In this unforgettable episode of The Walk, legendary sibling trio The Archers—Tim and Stephen—sit down to reflect on their 50-year journey through ministry, music, and the message of Jesus. From the Jesus Music movement to Grammy stages, and now to a brand-new live album, Legacy Live, the Archers remind us why truth-filled songs still matter.

Whether you're a worship leader, an artist, or a listener who grew up singing “Fresh Surrender,” this conversation will stir your soul and reignite your love for music that preaches the gospel.


Who Are The Archers?

The Archers helped pioneer the sound of contemporary Christian music, blending gospel roots with pop, soul, and R&B. Known for powerful harmonies and songs like It Wouldn’t Be Enough, Make Me an Instrument, and Jesus Is the Answer (gifted to them by Andre Crouch), their legacy spans stages like the Grammys, the White House, and sold-out arenas—and now, into the next generation through their children and grandchildren in worship ministry.


Episode Highlights

  • The heart behind their new album, Legacy Live

  • How Andre Crouch gave them Jesus Is the Answer—and finished the second verse on the spot

  • Turning down Hollywood to stay true to their calling

  • What they’re seeing and loving in today’s worship music scene

  • Why legacy means more when your grandkids become worship leaders
