‘There Is No Money In Gospel Music’ – Frank Edwards

“There are so many reasons.

Firstly, you have to understand that the industry and ministry is not the same thing.

Gospel music is a ministry, the other one is an industry, so it functions fully like that.

The gospel ministry is totally different from the secular industry even though you might say that there is a business side of it which makes it similar. But in gospel ministry, the business aspect of it is never the focus.

I tell people that if you want to make money, don’t do gospel music; you would have a lot of issues.

Gospel music means one is reaching out to people through music; the others are strictly entertainment or at least 70-80 per cent entertainment. ”
