength when I admit my weakness and by faith rest in Him.
Well, after fighting sickness for awhile, the "admitting my weakness" part was pretty easy.
It was the "by faith resting in Him" that was a moment by moment battle.
Sometimes, it still is...
But it is a battle I did not (and do not) have to fight by myself.
Actually, I am sure that had I been left to fight it by myself, I would have lost.
I think I began to grasp how utterly dependent I am (and was) on the Lord, and His humbling care poured out through others.
The body of Christ, my business partners, the Nashville songwriting community, doctors and nurses... God moved on so many people to stand with my wife and children, and I... It blew us away!
I dont know how many times I have broken down in tears when considering the selfless love that God sheltered us with through the beautiful folks around us.
There is NOTHING like genuine Christian community.
You know, there are times when I can literally feel the power of the prayers going up on my behalf!
When the healing finally does fully manifest in my body, in this life, I believe that it will have been the result of Gods love...
A love manifested in the prayers of those who selflessly carried me in their hearts."

CANCER, MUSIC AND JOY!
********************
Lance shared how the cancer battles have impacted his music and ministry, "They have really forced me to dig deep, and to my surprise, what I found there in that deep place was joy... pure, radiant, and full of hope.
Of course, I had to get past the shock, grief, self pity... You know, all the junk that trouble brings to the surface... But I found that once I chose to offer up to God a sacrifice of praise... Not just an offering, but a sacrifice...
And let me tell you when you got no hair, you are so weak you can hardly move, you were just throwing up, and every cell in your body hurts... It is a sacrifice to praise!
Well, what I found out was when I started singing to God, even as pitiful as that singing was, God took notice!
I could feel His Presence and His love in ways that are almost impossible to express!
It was like He would touch me with a joy that was deeper and truer than the trouble.
Obviously, not every day is "Joy Unspeakable", but when I feel really down, I try to be honest with God and I talk to Him just like I would if I was a kid hurting and talking to his dad.
