Bill Gaither opens Homecoming Radio with the refrain “Take his peace. Keep the peace. Pass the peace,” inviting listeners to explore what it means to receive, hold, and share that peace.

What Does “Take His Peace” Mean?

Gaither frames the theme as a gift that comes from God, not earned by deeds. He and his guests—Tori, Daniel Britt, Kevin, Pat Barker, Joyce Martin, Kevin Davis, Gene McDonald, and Bobo Ris‑Loon—share brief reflections on how that peace has touched their lives, hinting at the tension between calm faith and everyday storms.

Remembering the Indiana Tabernacle

One of the program’s highlights is a recollection of a hot, outdoor tabernacle in Indiana. The host describes the sun‑blasted fields, the gathering of singers and listeners, and the sense of community that made the experience feel like a shared moment of peace, even amid the heat.

From the Mid‑South Boys to the Mid‑South Group

The conversation turns to the Mid‑South Boys, the quartet that later became the Mid‑South Group. The guests discuss how the group’s early recordings and live performances helped spread a sense of comfort and unity, illustrating how gospel music can be a vehicle for peace.

These glimpses into the program’s blend of music, memory, and conversation invite listeners to think about how peace is received, kept, and passed on. For the full story—complete with the songs, anecdotes, and deeper reflections—listen to the full episode on Homecoming Radio.
