Chris Fabry Live! - Forgiveness // Grover Levy's Update
Air Date July 30, 2010
Summary
On this Friday's edition, we'd like you to hear a story that we alluded to last week. Tim was a young man who witnessed the murder of his father. What he chose to do with the anger and bitterness towards the perpetrators is a story of God’s grace, forgiveness, and the difference mercy makes in some broken hearts. And it’s time to meet an old friend and catch up on his story. It’s a man who burst onto the Christian music scene—and then kind of disappeared. Don’t miss it!

Tim Streett is assistant director of Shepherd Community Center, a faith-based, inner-city ministry on the near Eastside of Indianapolis. Prior to this, he served as the executive director of Jireh Sports, a ministry to youth in the Martindale-Brightwood community. Tim has a teaching ministry focusing on issues of racial reconciliation and forgiveness. As a fifteen-year-old, Tim witnessed the murder of his father during a random robbery. As an adult he reached out to establish relationships with each of the men convicted of the murder. One of those relationships grew into a friendship as Tim helped the man pursue his education and establish a successful life upon release from prison. Tim is married to Stacy, who is a school librarian and a coach at Jireh Sports, and they have two children.

Grover Levy
Grover Levy grew up in Nashville where he taught as a high school teacher and basketball coach and helped lead worship at his church. But it's hard to live in Nashville and not know somebody in the music industry. In Levy's case, it was Jeff Borders, and the two started to work together on songs. After doing two demo tapes, Levy thought of himself as a singer, and was surprised when he wound up helping write most of the ten songs on his first self-named album. That disc, was described as "somewhere left of The Beatles and right of alternative rock," but the praise and notice it earned led to writing more songs. The title of his second album is Wrestling Angels, which recalls the patriarch Jacob's bout with an angel.
