Charlotte Marshall Bise
"Jesus Talk Live" began in March 1999 as a radio call-in talk show. Charlotte Bise is the founder, President and host. After a bout with throat cancer, Charlotte felt led by the Holy Spirit to share her stories of the “sufficient grace” of the Lord Jesus Christ she had experienced through out her life and invited others to call and share their stories.
The first program was a one-hour program aired on the Dollywood Radio Station in Pigeon Forge, TN and later advanced to a Morristown, TN. During the first year the program became so popular that it advanced to a two-hour program during prime time.
In 2001 God promoted the program to television. The first television program aired on Living Faith Television based in Abington, VA with founder Buford Smith. During the first years on television, the cameras were placed in the radio station and "Jesus Talk Live" was aired both on radio & television simultaneously
In 2003 God promoted the program again to Nationwide television, Gospel Music Television with studios in Pigeon Forge, TN. It also became available to internet worldwide.
Charlotte says of herself, “I am just a witness.” Compelled by the Scripture in Mark 5:19: "Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee."
The theme song for "Jesus Talk Live", written and sung by Charlotte Bise relates to this same message and sums up the body of the program: “I Like to Talk About Jesus With My Friends.”
In Charlotte’s words, “Jesus told me to go and give them HOPE. JESUS is our only hope!"
JP Miller
From Sycamore Road to Sevierville, Tennessee, JP Miller has had one driving force: the guiding voice of God through music. It was a direction he felt strongly about pursuing in his own life's path. So, after graduating from Fairmont State University, he was off to Tennessee to see what might be in store for him. Starting at Dollywood's Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame and Museum gift shop, he sought opportunities to "hit the road" with his music.
Eleven years into his ministry, JP has recorded several albums, including his newest project "A New Day." He has shared stages with The Crabb Family, The Hoppers and Dottie Rambo.
JP has co-hosted the worldwide televised "Inside Gospel" with Gospel Music Hall of Fame legend, Lou Wills Hildreth. "Inside Gospel" guests include Ricky Skaggs, Bill Gaither, Mark Lowry, and The Happy Goodmans.
He was also a member of the rated-gospel trio "First Love." Far from his West Virginia beginnings, JP has shared his voice from within to the far corners of the world.
JP and his wife Tyanne have two children, Macee (their little princess) and Micah (a ball-of-fire little boy). They still reside in Sevierville, TN where JP loves to have yard sales, take naps, eat Japanese food, and play with his kids.
With a full time solo concert tour schedule, hosting a weekly television program, “Southern Style Praise”, hosting a weekly radio program live from Ogle Furniture Outlet (Sevierville, TN), “Smoky Mountain Gospel Jubilee," being a youth pastor, a husband, and father, JP knows that God has blessed him with a wonderful life and has indeed given him “the desires of his heart.”
Laura Draper West
"I am WONDER WOMAN ... I wonder where I left my keys; I wonder how I put on weight; I wonder where my money went; I often wonder why I wonder." This is one of Laura's many funny thoughts that will have her audience laughing. Proverbs 17:22 tells us that "Laughter is good like a medicine." This is truly how Laura has overcome the many adversities she has faced over the years.
Laura is an author and Christian speaker/comedienne from Sevierville, Tennessee. Laura and her husband, John, were foster parents to over 100 medically-fragile babies for 12 years. During those years, Laura learned that to get through the darkest days you must have laughter.
One of the babies was Maleka, a blind girl who was scalded in a tub of hot water at 15 months of age by her birth mother. Laura and John adopted Maleka, and today she thrives as a miracle from God. Laura shares this poignant story in her book, " Blind, Burned and Living Against All Odds."
Laura is energetic, comical and able to relate to any audience. For the past 7 years, Laura has traveled and spoken on many different topics, including:
"How To Learn To Die Laughing"
"Showers of Blessings"
"Jesus Wept"
"Proverbs 31 Woman"
"Burst Your Bubble of Bellyaching"
" I loved her presentation. She made me laugh and cry. Laura has a special way of presenting serious situations with the gift of humor. Her witty words and stories entertain and speak to the heart. She is a gifted speaker who we have had several times in our area. Laura is a comedian, mother and an extraordinary Christian Woman. I highly recommend her." ( Author: Beverly LaHote Schwind )
Lynda Randle
Lynda Randle was born and raised in Washington, D.C. Growing up in the D.C. inner–city culture, Lynda experienced a pain and anguish rarely imagined by the majority of Christian America. Since giving her life to the Lord Jesus Christ, He has used the scars of her youth to bring a distinct depth
and richness to her ministry. Her life is the fulfillment of the promise of Isaiah; "...Bestow on them the crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair." – Isaiah 61:3, NIV
Anyone who knows Lynda will find themselves marveling at her bottomless supply of enthusiasm. Whether ministering to a large congregation, or one–on–one to a runaway teen, her joyful dedication to the Lord is always a source of encouragement and infectious catalyst for growth.
In November 1989, Lynda married Mike Randle of Kansas City, Missouri. Mike's background growing up on the streets of Kansas City's inner–city and his dramatic conversion experience give him a powerful voice to youth who find themselves in the same desperation he knew. The Randles enjoy the various occasions where they are able to minister together, Mike speaking and Lynda singing. Lynda and Mike have been blessed with two precious daughters, Patience and Joy.
In 2008, Lynda founded “A Woman After Godʼs Own Heart” conferences. Reaching hundreds of women through this two-day event, Lyndaʼs conferences offer dynamic speakers, outstanding singers and musicians, Christian comic relief, sacred arts performances and incredible testimonies. In 2011, these conferences take on international markets as word spread across the oceans. One remarkable thing about Lynda's ministry is her ability to quickly build rapport with audiences and "draw them out" regardless of the type of group. In fact, her message and music are truly cross–cultural. This is proven over and over through her individual performances and the womenʼs
conferences.

3D Ministry
Lessie and Waylon McCarter are the founders of 3D Ministry and 3D Studio of Dance & Fitness. Lessie was born in Tampa, Florida but has lived in Sevierville, Tennessee most of her life. Lessie married her high school sweetheart, Waylon, in 2002 and they now have a beautiful daughter named Aleya.
Lessie's huge passion for dance began at a very young age. Throughout school she was a cheerleader, on the dance team, and choreographed many routines for other groups and schools. Even then deep down her true desire was to use her talents for God. The Lord opened the doors in 2002 for her to travel in a Christian dance and drama ministry called “3D” that she is still very involved in today. During this time she has also been blessed to work with people of all ages teaching church groups, choreographing many routines and leading dance workshops all over the U.S. Over the years, she has seen a huge need for dance to be taught in a clean,Christian atmosphere.
Waylon was born and raised in Sevierville, TN. He has always been involved with fitness from a very young age and still makes working out and nutrition a very important part of his life. He began his training in Martial Arts at the age of 7 and is now a 3rd-degree black belt. Wrestling and gymnastics were also a part of his high-school activities and he was captain for his junior and senior years.
We provide top-quality dance, tumbling, fitness, personal training and nutrition education in a complete Christian atmosphere for all ages. Our goal is to encourage every individual to gain confidence, self-esteem and a positive self-image while reaching their fitness, dance and weight-loss goals.
“It breaks my heart to see kids taught to “booty shake” to the filthy songs of this world. I am disgusted that this world has turned the beautiful art of dance into something so degrading and displeasing to God. My heart is to change this! To make a difference that will have an eternal purpose! This is why I created 3D Studio of Dance & Fitness." ~ Lessie McCarter
