And it's our extreme pleasure to have Ben Fuller on
the line. Ben's part of the Revival Nights Tour. Ben,
How you doing? Man?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Hey, Hey, good good morning, good afternoon.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
How are you hey? We are fun are you? We
are in this We are in Kansas, and we are
in Wichita, and we can't wait to see you again.
This is not your first time to Wichita, buddy.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
No, I love Kansas so much. It is completely opposite
of where I've grown up growing up in Vermont. There's
lots of mountains and you know, houses tucked away, and
Kansas is extremely flat. Yes, and that's it's just flat.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
You noticed, you noticed the last time you were here. Man, Well,
I'm so glad you're honest to come on back.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I couldn't tell you when the last time I was there.
I remember, you know, a lot of the times it's
funny when we're driving through. I've driven I feel like
I've driven through Kansas, but it's always at nighttime, and
he like all the windmills lit up, got you, you know,
like the red lights. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Well, hey, Park City Arena last March, where I first
heard you. I was like, don you gotta hear this guy?
She turned me onto your music, and.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Wow, Yeah, I can't wait to come back. It's just
it literally is an honor, and I'm just ready and
expectant for God to show up and do some awesome stuff.
So hey's no telling.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
We got ready. This is the first night of the
Revival Nights tour. Correct, Yeah it is.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
You bet?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yes, we leave I think we leave here Thursday. We
leave Nashville Thursday evening, and so I'll wake up Friday
morning in Kansas. Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Sunrises and Kansas are beautifully That's right. Well, tell us
tell us about the tour itself. Let's see who all's involved. Now.
Zach Williams is the is the dude? Right?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, Zach Williams is gonna end the night. There is
a man named Matt Marr who has written some really
really powerful songs about Jesus and there's also Cain, which
I thought that they were going to make me match
their outfit on this tour. I'm not sure about all
(02:35):
that yet. I'm still waiting for confirmation they color code.
I'm sure people have seen their videos on Instagram and Facebook.
They're hilarious and they also match everywhere they go. They
make their own they make their own clothes and it's insane.
And then and then myself, and so I'm excited to
(02:55):
to say that that, uh yeah, I'm gonna be out
with some extremely talent did amazing musicians that all love Jesus.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
It's going to be a fantastic night this Friday at
seven o'clock at night at Park City Arena. Now, if
you don't have your tickets, we've still got time to
get them. We pick them up a ticket Master right now,
and join us at Park City Arena for a fantastic
night with Ben Fuller and Zach Williams and the entire
Revival Nights tour. It's going to be amazing. Ben, I
(03:25):
would like to ask you, what is your favorite part
of touring around the country. What do you like best.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
I think it's behind the scenes where nobody sees. I
think it's the places that God shows up. I think
it's the places that I get sent like a coffee
shop or an antique store or you know, somewhere walking
in between to just talk to somebody and just smile
at somebody who needs it. I think we all just
really especially times right now are heavy and people are
(03:57):
wayed down and things are kind of upside down, and
a smile goes a long way, a hug goes a
long way, and you know, that's what Jesus would have done.
And so it's just treating people as you would want
to be treated. And I think that there's a lot
of moments that people don't see when I'm not on stage.
So I'm excited for the in between, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I love that. Yeah, I love your heart is great
to hear. Now, what would you say, Ben, to invite
somebody who's maybe not inclined to buy a ticket to
the revival nights to or what would you say to
somebody to invite him that maybe he has never heard of?
Ben Fuller and Zach Williams.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, it's a scary thing. I was just at San
Quentin Prison last weeks and I got to sing for
three thousand men there, and you know they were all
different colors and all different shapes and all different sizes
and covered with tattoos, and you know, some of those
guys were really scary, and you know, it was like, Wow,
(04:57):
what am I doing here? How did I get here?
But I think that there's just a lot of people
going through life. I was, and I'll speak first person,
I was going through life and going is there something more?
Is there something else? What else is it? Why do
I feel empty? Why do I feel looking? Why do
I feel lost? And I got invited to church by
(05:18):
a family from Vermont and down here in Nashville, and
I heard the gospel and I felt the power and
it just was it was amazing, and I was like,
this is what I've been looking for. So I would
just say, if you're lost, if you're feeling like you're
missing something, if you're feeling like you need a wake
up call, if you need something to stir your heart,
(05:42):
if you've been on cruise control, come give it a try.
Like five years ago, I would have laughed at both
of you guys if you said, Ben Fuller, You'll be
singing about Jesus for the rest of your life, and
so I'm the guy that didn't go to church, that
never went to church, and so, but the beauty is,
(06:02):
we can have church wherever. We can have church in
an arena, we can have church in prison. And uh,
I'm proof of that. So yeah, I would say, come
give it a try. And what do you got to
what do you got to lose?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
What do you got to lose? Come out? It's you're
gonna leave with a smile on your face. I guarantee
you're gonna be uplifting and you're gonna have fun, and
you're gonna be entertained, and you're gonna get something to
chew on if you catch my drift. Yes, hey, can.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
You give Kansas a hint of any new music you
might be sharing with us this Friday? Oh my goodness
is allowed. Isn't that the cool thing to not to
be like, well, you have to show up?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Uh you know, maybe you'll just have to show well
because here's the big secret. This is the first show.
Oh no one really knows what's gonna happen. And I
love because there's no social media posts about it, there's
nothing online about it. It's like I don't really know
Ben's gonna be on tour with Zach Kane and Matt Mark.
We'll see what happened. How's that love it?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I've got friends flying out and bring in family, so
we can't wait.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Oh it's going to be sad. I literally am am
very excited. Expectant is the word too. That there's going
to be some miracles. There's going to be some amazing
things that happen.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So Ben Fuller, thanks so much for being with us
on Wichita weekend today. You're kind of giving us both
goosebumps here thinking about that show on Friday night. If
