I can't tell you where it came from for at least the next 15 years, so I hope you understand. There's a rumor that the Pastor's Conference may have a similar … [Read more...] about The SBC Annual Meeting: Secrets Revealed

SBC Voices is pleased to announce that we are one of the official distributors of Tom Ascol's latest CD with his quartet, "The John 3:16 Boys." Ascol's last album "Whosoever Will" went multi-platinum, and he has now added the beautiful tenor voice of Timmy Brister, the deep bass of Al Mohler and the stunning baritone of Mark Dever to many of the songs.  Expectations run high on this one.
