This Is My Story, This Is My Song - Keith Getty (Episode 1)

[@spiritandflesh8477]

just stumbled upon you by chance. I love your take on traditional hymns and am hooked on your music brother. Praise the Lord!

[@SoundsLikeReign]

Our family name is Kirkland (from the US) but we've traced it all the way back to Aberdeen 1565. Great convo! Two of our favorite artists! Bless you both!

[@angelahomes5618]

I am from SCOTTISH AND IRISH. DECENT CROWLY STEVENSON .BURNSIDE HARVEY.

[@bethboyd5991]

Excellent interview!!! So many gems of wisdom!!! I listen to both of you regularly and it lifts my thoughts to God and enhances my days!!! God bless you all ❣️❣️❣️

[@janicemacpherson4158]

My name is Macpherson, Scottish father-in-law, but I had Irish convicts in my ancestry, I love the Gaelic language and your Celtic Worship music is so uplifting. During the last year I have listened to you every day thanks to You Tube and Spotify,

[@billlupton2782]

Terrific interview 👍🙌🏽🙏✝️🙏🙌🏽👍. Glad to know you are serving the Lord in the recovering community. Christ drew me to himself when I got clean and sober 29 years ago. Praise The Lord we are new creations in Christ. Thank you Steph for your musical ministry. I can’t get enough Celtic Worship, Getty music, & Sovereign Grace music. I love ❤️ the theological depth of these modern hymns which almost rival some of the biblical older hymns we are blessed with. Thanks

[@aletagreenspan128]

Love the historical hymns you are pulling off the shelf , dusting them off, and using your Celtic musical talents to re-introduce them to this generation. So powerful. I memorized “In Christ Alone” and play it on my low D whistle to start my prayer time.

[@bjcaperelli3475]

I am a German married to an Italian (Reeh-Caperelli) but you can call me McCaperelli... I wanted to thank you and the others ministering from Ireland and Scotland. There is a precious face of God that I glean from my Celtic Christian brothers and sisters. From you, the Spirit has helped me understand more deeply the significance of the Trinity.

[@CariDLC1]

Dad’s mom’s name was “Murphy” and her mom’s name was “Nelligan”. According to Ancestry DNA, my ancestors are Welsh and Irish (County Cork). Hard to imagine with the last name “De La Cruz” but that’s because we dropped the ‘O’ from the beginning. ;-) That aside, Steph, I found Celtic Worship at the height of Lockdown and you remain in my playlist under “repeat”. God shines through the darkness when we need His light...and when we lose our bow. God Bless and Keep You!

[@clange12651]

Great interview. The importance of congregational participation in worship cannot be understated. So often it's a concert in today's churches but the worship leader must lead the congregation in worshipping our Lord and Savior. Thank you for bringing these truths to such a public forum. God bless! P.s...get a hold of John MacArthur and see if you can lead worship at the Shepherds Conference next year. It would be awesome!

[@followeroftheway8454]

Great hymn ' In Christ Alone'. It is a wonderful spiritual lift. Great words.

I have Scotch-Irish in my heritage. My mother's grandparents were from somewhere in your area. We are related back there, somewhere to Thomas Eakins. My father's family came directly from Warsaw...not sure what their actual bloodline is hooked to. My husband is a Wingfield, and directly related into the oldest of Wingfield families from over in the Sussex area of England. My sister's husband's family is old Irish. :-) Love listening to music from you both.

[@kitskitt5412]

This was such a nice conversation, with such wisdom from you both. Thank you for sharing. 🤗

[@ORDWIFEY]

AWESOME!! You guys are so inspiring. Sing Sing Sing!!!

[@noahgodfrey4209]

Love your music! So encouraging to see theologically rich music still being faithfully produced and performed. God bless you and the talents God has given you.

[@danwu2718]

In Christ Alone is one of my fav hymns

[@rizpahjael1]

Wonderful interview. Thank you. I grew up singing a capella hymns in my little childhood church. I still have the hymn book. 😊... Irish and Scottish heritage too. My dad spoke Irish Gaelic. I'm super rusty, but I used to read at the October Mass for those who have died that year, at St Patrick's in Seattle. (Usually it's the 15th, but that's also the international child/infant/pregnancy loss day, and I do a service in Canada for that--so I had to give up the first service). Anyhooo... thanks again for starting the podcast. My condolences and prayers to your family for your losses, your grief, and your son's continued recovery!🌷You are so talented. Adding this to your musical abilities, will continue to bless others even more. 💚🙏💚

[@starfirealternitybroinchri5369]

This will be awesome already :) Good one Steph 👍😊

[@matthebbard7584]

Hebbard (Southern England) but have Locke and Morrison in family line. DNA revealed Sutherland and Caithness roots. Grandfather was from Newfoundland, CA and grandmother’s family PEI, Canada. I am from Pennsylvania and live US/Mexico border South Texas in McAllen, founded by a Scot. Just found Steph and your music. Touches my heart deeply. Dad sang Celtic tunes and grandpa from Newfoundland. Both are with the Lord. Newfie accent is more like Scot/Irish. Earliest memories are Celtic tunes. I play 12-string electric and this would sound cool if someone adds it to the songs. Well-done! Steph you have God-given talent and thank you for using it for his glory!

[@janethouse4607]

MY grandmother was Murray from Scotland, grandfather NUNNERY, Was Irish. From USA NC

[@1951josef1951]

My paternal family lineage is Redmond and McLemore. Our ancestors came to the United States over a century ago. I thank the Lord for both your ministries and for the passion God has given you; passion that has inspired and encouraged the worship, adoration and praise of God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I deeply love the solid theology that under-girds your hymns. I've played guitar since I was 14. I am now 71. I've sung since I was a wee boy; my earliest memories are filled with singing. We shall keep you in our prayers. Oh BTW, I've been an Anglican clergyman for 36 years.

I’m not sure. McCloud is in my family tree, but we were always told that certain ancestor was Native American. I did my DNA a few years ago, no Native American, and a bit of Scottish ancestry among others lol came up. I’m basically a Heinz 57 according to my DNA 😆

[@followeroftheway8454]

Love all of the hymns you play. Great to live music.

[@shayneseltzer9052]

Let me tell you both I love listening to your music. I had a stroke ten years lost my speech. Now I can talk poorly, no singing at all. I’ve prayed for being able to sing. Someday I know I’ll sing with the heavenly choir. Your music is really enjoy. Thank so much.

[@PaulA-os9pb]

Mine is Anderson, no not converted from Swedish Andersen. DNA showed mostly English but I know that ancestors were marrying Irish women. But sadly can't find where they came from. Some genealogists say Ireland.

You are right about singing with your kids especially important during these days of separation and distancing to keep the faith alive in our children. I sing, and pray, and watch christian videos and music online in front of my daughter or with my daughter.

Woods, living in Missouri, USA. Family comes from County Antrim, but I'm not sure how many generations ago they came here or whether they moved to Antrim from Scotland, I've always assumed they did.

[@eladiocofresi5202]

Learning about the Scottish immigration to the United States seems intriguing. While I have no Scottish names in my family (and oddly five percent according to Ancestry,) names such as Duran and McClintock (like Kenneth McClintock) can be found in places such as Puerto Rico. As for how I came to learn of Steph, the desire to hear the song “In Christ Alone” after watching American Gospel led me to search for the song and your rendition came up.

This pandemic has been so difficult for all of us in many ways but at the same time it has been one of the best things that could have happened to the Church as a whole and individually. The Church basically has just been going through the motions for so long that they have let their brothers and sisters in Christ slip and fall. So in so many ways I am thankful for the pandemic because it is waking us up and coming back to our first love Jesus. I can honestly say if I wasn't a believer in Christ, I wouldn't have gotten through 2020 and presently. I had no one but my Lord Jesus and my Bible and I never pressed into more Jesus than through this pandemic. So grateful! So thankful! God is alive and He loves us and it's great to see the Church waking up and revivals breaking out all over the world. God is good...all the time. Hallelujah! Blessings always. ❤️

Thank you. My family name is Goldsmith from County Cork. The family escaped from Poland to Ireland and eventually migrated to England where my Grandfather married an English lady. Love the family singing no and St Patrick’s day family’s good. It was so beautiful natural and wonderful to see the family sing together in their home and just being wonderful children. A beautiful way to bring up children in a Christian home and together in marriage. I’m sure you are a wonderful inspiration to many Christian families. Just the way I envision bringing up our children too. Thank you. Beautiful! ♥️ love to Kristen and the beautiful girls.

Curious...why do you see Macleod spelled either Macleod/MacLeod or Mcleod? Never understood this. Could you give me some clarity? Thanks Steph! This was so interesting. My continued blessings to you and your family and for all who follow you. 💜😊🕊️🙏

[@ahighlander7278]

Rule of thumb, Mac is Scottish, Mc is Irish. Dont get caught up in the spelling, as, going way back many/most couldn't write and much public recording was done phonetically by non Scots. Be glad you're not a MacGilvary, Macgilivray, Macgilvray, MacGillivary, Macgilvery, MacGillvary!

[@amethystrosemaclaren5853]

@@ahighlander7278 Thanks! I kinda knew that but never hurts to get confirmation. Much appreciated. Have a wonderful week. Blessings always.💜

[@stephmacleod]

Great question! The answer is often debated too 😊. Macleod is one of the earliest Scottish clan names and the anglicised version of the Gaelic MacLeòid which means “Son of Leòd”. I could be wrong with some of this, but Leòd the original founder of clan Macleod was said to be of Viking descent (related to Olaf the Black). This is also challenged by historians. Leòd comes from the old Norse word “Ljótr” and was often paired with to say “Liótr-ulf” which means ‘ugly wolf’ 😁 Anyway, Mac is old Norse for “Son of...” So in the same way lowlanders had the name Donaldson, Highlanders were MacDonald. Hope that makes sense. So basically... Macleod means “son of ugly”🤣🤣🤣 Leod had 3 sons who ruled the Outer Hebrides and Skye; they were known as Macleod - sons of Leód. With the highland clearances to the Americas and Australasia, many non Scots abbreviated Macleod to Mcleod and the various other iterations as the surname was phonetically recorded that way. McLeod is an abbreviation but is essentially the same name. You can find out more on our clan website: clanmacleod.org/faq/ There’s also info on wiki and throughout the internet. There are pockets of McLeod’s in old Ireland. It’s often debated who came from where. I’d be surprised if Keith was wrong about the migration of the Irish. He knows far more than I do 😊

[@amethystrosemaclaren5853]

@@stephmacleod I find the MacLeod name rather fascinating and here's why, I am a MacLeod. Fact! I live up to the name and when I did research on it years ago understood that it meant ugly as in the fierce kind of ugly. I find that funny but I am in fact a MacLeod just the same and I am proud of it! Thanks much Steph. Truly appreciate your answering me back. God bless you and your family always. Keep the love light of Christ burning within. 😊💜🙏

[@amethystrosemaclaren5853]

I am also related to the Macdonald's.

[@carolm-c8870]

SMITH!!!🤣🤣🤣 Always thought it was English but my brother in Canada told me our history and we are from the ancient smith tartan, originally from Glasgow but had left and immigrated to South Africa a couple centuries ago. But then we in 1966 emigrated to Canada but now I live in northeast Scotland! We’ve come full circle back to the land of some of my ancestors!
