Dr. James Mable Interview

I have an in studio guest and it’s the one and only Dr. James Mable Jr. His song “I’m Free” is loved by the Real Gospel family and you’ll get to hear the testimony behind the story! Since he’s currently a youth pastor, he’ll give some great advice on how to reach the youth of this generation so parents, be sure to listen with your kids. Family this is an interview you don’t want to miss! 
Bio: 
Being the youngest child of four with three older sisters (Alicia, Bernecia, and Crystal), Dr. James Mable Jr., who hails from Navasota, TX, has carried the mantle of being special since birth. He is the son of Pastor James Mable Sr. and Mary Harvey Mable.  Growing up in the home of a pastor was not always easy, but it was definitely worth it! In fact, James gives credit to his parents for preparing him for the journey called life and introducing him to Jesus Christ! 
Education was a priority in the Mable household, and Dr. Mable did not disappoint. He graduated with honors from Navasota High School in 2003 and enrolled in Prairie View A&M University. Within a six-year span, Dr. Mable received his Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education, Master’s Degree in Educational Administration, and Ph.D. in Educational Leadership. However, his doctorate degree almost cost him his life. One afternoon on his way home from class, James fell asleep at the wheel and got into an accident causing his jeep to flip seven times. The next year and a half was filled with struggle and determination as James continued to pursue his doctorate while being partially paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair with seven permanent screws in his left foot. He had to learn how to walk all over again at the age of 27! Nevertheless, Dr. Mable survived it all!  His professional career includes being a music teacher in Waller, TX, a research assistant at Prairie View A&M University, an independent newspaper distributor for the Houston Chronicle, and advisor at Houston Community College-Downtown. Dr. Mable knows that his education along with God’s favor has opened and will continue to open doors for him!
When it comes to ministry, Dr. Mable knows the calling on his life- a special gift to the body of Christ. He has always been a songbird. At the age of 15, he taught himself how to play the piano.  In 2000, his passion and love for music prompted his father to name him Music Director at his home church (Missionary Camp Baptist Church). Seven years later at the age of 22, Dr. Mable finally answered the call to preach.  Meanwhile, he continued his passion for music by auditioning for BET's Sunday Best singing competition in 2009. Although he missed the show by bowing out in the tie-breaking final round, this experience served as a launching pad for his ministry. On the plane ride home, Dr. Mable wrote a song entitled “Dream The Impossible Dream”, which he released in March of 2015 and is available on all major digital outlets.
He soon realized that God's plans were not his plans. God was ordering his steps! In June of 2015, Dr. Mable accepted the offer to become the Youth Pastor at the Antioch Baptist Church in Beaumont, TX under the leadership of Senior Pastor, Dr. John R. Adolph. When Dr. Mable arrived at Antioch, the G412 Youth Ministry had only 22 active kids. Today, that number has grown into the hundreds. 
In addition, his music career continues to flourish! Last year, he released two new singles entitled “Praise Him” and “Holy Are You Lord”. Both tracks are available on all digital outlets! In January of 2019, Dr. Mable inked his first deal with music industry legend promoter/manager Greg “Uncle G” Lyons and Uncle G Records! Dr. Mable has shared the platform with artists such Kirk Franklin, Kurt Carr, Kirk Whalum, Jonathan Butler, Brian Courtney Wilson, Maranda Curtis, Zebulon Ellis, Leandria Johnson, Zacardi Cortez, Bishop Marvin Sapp, Bishop William Murphy III, Anita Wilson, Darwin Hobbs, James Fortune, Fred Hammond, Earnest Pugh, Dr. Dorinda Clark-Cole, Pastor John P. Kee, Dottie Peoples, Shawn McLemore, Kelontae Gavin, The Walls Group and Gene Moore, just to name a few. In July of 2019, Dr. Mable released his first official single under Uncle G Records entitled "I'm Free". The song is available on all digital music outlets! In addition, the song charted on the Billboard Gospel Digital Sales Chart at #17 two weeks after it was released to the general public. Not to mention, I’m Free was considered for a Grammy award for Best Gospel Performance/Song for the 2020 Recording Academy! Only God could do something like this! In December of 2019, James released his first Christmas classic rendition of Joy To The World, which has gotten rave reviews! 
Dr. Mable uses his gifts of ministry, music and education all over the globe to give God the glory! James has been floored by the favor of God upon his life, and he is simply enjoying the ride…

Monique Ford Interview

Here she is, the one and only Monique Ford and she’s my guest on Real Gospel! How hard is it for an independent artist to bring God’s vision to manifestation, and how long does it take? You’ll hear what she has to say about that and we’ll talk about her project, “Journey” as well as her hot song, “Nothing Compares” Don’t miss this interview! 
Bio:
Singer and songwriter Monique Ford began singing in church as a young girl in rural Selma, Alabama. Her love for music has grown over the years and is a true gift from God. Inspired by the likes of Whitney Houston and Yolanda Adams, Monique’s style is both contemporary and soulful. 
Monique earned her Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Alabama and accepted a position in Colorado with a Fortune 500 company, but music was never far from her heart. 
Upon her return to Selma she began singing at her home church. A local producer heard her sing one day and invited her to record. Though it wasn't gospel music she accepted the opportunity to record in a studio environment. Her first southern soul blues project titled "Get a Maid" was released in 2004. Monique wrote several songs on the successful project and went on to record two additional albums. However, she was never fulfilled with singing the blues and was led by God to walk away from it in 2008. 
Monique began the process of writing her current gospel release, “Journey”. The songs are testament to her faith in God and a look into the journey her life has taken over the years. She is currently promoting her new album and spreading the love of Christ through song.
