Hey everyone, Over the last several years we've heard from people from literally all over the globe about the need for community in christian/gospel music. It seems that everyone is so passionate about it..how people of all cultures, styles and genre's blend to reach the masses with the message of hope in Jesus.. With that said, it's seems only temporal to me because most seem interested until it costs them something..which is TIME and the sharing of information etc.
Why are we so disconnected and disinterested in helping out those who may or may not help us go the next level of fame, fortune etc? It seems that many of us are so busy in wanting to be successful at our craft that we aren't successful in building real and lasting relationships that can only be birthed out of giving something that could benefit you away..I have accomplished more, done more mainly(in my belief) not because i was the most talented human being, but because I value, cherish and nurture my relationships and those relationships blessed me when i had no influence to help myself.. We have lost something that is so valuable that we must regain it if we are going to be what God has called us to be. I'm not your competitor or rival, we are co laborers in a plan and mission much bigger than ourselves. Yeah,we all want a pat on the back, we all want our ART to be recognized but why should it be at the expense of another..how can that be Christ like? We are building an image of something that doesn't resemble the One we say it's for..I guess what i am saying is: What are we giving away to benefit someone else? Who are we mentoring to take the cause of Christ after us?
Let's all remember: The only thing that will remain are those things that are truly done for Christ..
If you're an artist, do something to help another fellow artist
If you're a writer, do something to help another writers song get heard
If you're a producer, do something to expose another producers work
We always reap what we continue to give away! ant

The Source of it all
To my music family,
As singers, musicians and music ministers, we all feel the responsibility to look for ways to promote and tell the world about our gifts and the one we aim to please. This can at times be a very tiring and almost difficult road to travel on. Many doors open on this road, while many remain closed. Often times this frustrates us to no end. Questions pop us such as "Why won't they give me a chance?" or "Why is this hard?" or "Am I even good enough?"We go to events, we say the right things, we do the right things, but still we end up falling short of our anticipated goals.. I just want to encourage everyone, including myself, to make sure that everything we do be built upon Wisdom and the leading of Holy Spirit. He knows what doors to knock on(he doesn't want you waisting your time and energy) Remember in all our ways, we must acknowledge him and he'll direct our paths..In other words, let's look to Him and what he already knows and we will find ourselves arriving at the destination(his destination) right on time!
Love ya,
antonio neal

What is the movement of Beyond Potential? aka(BP)
Glad you asked..
Simply stated, we started BP to build a foundation or voice for urban christian artists. By urban we don't mean "Black Music" as some believe but simply the style of music, art and culture with that expression ranging from hip-hop, rap,jazz, spoken word, praise & worship to urban gospel. We believed(and still do) that urban expressed christian music & it's artists are some of the most under-rated, under-appreciated group of the gospel music genre. For years we've watched many of us wander from event to event, festival to festival, looking to be heard, hoping to be accepted and to find a safe place to be who and what God created us to be in Jesus Christ. I guess we were simply frustrated with seeing many who were gifted to impact the globe, fall through the cracks, looked over and simply forgotten about..causing many to walk away from music ministry forever..No, we aren't a huge organization, No, we aren't the smartest people in the biz,(well maybe Brandon is) Who are we? We are just two men whose wives and families have given us the grace and support to inspire, motivate and launch people(who feel forgotten) from around the world into their music destiny!
