Black Friday Special!


Whether you're out and about snagging that Black Friday sale you've been waiting for all year or avoiding the crowds by shopping online, we have a sale of our own we don't want you to miss! 
Black Friday through Cyber Monday, we are offering our two latest CDs, Rewind and Home For Christmas, for only $20!    
When we went into the studio this summer to produce our new recording, we wanted to step back in time to the songs we sang as the Mark Trammell Trio.  Selecting ten of our favorites, we recorded songs like "Loving the Lamb," "When They Ring the Bells of Heaven," "Heaven," "If Only Just a Few" among others...only this time, in four part harmony.  If you enjoyed our music as a trio, you'll love hearing these songs again and if you're new to our music, we would love to introduce you to these songs on our brand new CD, Rewind.
 
If you would like to read more about Rewind, please visit Justin Gilmore's website, Southern Gospel Spotlight here.  Thank you Justin, for a great review!   
Home For Christmas is our current Christmas project which we recorded with ourfriends the Whisnants.  Together, we set out to create an album with both traditional and new Christmas music; since its release last winter, fans have been listening to this music on CD and on the Home For Christmas Tour we launched in 2014.  You will hear songs from MTQ such as: "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," "O Holy Night," "Christmas Times a Comin.'"  New music from the Whisnants includes: "Jesus Brought Joy to the World" and "Without Christ There's No Christmas."  One of the most touching songs on this CD is a sung by Susan Whisnant, "If You Could See What I See."  This ballad ministers to all who miss their loved ones who have passed on during the Christmas season. 

  
Home For Christmas Tour begins Tomorrow!
We're on the road again tomorrow for the "Home For Christmas Tour" with our friends the Whisnants!  This year the tour is coming to Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina - check the dates on our tour page to see if we're in your area!

Now It's YOUR Turn!




Over the last few days we have shared with you what we’re grateful for this Thanksgiving.  Now it’s YOUR turn! 

As we travel each weekend, we hear many encouraging stories about how God has worked in your lives and blessed you with the music the Lord has given us to sing.  These testimonies encourage us greatly and are one of the reasons we continue to climb on a bus and leave our families every week.  Though we travel over 200 days a year, our schedule often takes us to different places and we know that there are many testimonies we haven’t heard yet.  Today, we want to give you an opportunity to share with us how God has blessed you this year without having to attend a concert or leave your home!     

How would we like you to do this?  It’s simple!  Comment on this post below and tell us what you’re thankful for and how the Lord has worked in your life this year!  

If you’ve read our posts over the last few days, we each answered these two questions.  We’d love to hear your answers too! 

1. What passage/verse of Scripture are you thankful for?
2. What MTQ song has a message that you are thankful for this year?       

Instructions:
1.      Scroll to the “comments” at the bottom of this page.
2.      Make a comment telling us what you’re thankful for.
3.      Select “publish” and you’re done!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thankfulness with Mark Trammell




Only two days until Thanksgiving!  We want to share with you the things we are thankful for, the Scriptures that have impacted our lives and the songs that have ministered to us this year.  Then, on November 25th we want to hear from YOU!  Stay tuned!

Thankful for the message in this song:  God’s Been Faithful
Thankful for this passage of Scripture: Psalm 1:1-2

"Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the blessings of God in our lives.  This year I'm especially thankful for
those in our MTQ family - LaResa Trammell, Nick, Jessica, Tessa, and Charlie Trammell; Randy and Tracy Byrd; Blake and Lauren Buffin; and Thomas and Nancy Gilmore.  The sacrifices that these people make are THE reason God continues to bless our ministry.  Their prayer and unconditional love can positively and literally change the lives of people around the world.  One day at a time, one soul at a time.  All for the glory of God!

Psalm 1:1-2 is a great "life verse" for me.  It is not only a daily challenge but a constant reminder that God rewards a thankful heart and an obedient spirit. 


"Blessed is the man who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.  For his delight is in the law of the Lord. And in His law doth he meditate day and night."

The second verse of God's Been Faithful fits me like a glove.  Such reality and such comfort that God WILL continue to be faithful to the end!  As an old preacher friend of mine once said, "God's work, done God's way, receives God's supply."   He truly has been faithful to me.


Happy Thanksgiving!

Thankful for the message in this song:  God’s Been Faithful
Thankful for this passage of Scripture:  Titus 1:2

My favorite verse isn't considered to be a "Thanksgiving" verse per se, but the message in it is what I'm most thankful for!!  

"In hope of eternal life, God which cannot lie, promised before the world began." - Titus 1:2 

I'm thankful that God made a way for me. I'm thankful His promises are true!  I'm thankful that Gods been faithful!!!  In my darkest hour, there was healing power!! God gave me His Son, my beautiful wife Tracy, and brought me to MTQ.  His healing power is awesome! 

Happy Thanksgiving!
