Healing Rain with Sue Detweiler
Honeytree - A Pioneer of Christian Music
The pioneers aren't finished—their greatest legacy may still be ahead. Some voices don't just sing songs—they awaken generations. It was such a joy to spend time with Nancy Honeytree Miller, affectionately known as the "First Lady of Jesus Music." As one of the pioneering voices of the Jesus Movement, Nancy helped shape a generation of believers through songs that called people into a deeper relationship with Jesus. Today, her story is still unfolding. Her new book, "Pioneer: The Honeytree Story: From the Jesus Movement to the Nations" now available to help encourage other pioneers to step out and obey Jesus by giving Him their "YES" Pioneer: The Honeytree Story traces Nancy's journey from a musically rich but fractured home in Davenport, Iowa, through the countercultural fires of the early 1970s, into coffeehouses, festivals, and stages across the world. It's the story of a young woman who found Jesus before Christian music was an industry, signed with a major label before she fully understood what that meant, and kept singing long after the spotlight moved on. Featuring reflections from fellow Jesus Music pioneers — including Phil Keaggy, Tommy Coomes, and Randy Matthews — Pioneer captures a revival generation's story while issuing a bold challenge: the song isn't over. The pioneer still leads. #Honeytree #JesusMovement #JesusMusic
