 Pastor Sheryl Bradysbm_promo

Pastor, Conference Speaker, Recording Artist, Wife, Mother and Grandmother. Sheryl Brady does it all with grace, wisdom and inspiration.  She has traveled extensively around the globe for more than 25 years previously as a psalmist and now as a sought after speaker at conferences and churches.  She is a frequent guest on TBN’s national “Praise The Lord” program and has ministered for Bishop T. D. Jakes at his MEGA-fest conferences.

Pastor Sheryl’s humanitarian efforts are affecting lives all over the world. Her ministry offers a wide array of outreaches, which include feeding thousands of people annually through the food bank program housed on the Sheryl Brady Ministries and The River Church campus, supporting the families of U. S. troops stationed overseas and many more.  Also, close to Pastor Brady’s heart is the support of families with terminally ill children through prayerful, emotional and financial support. One of the future outreach goals for Pastor Brady is to open “G-Ma’s House”, a loving and stable home for newborn babies of incarcerated mothers. A refuge and a hope for our most precious gifts, our children.

Having recorded several music projects, Pastor Sheryl appeared as a guest artist on Bishop T. D. Jakes’ “Woman Thou Art Loosed” album, co-writing the title cut on this Grammy, Dove and Stellar-nominated recording.

Pastor Sheryl Brady and her husband, Bishop Joby Brady, are the founders and overseers of The River, a thriving church in Durham, NC. Their three daughters Lana, Tina and Nina are active leaders in their ministry. She is a proud grandmother of four, Jaden, McKenzie, Josiah, and Ryan.

Da’ T.R.U.T.H.’s Stellar award-winning, GRAMMY® and GMA Dove-nominated junior project, Open Book enjoyed a record-setting debut at #2 on the Billboard Gospel Chart the week of its release.  Now, in his epic fourth Cross Movement Records release, Da’ T.R.U.T.H. encourages listeners to See and Live THE BIG PICTUREda-truth-cover-highres-rgb

 

Divided in two parts by interludes, which feature GRAMMY winner and multi-platinum artist Kirk Franklin as the narrator, the opening scene explodes with “U-Ready?” featuring J-Soul as Da’ T.R.U.T.H. rallies us to See THE BIG PICTURE by going back in time to the beginning of creation to experience first-hand the unfolding of God’s redemptive story from Him speaking the earth into existence to the climactic “Trumpet Blow” at the end of time.

 

The second part of the CD provokes us to Live THE BIG PICTURE—a life shaped and driven by God’s redemptive story—as
Da’ T.R.U.T.H. tackles issues such as politics, prejudice and more in songs like “My President,” “Great Wall” “Fantasy” and “Pain.”

 

Along the way, he is joined by an all-star cast of guest artists who help him paint the pictures of this cinematic experience including: Tye Tribbett, J.R., Deluge Band, Trip Lee and 2008 UK MOBO winner Jahaziel and the fresh new voices of Tia Pittman on the infectious single “Lost,” Freddy Washington, Jr., J-Soul, Chris Graham,  GP and Swoope. Produced by Freddy Washington, Jr. and Da’ T.R.U.T.H., THE BIG PICTURE also features tracks by the award-winning J.R., Tony Stone, UK newcomer GP and Philly natives David Hackley and Edward “PeeDee” Wright.
