The 2000's

New Church Home

Archive of Random Notes November 2009 |  Breaking news to share with you. We are excited about this but melancholy at the same time. We have a new home church – Bell Road Church of the Nazarene, Nashville, TN, pastored by Rev. Brian Russell.

Let me clarify the change has nothing to do with anything negative or bad. I do not want anyone to read something into this that just is not there. God is doing a mighty work at Grace in a mighty way. I have watched Him work so powerfully and it is just going to get better so why leave now right?

Our previous Pastor, Rev Ken Dove preached a sermon on Jan 18th about being “comfortable” in Church. It led to a lot of questions for us about our purpose at Grace vs. our purpose in our community. Bell Road Church of the Nazarene is so close to our house we could almost walk, it is our community. That sermon really convicted our entire family. We realized we were “comfortable” at Grace and not in a good way. God has been burdening our hearts with our community here in SE Nashville for quite a while and we all have just been pushing it a side.

After prayer, family discussions and all the things that go along with such a life changing decision we have transferred to Bell Rd. It teen angels that people and our community. We all sense God is doing something great at Bell Rd! It is confirmation that this is where God wants us to be. I made a video to celebrate the ministries of Grace for Pastor Dove. I came out beautiful! Check it out!

We just have to be obedient and do the work God calls us to do. God is doing great work at Grace and Bell Rd. If you are looking for a good church home Grace or Bell road are wonderful and will welcome you with an open embrace. I believe there has never been an urgency like there is now to be on fire and do something for God to further His kingdom! Can you feel it?

Ministry Updates

In April we made a trip up North to Columbus, Ohio for two concerts. One at Friends Worship Center and the other at Scioto United Methodist Church. May began with a Change of Command Ceremony and a by name request to perform the National Anthem.

Later in May, my great friend Stefanie Coburn Fuller joined me from South Carolina for a concert at Bell Road Church of the Nazarene, Nashville, TN. At the end of the month, James and I made a visit to Memphis for pleasure and were blessed to minister at Eastside Iglesia Church of the Nazarene. Yes, we went to Graceland! Also in May, my mom and the kids made a trek up to Michigan to spend some time with family. On the home front I got a chance to do some impromptu harmonies with Ken Apple

In Summer is moving by so quickly – it made my head spin. June, both kids were in and out of the house with camps, trips and notability – Camp Electric for my daughter right here in Nashville at Trevecca Nazarene University. This kid met Toby Mac and had him leave me a message on my cell phone! Boy do I wish I had answered that phone call. I always tease my family and tell them if Toby Mac, Kirk Franklin or Faith Hill ever ask me to sing back-up with them I am gone.

In all seriousness, I am blessed to have such God-fearing and wonderful teen-angels. Both my kids are following in mom’s footsteps and sing with me frequently. My daughter has already written over 200 songs. A third generation songwriter! Now that makes my head spin. I am not going to mention the songs I have yet to complete.

One of our adventures in June lead us to “Camp Meeting” were I was honored to sing on the Worship Team lead by my dear friend Nathan Rogers. It was great to see so many friends from all over the TN District. Our Speaker, Dr. Leonard Sweet (if you ever get the chance to hear him GO) says – we are either in a storm, coming to a storm or coming out of a storm. From his book “The Perfect Storm” and in his presentation at Camp meeting he gave us these pointers in my paraphrased version of what to do in a storm:

1. 1.  Pull up anchor and launch into the deep – boats that stay docked at the shore get beat up
   2. Steer into the storm – when at sea ships that steer into the storm survive – the ones that try to out run the storm sink
   3. Get rid of excess cargo – in a storm excess stuff is thrown overboard to lighten the load
   4. Mast ourselves to the Mast of the Master – the crew will tie the Captain to the Mast of the ship so he doesn’t get thrown or knocked overboard. Jesus is our Mast and we need to tie ourselves to Him.
   5. ENJOY THE RIDE – you only get one!

July 4th in Chattanooga

For the July 4th Holiday, we spent some much needed family time – all 5 of us and our 2 dogs in beautiful Chattanooga. I was yet again reminded of how much our God loves us. Just to look at the beauty around me. To stand on top of Lookout Mountain and look down into the valley, watching the graceful but winding flow of the Tennessee River all I can say is WOW. By the way my kids are huge and I think my son is now taller than his dad. Well if he is not, before this e-blast is read he may very well be.

Later in July we traveled to the Marcellus Michigan area for 3 events, concerts at Marcellus United Methodist Church, Waklee United Methodist Church and our favorite the Drive-In Bible Church. It was wonderful to have a good chunk of my immediate family with me for these events.

From the events in our world, I hope we all realize how short life is and in a nano-second we can be gone. If you need to make amends with someone in your family or that you care about just do it! Look at how many celebrities we have lost reminding us that no matter how many songs we sing, movies we make and footballs we throw, our life is mortal. “What good is it for a man to gain the whole world,
yet forfeit his soul?” Mark 8:36

JUDITH TEAMS WITH JUBILEE MUSIC ARTIST AND TLC INDIE GROUP
It is always amazing to see how God unites His people for a much greater cause. Jubilee Music Artist Group founded by Nazarene Song Evangelist and signed Southern Gospel Recording Artists Barbara Roach has already opened many doors in ministry for Judith. Judith met Barbara at a songwriting workshop in Nashville a few years ago. Several weeks later Judith found herself singing back-up during one of Barbara’s concerts in Nashville purely by the Hand of God. The two have formed a friendship and a partnership that forges ahead to spread the Gospel though music.  Thanks to Barbara in September I found myself singing in a National Quartet, Jubilee Music Artist Showcase an getting a professional critique from Southern Gospel artist Mike LeFever of the LeFevere Quartet.

By the time fall arrived I found myself sharing an event with Dr. Gay Leonard for the WoW (Women of Worth)  Conference. We wrapped up the year just before Thanksgiving by hosting a Songwriter’s night. Christmas ministry activities were reserved for Choir at our home Church.

Good Books To Read!

• • My friend and now neighborhood resident, Dr. Naima Johnson is published! Her new book is “Called to Sing, 13 Mistakes to Avoid When Starting in Music Ministry.”
  • Another very good guide is “How to” Guidebook for Indie Ministry, A God Booking,” by Valetta Lanier.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

Random Notes March 2009 | The year began with me leading worship for the TN District Ladies Breakaway. It was a great event with Allison Durham Speer as our speaker. Being a part of helping ladies rest, refresh and re-energize is fantastic!

In February we were back at Summertown for a wonderful morning of Praise and Worship. We always enjoy the Bravos. We also made a quick trip up to Battle Creek for my Nephew’s Baby Dedication at Battle Creek First Church of the Nazarene where I sang Mama’s Song (Judith’s Lullaby).

By the time March arrived it was time for the showcase at the Indieheaven CIA Summit where Mom and Zoey accompanied me. I shared this event with Brian Duncan! Mom was sitting next to him and they were having a great conversation.

At the Summit I met Valleta Lanier. I was very impressed by her heart and her message “Let God Be Your Manager,” I eventually commissioned Valleta’s husband, an established Christian Artist and Songwriter, Gary Lanier to score “Unshakable Faith.” Little did I know just how established Gary was until I found myself rehearsing one of Gary’s songs – “Honor and Majesty,” with our church choir. Gary and his wife Valleta are incredible, humble and have a huge heart to share what they know with like minded Christian artists. I am looking forward to working with them more in the future.

Merry Christmas from Judith Baker Ministries

Random Notes December 2008 | “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 (King James Version)

Through it All

We have had an incredible and jam packed year. We watched a niece graduate from High School, a cousin start a new life with her husband, our oldest start to drive and our youngest pass me up in height. Judith’s sister is expecting her second child and her mom has enjoyed Nashville in her first year. We prayed a niece through cancer, witnessed the miracle survival of an uncle that fell off a ladder, prayed friends through financial troubles and others through marital woes.

Ministry Updates

We made our way through Tennessee, South Carolina, Ohio and Michigan for ministry and family events. Judith was an extra in the new “Billy Graham,” Movie, our church choir at Nashville Grace, sang at the TN District Camp Meeting and with Larnelle Harris and Allison Durham Speer. Judith was featured in 2 Gaither style DVD’s produced by the talented Eddie Crook. We closed December out with a musical at our church “The Christmas Post.” Everyone but James had a part in the production. No matter what we were faced with, good and bad – Praise God for another year! Happy Birthday Jesus!

Judith Baker Ministries

An artist since age 4, and a former Jehovah’s Witness, Judith has been singing most of her life.  Her incredible testimony of how she was “set fee” from the Jehovah’s Witnesses will confirm that God still sends angels to perform miracles.  Having sung with the Army Soldier Show, the Grammy nominated – Melodies of Praise, the USO and several groups and choirs; since moving to Nashville she adds working with Worship Leader Nathan Rogers  (Nashville Grace Church of the Nazarene – our home church), Craig Adams, Dave Clark and Marvin Jones to her list of accomplishments.

She is a two time Indieheaven Momentum Award nominee and most recently, she was featured in a Gaither style DVD produced by Mr. Eddie Crook and a small spot in the “Billy Graham, the Early Years” movie, produced by Robby Benson.  But don’t think these achievements have given her a big head.

This hometown gal from Battle Creek is still about her “Father’s” business and you will know right away that the Anointing of God sings through and speaks through her.  She is also proudly retired from the US Army after 21 years of military service.  To all of you residing in SW Michigan, we wanted to make sure you got a personal invite.  Come on-down or up and toot your horn at the Drive-In Bible Church.  Tell a friend, send a family member, but pray always!

From Veterans day to a 13th birthday to Thanksgiving day – busy is good! I had some last minute opportunities. For this Random Notes November 2007 – First a belated thank you to all my fellow Veterans for your service. Don’t forget they fought and still fight for our freedom, for our right to have an opinion even if it is against the war in Iraq.  Focus on the people, their sacrifice, their families, their dedication and continue to pray for them. Anyone versed in scripture realizes this world is only going to continue to get worse until Jesus returns. Don’t get mad at me for being honest enough to say it… because it is in the Bible. Read it for yourself!

Let Freedom Ring!

Last weekend (Nov 11) I had the unexpected privilege of singing at a Church farewell for our Navy niece who is headed to Japan. Since it was Veteran’s day weekend, James suggested I do something patriotic which I did. One thing I love about Columbus, OH, (besides my Buckeye’s) is how patriotic they are. They really appreciate those of us who have served or are serving our country. Our brief time at
Friend’s Worship Center in Columbus was wonderful. We got to spend some much need time with our cherished family and made some new friends.

When we returned to Nashvegas, I did a taping for a Time Life Magazine infomercial, giving a testimony about their new product the “Ultimate Gospel Collection.” It is a blessing! You my have seen that infomercial with Bobby Jones from Bobby Jones Gospel hour.

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Thank you Jesus for…Forgiveness of my sins…A roof over my head…The privilege of prayer…The opportunity to vote my conscience…The joy of giving to you work…The Lord’s Table…

A soul mate…Beautiful children…PEACE in our land…My church family…The chance to travel…Assurance about life after death…Your patience with my spiritual progress…

Beautiful stars at night…The place you have prepared for me in heaven…Even for problems that help me grow spiritually.

 What are you thankful for this year?

“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe…”  Hebrews 12:28

Wow what a summer in this edition of Random Notes August 2007. From TN to MA to MI and then FL. God has truly been at work. I praise Him for traveling mercies indeed!

I even got honked at while ministering at the Drive-In-Bible church in MI. My kids have been all over God’s green earth as well. My teen went to Nazarene Youth Conference in St Louis and my tween went to Pre-Teen Camp, TN and Orlando, FL.

As I think back on these events I am grateful for the grandmother in MA that made it a point to tell me that her young granddaughters are now curious about heaven and asking questions that are only going to lead to salvation! I praise God for the woman in MA that is listening to my CD for encouragement to help her with her depression. I am humbled that a woman that won my CD in a door prize in Michigan. She is a two time cancer survivor and was thrilled to have my CD – it’s just me folks.

I have got to see kids graduate from HS and college, spend time with my family in MI and MA and just reflect on all God has blessed me with.

I so want to invest my life in a way that when I am gone the work will continue! How about you?

Life is a Gift

• • Today before you think of saying an unkind word – Think of someone who can’t speak.
  • Before you complain about the taste of your food – Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
  • Before you complain about your husband or wife – Think of someone who’s crying out to God for a companion.
  • Today before you complain about life – Think of someone who went too early to heaven.
  • Before you complain about your children — Think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.
  • Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn’t clean or sweep – Think of the people who are living in the streets.
  • Before whining about the distance you drive – Think of someone who walks the same distance.
  • And when you are tired and complain about your job – Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
  • But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another – Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one Maker.
  • And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down – Put a smile on your face and thank God you’re alive and still around.

Life is a gift… Live it… Enjoy it… Celebrate it… And fulfill it!

NEWSFLASHES – Two Events Coming Up

In November, I have been invited to be part of the Franklin Homecoming Jubilee. This is a Gaither style taping for DVD and will be available for all of you. Produced by Eddie Cook and Barbara Roach, this will feature some of Gospel Music’s finest.

In December, our TN District Nazarene Churches are combining our talents to minister in song at the Roy Acuff theater here in Nashville. This event is directed by Craig Adams, Marvin Jones and Nathan Rogers, all ministers of music in their respective churches. There will be about 300 voices in this combined effort and you will not want to miss this. Tell your friends and come and let God touch hearts and change lives.

I did very well at the Millie Lewis American Modeling Talent Convention/Competition (AMTC) in Orlando. I made some fantastic contacts and got some incredible experience and expertise from all the training. There were over 80 industry agents, scouts, and labels represented. No matter what you do by trade – do it with excellence and strive to always be better! I am looking forward to what God has in store next!

Prayers Requested

• • Please remember my home church as we embark in 24 hours of prayer from August 23-24th.
  • Please remember my dear friend Sharon in Alaska as she has make some changes in her employment and request you specifically pray for financial wisdom
  • Please remember my mother Mary as she is making plans to relocate to TN right here with me. She is no longer able to care for her mentally handicapped sister and we are searching for a home for my aunt here in TN. This needs to take place before she can truly move here.
  • Remember me as I am making some decisions myself – it is an unspoken request.
  • Thank you for your faithfulness to God in prayer for one another!

Conference Highlights- CIA Summit & GMA Week – Nashville, TN

What a great time I had at these two events featured in Random Notes May 2007. I got to learn how to do the many tasks of my ministry better. I had a chance to get some great constructive criticism from top industry professionals at the CIA Summit during the Songwriter’s Bootcamp. No, I didn’t win the Momentum Award, but it is still an honor to be nominated. I don’t at all feel like a looser. Everyday when we say yes Lord yes we are
winners in His eyes. Thanks again to those of you that voted. On to the next task.

Meeting “The Voice”

On meeting Sandi Patty. What a wonderful surprise. I didn’t even know she was going to be there (it was not advertised). She was getting a special award for being with the William Morris Agency for 20 years. I almost didn’t make it to this particular showcase because early Wednesday morning I got very ill. James (my fab hubby) said, “the Devil is trying to keep you home today because God has something special for you.” I drug myself out of bed and went downtown to catch the William Morris Agency luncheon and showcase and there she was.

Then I went home and climbed back into bed and stayed there for the next 24 hrs (allergic reaction). I have been a fan of hers for years but for a really special reasons! The first Sandi song I heard was “In the Name of the Lord,” which is still my favorite. I was going through a very dark time and I walked into a Christian bookstore to buy my first Christian accompaniment track. “In the Name of the Lord” was playing. It was the first track I bought. Fast forward to 2001, I was rehearsing “In the Name of the Lord,” for a concert. Unknown to me the Holy Spirit touched my children and both of them accepted Christ as their Savior independently while in their beds (and I thought they were asleep).

Getting to meet and talk to Sandi was a lifelong dream. Yes, she knows my story about my kids, I e-mailed it to her years ago. She was even gracious enough to seem to remember! See God really does give us the desires of our hearts – when we least expect it. Praise Him!

2013 Update – I was blessed to work an event for Music City Mission with Sandy in Nashville So humbled by the experience!

Recognition for 20 Years with the William Morrison Agency

Photos from the CIA Summit

At GMA week I learned from the best Managers, Agents and Promoters and made some new friends. I found out John Ruben is a fellow Buckeye fan, met Sandi Patty, Paul Coleman, Nichole Nordeman, Jody McBrayer (Avalon), saw our friends Family Force 5 (huge fans) and so many others in the industry. A lot of t’s were crossed and i’s dotted. These events were a HUGE blessing for me as I continue in the
direction I believe God wants me go. I love what I do!

It has already been an amazing time for us. In this edition of Random Notes April 2007, January chimed in with plenty of promise as Judith found out she is a Momentum Award finalist, largely due to most of you voting!

Official Press Release

Judith Baker is excited to announce that she is a finalist for the 2nd annual “Christian Indie Alliance MOMENTUM” Awards, to be handed out at their upcoming CIA SUMMIT conference March 29-April 1, 2007 in Franklin, TN. There were many artists that received nominations over the past 60 days, with over 5000 nominations being placed by fans and surfers. Voting to determine the winner will take place between 01.01.07 to 02.01.07. The final award winners will be announced on Saturday, March 31, 2007 in Franklin, at Indieheaven’s CIA Summit conference.

A Message from My Heart

…A note from Judith… Recently I had the extreme privilege of hearing Dr. Leonard Sweet at a TN District Event “Improve Your Serve.” His message was challenging, thought provoking and encouraging. He talked about the days we live in are very much “The Perfect Storm.” He gave us an amazing analogy of this Perfect Storm along with 5 tips to survive this storm. What continues to resonate in my mind is this statement: “everyone from the time of baptism are baptized into the ministry and commissioned as a missionary to the world.” Then he asked us, “what is your ministry and what is your mission?” Many of you have heard me say several times that we are all a part of the “great commission” and we all play a part. Think about this and pray God gives you the faith, strength, wisdom and ability to embrace and achieve your ministry and mission.

Highlights of Previous Events

We closed out 2006 with a concert at our home church – Nashville Grace Church of the Nazarene here in TN. I had a surprise guest; my son came up and sang a duet with me. Then I had the extreme pleasure of participating with our choir in the performance of “Ill Be Home For Christmas” one of my favorites.

Family Force 5 Private Concert Taping

If you are a Family Force 5 fan (“C” is for Crunk) – we had the extreme fun of  seeing them live at their taping for the Gospel Music Channel. I have now become the official coolest mom ever for pulling my kids Zoey and Sergio out of school for the afternoon. The had no idea where were were going and when they found out they were thrilled! Not to mention we made some new friends! Be prepared for head-banging!

Welcome Friends!   Hello all – I haven’t forgot about you.  I have just been very busy but who isn’t this time of year? Here are the Random Notes November 2006

A Message from My Heart  In September I had the privilege to attend the TN District Ladies retreat where our speaker was Dr. JoAnn Ballard.  It was a treat to meet her and we may actually be distantly related.  How cool is that!   I wanted to share something that really blessed me, yes with my big dreams.  Dr. Ballard pointed out to us:

• • If you have a dream, vision, goal – write it down.
  • Remember those in the Bible that got through to God were desperate.  If we are going to get through to God we have to be desperate – remember Hannah?  Her desperation? (I Sam Chapt 1.)
  • Once you have made your request to God go in peace – 1 Sam 1:17.  We must seek peace and get our heart in tune with God so we settle down and He takes over.
  • Once you have peace be patient – you may not see an answer right away but you have the peace to be patient.  It may take a little time for things to pass.  Pray for the appointed time to come and it will.
  • Lastly, once you have made your request to God – Bank on it!  Keep doing what you do,
    devotions, attending church, reading your Bible.  God sees you making the investment.  Don’t’ just do nothing!

My dream is different than your dream or perhaps it is the same but aren’t you glad we serve a God that see our investment into His kingdom and blesses us with His eternal reward!

Highlights of Previous Events

Aug –   Columbia Central Church of the Nazarene, SC – It was great to see my dear friends Stefanie and Rev Thrower again.  God was all over the event.  Praises went up and many commented on my testimony and how it challenged them.  Stefanie & I closed the service with “God of All Gods”

Sept- I had the pleasure to sing at the Dickson County Fair and met a new friend who had me sing at the 22nd Anniversary of “The Faith Connection” hosted at New Hope Missionary Baptist Church in Dickson, TN.  I was very blessed by all the other groups that ministered in song.

Oct – We were back visiting and in concert at 3 events in SC.  Charleston Calvary Church of the Nazarene was kind enough to feature little ole me at their Oktoberfest for the 4th time, and in concert on Sunday for both worship services.  I was thrilled to sing with fellow Song Evangelist Kim Timko and visit with Rev & Mrs Lindsay.  Kim and I closed the worship with our rendition of “I’ve Just Seen Jesus.”  It was wonderful to see old friends and make new ones.  All the kids as so big – how did that happen?

Next Ministry Event – Nashville, TN –  Grace Church of the Nazarene, November 26, 2006, 6pm

In Loving Memory

Please be in prayer for the family members of the following who have gone home to be with the Lord:

• • Charlene Grimes
  • Anthony Davis son of Rev Eve Davis
  • Rev. Frank Reese
  • Dr./Rev. Jim Crabtree

“ when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared.” Proverbs 3:24-26 (New International Version)
