Long before it had that name, Byron Spradlin started what is now called Artists in Christian Testimony International. He looked around the Church in North America and realized that there was a major gap for Christian artists: They needed encouragement, coaching, and support from the Church, but they weren't really getting what they needed. Here's Byron's story of how ACT International began and how God is using him to encourage Christian artists. Music credit: Tony Anderson (www.tonyanderson.com).

Today's episode is an interview with Lew Flagg, one of the board members of ACT International. In this episode you'll hear Lew's heart for artists today. He was an encourager before A.C.T.
