- In October 2020, host Eric Huffman and the Maybe God team drove five hours north, to a sprawling ranch outside of Dallas, to spend the day with country music legend Randy Travis and his wife, Mary. Despite being one of the best-selling country artists of all time and a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Randy's life has been anything but easy. Since 2013, he's been wheelchair-bound and unable to speak more than just a few words. Through it all, Randy and Mary have refused to give up hope. Watch Eric and Randy's full interview exclusively on our TH-cam channel.

What a beautiful interview...I loved every minute of it! Their little Yorkies are adorable, too!
God Bless You Randy and Mary.
Randy Travis has always been one of my favorite male singers. I hope and pray for continued healing for him. God bless you sir!
Randy Travis is my best of all time. Love from Kenya. We love your songs.
So glad that Randy survived. It was understandably a most trying situation. Randy and Mary are such a blessing. I’d hope to meet them someday. God bless’

I just finished listening to High Lonesome before catching this. I recently went through a pretty bad tbi & came to better understand the struggles people go through when they can’t effectively relay their thoughts and feelings to other. I’m guessing that’s weighed heavily on Randy. He’s definitely inspired a ton of people and seems to have found peace with Jesus. Having Mrs. Mary by his side truly is a blessing. May the Good Lord continue to watch over them.
Prayers ,love, hugs to you both! God Bless
This is absolutely AWESOME. Anyone who is worried about him ( because let’s face it when you love somebody it doesn’t matter WHY you love them; even if it is JUST because they sang some songs that have brought you out of massive depression, or helped you to relate to the way that you were feeling, or simply just showed you that they are awesome as a person And you love their voice !) well this video shows that he is still right there and still smiling . His life is most definitely harder than it was and he has his struggles; yet, it seems from what we just learned that Randy Travis always had some struggles in his life and that he did not grow up easy. He is an easy person to love and his fans will love him to his last breath and beyond. I wish that he would sing more because I’m sure that he loves to sing. And it doesn’t really matter to me , and I’m sure it doesn’t really matter to a lot of other people who love him , if his voice is not as strong or he misses words. He is Randy Travis ; the first singer who I learned to love when living in the American south . I know every word to all of his songs and for me his personality in his music was everything. There is an entire huge part of my life all wrapped up with his music. Mr. Randy Travis is a massive gift to so many of us and we love him - truly love him dearly . He took care of us with his music and we treasure him in return .
Bless you both and Randy you are so very lucky u have a beautiful Lady like Mary .🙏🙏❤️❤️Randy is trying very hard he’s got a beautiful smile.all the very best to you both.AMEN🙏❤️❤️
I enjoyed listening to this and hearing what God has done for both. He answers prayers!
I can relate about the alcoholic dad. My dad was the same way. He was in Vietnam War and started drinking heavily afterwards.
Thank u randy u my favorite singer still are and your song good intentions is actually bout my life too i lost my mom early in my life at age 9 back in 1989 when she was only 33
Just wanted to say Randy Travis has always been my favorite Listening to this has made me appreciate and love him more. Whenever I'm down I always put his songs on. Its what has gotten me thru so much sorrow Thank You Randy I have kept u in my daily prayers from the moment I heard u were sick. I cried like a baby. To see what u have been thru amazes me how far u have come. God bless u.
😘
The best of the best. Raw and real talent. Nothing like this type of country music. Next to this would be Keith whitley
I’ve watched a LOT of pieces with Randy and Mary. This is hands down the very best by far. What an absolute blessing to have this time to share true faith and hope on the journey. Thank you so much. ♥️
Thanks for the love, Sherry! We loved getting to spend time with Randy and May :)
I love Randy's gospel album 🙌✨🙌
God bless you all for your open approach.
Randy Travis has always been one of my favorite singers FOREVER AND EVER AMEN. Mary thank you for bringing back to us.
This guy is my second favorite singer behind Haggard. His songs have gotten me through so many bad situations in my life. His voice is beautiful, His songs are the best…and it’s a damn shame he’s here doing this interview with his lady speaking. This is a man legend and that’s one thing that can’t be taken away.
I grew up listening to Randy. Love him even more now.
Smart way to interview including yes or no reactions. You can really see he comprehends everything. Too bad he won’t recover to sing again, but a blessing he lived. A total legend
A total blessing indeed! Thanks for listening!
@Random Updates what a horse crap response. The dude isn’t even 70, he has made strides recovering thus far. He will recover enough to perform in an entertaining way. I’ve known older men with worse health who recovered from debilitating strokes enough to return to their previous activities and hobbies.
He will never ever be like he was.
@Random Updates exactly!! This interviewer was amazing framing yes and no comments and questions. Randy didn’t look bored like in other interviews. So happy he truly got to interact.
He sang "Amazing Grace" AFTER he had his stroke, so there's always hope! The part of your brain that affects SPEECH is separate from the part of your brain that allows you to SING...I'm serious! I had an uncle who had a severe stroke and never spoke again, however, he could sing, which was amazing.
The thing with alcohol is most of time it’s to late when kids are older they never for get
I have followed Randy Travis thru the years I was big fan, he talked about his father was an alcoholic, I to had a father that was also alcoholic, he died 2 days before his 42nd birthday, he could play any musical instrument, but he could not read the music notes. I miss him everyday.
We're so sorry to hear that, Cindy. But we're thankful that you can find some peace in Randy's music and remember your father in that way! Thanks for checking out our interview with him :)
RIP TO your father.
Great interview! Clearly Randy is making a lot of progress and I'm hopeful he will only continue to get better
Thank you Theo! We're hopeful too :)
Wonderful interview. Randy Travis all your music and your life is amazing. Prayers, love, light, strength, peace, wisdom, blessings.
Annabells wish and other Christmas movies 💖 Annabells wish was my son favorite as a kid now at 23 he is getting married 🙂 annabells wish was back in97.into. oh my how terrifying 2013 was. Yes to how the Bible works and music 🎶 works truth.
Randy and Mary...❤️❤️🦾🙏🏽🙏🏽
Absolutely, amazing. I am not a fan of AI; however, this is fantastic and I love what they are doing for you. I can't wait to hear your voice again, but more of the words and the passion you have shared with us over the years. Randy, I met you at Church in Maui, many years ago, and you were so kind. It was a moment I'll never forget. Today, I work with blind, people with challenges, and have raised funds for heart patients, and our first recipient is graduating next year at a deaf school in the Philippines. I'd love to connect as we have 2 IP's and one which I would love to work with you and donate all the proceeds for a charity of your choice. Love you Randy.
RANDY is one of the country singers that my took .e to see (Paul was in a wheelchair in the isle of the place in Nashville it was Randy Travis and Alan Jackson we enjoyed it very much
We love you Randy Travis
Thank you for the music 🎶❤
I love this, absolutely love it
No excuse for mean and malicious fathers. They might not be able to control themselves at times when there's no one to hold them accountable, but they do indeed know better. The difference back then than now is they got away with being mean, well they can't do that anymore without major consequences. Them being raised rough is no excuse, it's still up to them to decide to do right or not, they STILL knew better. For the many who were mean by a bad raising, there's probably many more who wasn't mean from it. How I know this?... because I went thru probably worse than Randy did, and I despise the idea of being like them. I REFUSE to carry on generational curses, and I REFUSE to be a victim.
I love 2 hear him sing wooden crosses
Welcome back
Yes, just like guitars for vets get the instruments and art to the children. G4V God bless you all and the USA.
Love ❤️ your little doggie 🐾♥️

God had a plan , here it is, cause a TBI, then take away his singing ability, and add paralysis and constant pain, then what? A nd for what reason? To teach the rest of us a lesson in ...?
God blessed Travis

Randy ur no 1in my book
I was baptized in 2001 ❤
God bless you. My mother's name was DeAnna. She was a wonderful lady.
I wonder if Randy sings in his mind?
Loren and travis music
RANDY , you look so sad, please tell me you are happy with the way you live life now? I see a sad , unhappy man. Tell me you want to sing again
. Are you happy?
Thanks for checking this out Joeann! He was in very good spirits the day we recorded this actually - showed us around his property, loved on all of his animals, and shared many laughs with us. Unfortunately the stroke left him unable to talk or sing, but he's done some performances in recent years with other country artists. You can find some of them on TH-cam or his social media channels!
@@MaybeGodPodcast I just miss him so much, it breaks my heart
Strokes frequent leave the person with inability to show facial expressions....
We see that beatiful heart of yours so precious. I pray you will be totally well again I can. See you are loved, a gift.Will keep praying for you and Mary.When you are loved so much. when Josh Groban sings He lifts me up I think of you and pray for you and my sister always. Love you listen to you and George everyday.
I believe everything will be better again
You have came so far.I love you very much .Prattville Al.

I’ve loved Randy since the 80’s. He got sick in July of 2013 but was blessed to continue living. My dear husband had been fighting pancreatic cancer since 2009 and succumbed to it in August of 2013…it’s such a wonderful miracle that dear Randy is still here…stirring up such happiness…❤️🙏🌹
Mary was married to a dentist, had an affair with Randy…
I was hoping someone who say something !! She acts like she’s all that!!! She’s just in it for the fame and money! She is the one who caused him to be this way!!!
Should have stayed off the negative part of his life
