In this episode, we sit down with Ray Ervin—creator, producer, entrepreneur, A&R at Tribal, and co-owner of Remnant Music. If you’ve listened to Apostolic music in the last few years, you’ve felt Ray’s influence, whether you knew it or not.
Ray’s story begins in Birmingham, Alabama, in one of the city’s toughest neighborhoods. Growing up between a praying mother and a partying father, Ray saw firsthand the transforming power of the Holy Ghost through his father. The day he walked into an Apostolic church, lifted his hands, and was completely delivered from alcoholism – that moment changed the trajectory of his entire family.
Ray shares how God used tragedy, a near-fatal car accident, and a deep encounter with Him to unlock the music inside him. What started as a kid experimenting on GarageBand became a God-given calling and one that would eventually lead him into producing, writing, managing artists, and co-founding Remnant Music with James Wilson.
But Ray’s message goes beyond just producing music.
He explains the intentionality and stewardship behind getting Apostolic music beyond our own circles, in front of new audiences, and into the ears of people searching for God.
This episode explores the spiritual, strategic, and creative disciplines behind the rise of Apostolic music – and why your gift, no matter how different or misunderstood, is part of what God wants to use to reach this generation.
Whether you’re a creative, ministry leader, entrepreneur, or someone waiting for clarity on your calling, this conversation will push you to dream big and steward the gift that God has given you.
