Jules Rancourt is a conservative Christian man who found God as a young adult. He has since devoted his life to Jesus and has grown in his spirituality because of the love he has experienced through his faith, wife, family and sobriety. A dedicated husband and father, Jules has been an inspiration to many.

At the age of twenty, he admitted to God, to himself and to his family that he was an alcoholic. He found the unconditional love of God in a twelve step program through other alcoholics. As his sobriety strengthened, he found himself free and full of life as never before. One day while on his knees in prayer, God inspired him to write a song. He later admitted, “This over whelming feeling like the Holy Spirit came over me and I started writing furiously and weeping in front of my startled wife. It wasn’t until she read aloud what I had written that we realized what had just happened.” These experiences continue to bless Jules with inspirational songs, ever strengthening his faith and renewing his musical dream.

For many years Jules has ventured into the music world, recording two country albums and releasing three songs to country radio. Only in the last few years has he realized that he was missing his true calling and that his vision was to spread God’s love and grace through his poetry and music. All of his songs are about love, the greatest of all God’s gifts and truly belong in the Christian venue.

Jules has touched many lives with his humble testimony of Hope and sobriety. He faithfully speaks at numerous twelve step meetings, jails, schools, student bodies and Baccalaureates and performs regularly at local and county fairs, local events, weddings and churches. He has planted the seed of Hope in many hearts and knows that the gift of music as all gifts that he has been given have been given by God for him to share. His perspective on life is simple. “It’s based on hard work and simple prayer and not necessarily in that order, and that God loves all His children more then we’ll ever know.”

God continues to reveal Himself to Jules with Divine intervention, giving him lyrics, music and wisdom that Jules says, “are not of me.” Recently returning from Nashville with his first Contemporary Christian album he is preparing to enter the music world through a Higher perspective. Jules is a willing and humble servant waiting to share all that God reveals to him through song and praise.

The Godfather of Christian Country Music

MONTE STEPHENS BIO

THE GHOST IS BACK! After a ten-year absence from the studio, Stephens is releasing his new album "TIME". His 1994 "OUT OF HIS SIDE" album gave him TWO .. 1 hits and six songs made the international TOP 20. Nominated for "Album Of The Year" "Songwriter and Veteran Vocalist Of The Year" and won the "Horizon Award" and disappeared once again from the music scenic.

Now the ghost is back! With the recording of "TIME", many in the music industry say it is Stephens' best to date. Nashville engineer Ken Isham who has over 30 years experience at the mixing board said, "after this project was completed, I would find myself getting out of bed at night and going to the studio and listening to it again. In my view it's one of those recordings that wins awards."

Freedom Records producer Gerri' Dee said, "looking at the world of music through Monte's windshield is a challenge, but I was blessed to be apart of the creative process." Called the "Godfather of Christian country music", Stephens has been writing and performing his country style of gospel music three decades before the Christian Country Music Association was formed in Nashville.

"TIME" has been in the making for three years, picking songs Stephens has written over a four-decade span of time. Monte also chose a couple of songs written by two dear friends, Sammy Ammons and D. Royce Baird, both of which have had gold and platinum ink flow from their pens. Know to include on his recordings a gospel classic, Monte chose Ronnie Hinson's "When He Was On The Cross." Hinson upon hearing Monte's vocal performance of his classic said, "I loved his vocal phrasing, Monte truly made the song his own.

Quoting the remarks of others about one of gospel music's "unique stylists" is totally insufficient. The album "TIME" must be heard, to experience the spiritual journey through music Monte will take you. I walked away with the feeling "what a ride."
