What America wants to know about
Freedom’s Crossing By Rob Patz
Freedom’s Crossing is a great example of how America’s youth are touching their world with their talents, passion and faith. Adam and Rebecca Reynolds met at a church event that would change their lives forever. Now a dynamic and polished Southern Gospel duo, this couple travels many miles bringing their original music and message of the love of Jesus to audiences across the Nation. They are even developing into a trio with the addition of their young daughter Jeslynn who is learning harmony. Freedom’s Crossing has just released a new album and a new radio single, and with their excitement and sincerity, I knew they were artists that I needed to introduce to our SGN Scoops readers.

How exactly did you meet and what did each of you think when you saw the other one? Adam: We actually met at a church state convention in Roanoke, Virginia, when we were 15 years old. Up until we met and eventually got married, Rebecca traveled basically all of her life with her family group, The Duncans, out of Cleveland, Tennessee. Her family was ministering on stage at our convention and I was sitting with my papa on the third row. My first initial thought of Rebecca was, wow,
this girl is beautiful! Then, my ear starting listening even closer to her and I thought to myself, wow, this girl can sing! Knowing I had to meet her, I actually made my way backstage through security and met her for the first time as they walked off of the stage. To me, it was love at first sight. To Rebecca, it took a little more convincing. However, it wasn't long after until we knew that we were born to be together. Rob: Please tell us about your backgrounds in music and how you started singing. Adam: I sang a year or so in the school choir, but I always had music in my blood. My dad used to travel years ago with a group called Praise Him. My poppy, which is my mom's dad, traveled in a bluegrass band called The Country Hicks. So music has always run deep in my veins, but I never really had a lot of experience singing in front of people until Rebecca and I met. After we met, I started singing with Rebecca's family group. Rebecca: From birth, I was raised on a bus traveling with my family, who at that time was known as The Gospel Carriers. The group included my dad, mother and uncle. I remember sitting on the front row with my sister and cousins while our parents ministered, always knowing to be good while they were on stage or we would get the eye from mom and dad. At age three, I began singing on stage
