Life, Worship and Family: Interview with Joe L Barnes

In this soul-stirring episode of Encounter Sounds Podcast, we sit down with the incredibly talented Joe L Barnes. Born in the heart of Kentucky, Joe takes us on a journey through his musical upbringing, surrounded by the diverse sounds that shaped his unique style.

The conversation delves into Joe's early years, recounting his time on the road with Eddie James, where he played an astonishing 320 services a year. The intensity of those first four years of ministry became the crucible in which Joe's character and ministry started.

A pivotal moment in Joe's journey occurred when he connected with the musical collective, Maverick City. We explore the story that led to Joe co-writing the beloved song "Promises," a powerful anthem that has resonated with audiences around the world.

Beyond the music, Joe opens up about the importance of spiritual fathers in his life, mentors who have guided him on his path. He shares his perspective on success, challenging conventional notions and offering a deeply personal definition rooted in faith and purpose.

One of the most inspiring segments of the interview centers on the story about his brother suicide and how that was a defining moment in his life and family.

Join us for an uplifting and insightful conversation with Joe L Barnes as we explore the power of promises, and the extraordinary journey of a worship leader devoted to a higher calling.

I’ve known Joel and his family since he was a little boy when he and his brother, Aaron did mime ministry at churches. Upon returning to KY for ministry in 2014, I briefly stayed with he and his mom until my house was ready. When he wasn’t at work he daily sang and worked on his music diligently. It’s such a blessing seeing his progress and success. Listening to this interview I’m awed at the wisdom of God he shares. Looking forward to all God shall continue doing in, through and for him.🙏🏽😍🥰
