In this special edition of the All Y’all podcast, we are proud to share a story by Bossier City native and friend of All Y’all, Al Bohl. “E.M. Bounds Sees Jesus” (that’s our title, not Al’s) was recorded at Al’s home – it was not recorded at a live event. The story recounts a very bizarre week in the life of a young singing evangelist and chalk artist. We’d never even heard of Christian chalk art before Al shared his story, but apparently it’s a thing – check out Chalkevangelist.com or Chalkartist.com for fascinating examples of contemporary chalk art ministries.
Whatever you believe, Al’s story is hilarious and endearing. It is a window into a world that few have had personal experience with – the world of rural tent revivals.
The next All Y’all Live storytelling event, “OMG,” will be held at 7 p.m., Friday, August 28, 2015 at Sainte Terre in Benton. Tickets are available and may be purchased here. For more information, check out this post.
“OMG,” and every live All Y’all event and podcast in 2015, is presented by title sponsor Holiday Lanes. Additional live event sponsors for “OMG” are Maccentric, John E. Settle, Jr. – Attorney at Law and SandysDance Center. Additional support for “OMG” is being provided by Sainte Terre. All proceeds from this special fundraiser edition of All Y’all will be donated to The Renzi Education and Art Center.
“All Y’all Live: OMG” Update
What do we know about “OMG” so far? There’ll be live music by Grammy-nominated bluesman Buddy Flett, a cash bar provided by Sainte Terre, five or six great storytellers (more announcements on storytellers soon!) and we’ve booked a coach bus to provide a $20 round-trip ride between Mall St. Vincent in Shreveport and Sainte Terre, for anyone who’d like a ride out to Benton. Purchase event or bus tickets here.
Thanks, y’all!
