I’ve been following Mali Music since I found Christ in middle/high school & J McReynolds since college. Wow, wow, wow! Silent night & Mary Did you know literally just made me shout in the kitchen! Amazing men. Edit- now I’m still listening to this mix a year later and I’m crying Everytime I hear this and now must hear this playlist every time the holidays approach. We need another Mali and Johnny concert featuring this set!
