RR: Praise the Lord. Lindsay, whenever I am in Houston, Texas I have the privilege and honor of going to Lakewood International Outreach Church, pastored by John Osteen, who is a regent of Oral Roberts University, our dear close personal friend, John and Dotie, their whole family. All their kids have been to ORU. And I’m so grateful for John and Dotie. In fact, Lindsay and I are out of town members–(Yes we are)–of Lakewood International Church. (Yes we are.) We don’t get to go very often down in Houston, but when we do we go to Lakewood International Outreach Church with John and Dotie Osteen. And there are two very special people who are members of that church and they are our guests today, Bill and Kim Nash. Bill is a gospel nightclub singer, a minister of the gospel. He and his wife are here to share their testimony and to share something that happened with their child and also to sing and to minister the gospel. And I wanted to present them to you today and ask them to come up from Houston and be a part of this television ministry. So would you join me in welcoming them. Here they are, Bill and Kim Nash.

RR: Bill and Kim Nash, give them a good handclap. (Applause) Praise the Lord. Come right over. Kim, God bless you. Get those microphones. (Thank you.) How did you get started singing gospel music in nightclubs?
BN: Oh, that’s a good one, Richard.
RR: Just stick that right on the edge of your shirt there, your coat collar.
BN: My daddy is a preacher. I should have put it on the outside. This is my very first time on television, you know. That’s…my dad’s a preacher and we’ve been missionaries and preachers and everything else just like you’ve been as a kid. I knew your daddy when he first started out in the tent ministry. I was supposed to bring you a picture of your mother and your grandmother and your mother’s sister that was taken in San Benito, Texas where my daddy pastored for years.
RR: In the Rio Grande Valley.
BN: Rio Grande Valley, that’s right. (Sure) And I was raised in the church. When I was 20 I wanted to get an education. We were broke. I don’t know if any of you all ever know what it’s like to be broke. We all do. And so I had to work my way through college. And I tried a service station and that didn’t do so good. I’m not too hot with my hands. And God gave me a talent.
RR: I understand that. It’s all I could do to explain that clystron business. I don’t understand it.
