Important news from Josh & Ashley Franks about daughter Priscilla

Hi, friends! As many of you recall, Priscilla had two surgeries in 2023 for scoliosis and they did exactly what they were meant to do! We’re so thankful for how far she’s come.

However, after reviewing the last set of x-rays a couple months ago, Dr. Samdani wants to give her the absolute best correction possible. So, Priscilla is scheduled to be having her third back surgery on Wednesday, July 23. This next procedure will be a short revision. The doctor is going to loosen the tether he placed two years ago to prevent overcorrection as she continues growing.

We are so grateful for your prayers during her last surgeries—we fully believe that’s what carried us through. 💛 And we’d love your prayers again as we head into this next one. Thank you for continuing to love on our girl and walk this journey with us. It means more than you know.

The Guardians Announce New
Baritone Singer

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Nashville, TN (July 22, 2025) – Big things are happening with The Guardians! The debut single off their upcoming album, “Kick Up My Heels and Sing," reached #1 on the Power 50 weekly radio chart and claimed the #1 position in the Singing News monthly Top 80 chart for the magazine's September issue.

Most importantly for fans of The Guardians is the announcement that the group is excited to welcome Dale Forbes as their new baritone singer.

“To say that I am thrilled to be a part of The Guardians would be a gross understatement” says Forbes. “Since the first day I got on the bus as a fill-in, I was treated with so much kindness and respect like I was already a part of the family. These men have become like brothers to me in only a few weeks, and to have been chosen to travel with them week after week as a part of this ministry team is truly a dream come true. I feel like God is honoring all of the sacrifices I’ve made for Him in 25 years of pastoring by allowing me now to do what I love the most…sing Southern Gospel music. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be living my dream with The Guardians.”

The Guardians John Darin Rowsey is equally excited by the addition to the group, adding “Because I’ve known what a great singer Dale Forbes was for many years, finding out that he had interest in the baritone position in the Guardians really made my heart happy. He’s not only what we call a ‘singing machine,’ but he’s also a sincere gentleman with a heart for ministry first. We are delighted to welcome him to the Guardians brotherhood."

Look for Forbes along with Rowsey, Pat Barker, and Paul Lancaster on tour this summer and into fall. Their new record, Where Healing Happens, their second release for Daywind Records, will be out in October, 2025.

As of this morning, after beginning on Jul. 1 with one upload each early morning, The Light's live videos from late 2022 to late 2024 that were deleted by Facebook have now been reuploaded after various edits and are available for view in the video section of The Light's Facebook. Facebook now has a policy of only 30 days each for live videos. Since late 2024 most of our videos are now recorded and edited for broadcast within a few days with a few exceptions. Two short live videos from The Hyssongs and Down East Boys singing in Marietta on Jun. 28 will be available to stream through the end of the month.

Tribute singing for Mike Leming live from Eastwood Baptist in Marietta on Oct. 6, 2024. This is an edited reupload of a live video after Facebook's mass deletion of live videos.
