Fred is a beast in the gospel music industry!!! Thank you Lord for using him for your glory! He has a distinctive voice and beautiful way of writing lyrics.❤
Fredaholic here 😊 He sings about The LORD. He sings to The LORD our God. He sings for The LORD. May Adonai Elohim continue to bless, protect and increase your ministries. 🙏🏽 After watching this entire episode, I understand why “Praise Belongs to You” sounds similar to “Part Time Lover” and “Take Care of You” like “Devotion” 😊
FRED HAMMOND is and will always be THEE SOUNDTRACK OF OUR LIVES! He got us through some tough and happy times. Fred is the GOAT. PERIOD!!! WE LOVE YOU FOR EVER...THE FRED HAMMOND. THANK YOU. GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU NOW AND EVER.🫂😘💪🏾
Fred has a way in songwriting that can speak to you where you are, and give you the words to speak to God! From Running Back to You, Give Me a Clean Heart, Show Me Your Face , and my absolute favorite, Take My Hand. The words speak on an intimate level that sometimes couldn’t be expressed when crying out to the Lord.
Oh Wow!! Do you remember the "In The House" Cd's Fred produced with Integrity music? Praise in the house, Worship in the house with Keith Staten, Word in the house and a couple more. The arrangements Fred did with those songs by Integrity music were wonderful. Those along with Inner Court and Spirit of David were my favorites. And of course the Christmas Cd Fred did called "A strange way to save the world."
"Would you take this?" had me me in tears because this has been a problem in my life but since I prayed for it God has shown me ppl in my life with the same issues in their life.....what ever it is p**n, addiction, anything give it to God and He'll take care of it....AND YOU
I m with this guy. I have listen to. Fred. When first. Commission. Cassette tape. Come out. And when. The first radical. For christ coms. On. Cassette. Fred. Is Different
The key to freedom is coming out of the shadows. It’s the one thing that robs that failure of power, but it’s the thing we fear doing the most. Get with a trusted brother who will walk through it with you, and hold you accountable, and pray with you and for you. Confess your faults to one another that you may be healed! I’m walking that journey right now, and I want to encourage you that freedom is out there!
This was real. This was Honest. This was everything. Fellow Fredaholic here....Blessed to witness this interview/podcast segment. Subscribed! Keep winning Kingdom fam! Fred is a living Legend. We appreciate you Mike! Thanks for making this happen. We needed it!
“Prodigal Son” brought me back to God from a backslidden state and “Jesus Don’t Pass Me By” deepened my cry in prayer to God. “Jesus Be a Fence” was fire🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you for blessing us with your gift ❤️❤️❤️
God bless you Fred Hammond! You have no idea how far your music reached. I am a Congolese (french speaking) and my brother introduced Commission to us when we lived in South Africa. Your music carried us in our christianity and still does today. My whole family ( husband and 4 children) know your songs in and out. May the Lord bless you!!!
We love you and thank for all you have done. I was at a lowest point your music from the past pulled me through and I will forever be grateful thank you Mr. Hammon.. To God be the Glory ❤❤❤❤
This interview/podcast was very inspirational and soul quenching as well as informative. I really felt connected with Fred here as I felt he was very transparent, genuine and authentic as well as humble with a desire to learn and share his gift with as many people as possible and possibly inspire anyone who has gets a connection to their soul. Thank you guys for doing this and posting it.
"We're blessed in the city, we're blessed in the fields, we're blessed when we come and when we go..." We used to sing this song on Sunday mornings at our church.
Fred is the best male voice in music period. Everytime he sings I get chills and feel warm and toasty at the same time😂 AND of course Michael tone is like keri gold butter 🧈. This interview was gold to me!!!
Wow, I was so blessed by this. I don't truly have the words. Fred is my hero! Thank you, Brothers, for doing this. I'm so inspired by this, as I am transitioning into God's purpose for my life.
Dope interview. I came to the Lord at 15 in August 27, 1997 and Pages of Life was the most important piece of my worship aside from the Word of God. Id study that album (Chapter 2) and steal the pocket of McQuitty for years to come. Still saved, still making music for the Lord in 2024. I thank the Lord for FH & RFC ❤
This Podcast was GREAT!!!! ❤️❤️🔥🔥 I have always loved Fred Hammond’s style….Just anointed and so humble!!! I listened to ALL of Commissioned music as well as Fred H. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥😘😘❤️
Thank you for this. I’ve been moved recently to get closer to God and fix my relationship with Him. I’m 27 and for many years have wandered blindly, as a young kid, I wasn’t taken to church much by my parents, but when I’d stay at my best friend’s house on saturdays, his mom would take me to church with them the next morning, and it was a black church that would play some of the most amazing music. Fred Hammond and Commissioned has been on repeat as of late and “Running Back To You” hit me so hard the first time I heard it recently. I was in tears, thanking God and praying and felt so good afterwards. Thank you both for all of y’all’s contributions to gospel music. I am forever changed 🙌
Hands down one of the best interviews I’ve watched in 2024. You couldn’t find a bigger 10/11 year old Fred Hammond fan in the 90’s/early 00’s. This made my heart happy 🥰
Bro Fred is a musical genius!! Been following his journey since high school. Confidence I graduated in 94’. I remember them day. Popping them cassettes in the tape recorder and jamming.
Hi Michael! Excellent interview! You are the perfect person to interview Fred! You asked all the relavent questions! Fred's music was always authentic. His music carried me through so many. Thanks again
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 best interview of the year! Forget Shay Shay & Katt. This! I'm singing & cheesing and just enjoying! Every last 1 of those albums got me thru my worst & best times. Teenager to now.
❤❤❤❤This INTERVIEW had me 😢😢 in a chokehold! Blessings to you both Mr. Fred Hammond Your gift has truly made room for you! Your songs have gotten me through so many difficult moments and times even to this date. ❤❤❤Thank you both for an incredible interview.
I LOVED THIS! I feel there’s so much more to draw out of Fred and you did an excellent job of facilitating Fred sharing his heart and his journey. This feels like episode 1 of a 10 part series. Fred is my biggest musical inspiration. I would pay good money to hear more of his journey and his perspective. P.S - Radio Fred was way ahead of its time. Me and my brother would listen in the UK to EVERY episode. Now everyone is doing podcasts but once again Fred was ahead of the game. Would love to see it come back with visuals.
Freds music brought worship to our generation. His music put us on our faces before the Lord. I remember meeting Fred and giving him a cd of my music in Atlanta. He was very graceful. Then I worked with him and his brother as an engineer in Maryland at Evangel Cathedral. I loved working with them.
This was a phenomenal conversation thank you Fred Hammond for sharing with us I have worshipped with your music from commissioned days may God continue to bless and keep you always sir
🎯FRED Hammond's songs-- I can say soooo much, but man, the album 📖"Pages of Life"📖 has been a blessing to me... 26 years ago, I had 2 miscarriages. I was doing my best to stand in faith on God's Word🗡 to have a child. The ENTIRE album helped me thru hard times, but esp ✝️All Things Are Working, and✝️ Your Steps are Ordered. After 4 pregnancy losses, I now have a 25 year old son, and a 16 year old daughter. That SAME ALBUM has been on repeat and is currently getting me through some tough times. I want to THANK YOU (and your team) for allowing the Lord to use you with all with these songs. Stay in His Inner Court! ❤🙏🏾. God bless you! 🙏🏾❤️🙌🏾
Mannnn I enjoyed every minute of this conversation! So many beautiful songs. My Father Was/Is makes me cry every time. One of the first things my mom taught me was God is my father who will always be there.
I am like Mike. If I ever had a chance to talk to Fred I will “THANK YOU “. Him and his music got me thru some rough times sad times happy times and times of worshipping. OMMMGGG!!! I feel like I know him personally because he’s been there. Whether he knew it or not. I felt him when I knew he was going through. Well I take this opportunity. Praise God and keep Blessing people. ❤
Fred is looker better than I have seen him in years. His muuuuzzic is the soundtrack of my life from a young Christian to today. Running back to you!Lord, please him safe and make him well because I love him and I want him around for a long time. He is a WORSHIPPER !! Authentic as they come?❤
Incredible. Impactful. Impressive. Thank you, Michael and thank you, Fred. My heart is full. From beginning to end, this episode had me locked in. Shoot, the last 10 minutes of this interview were jam-packed full of jewels. Whewwwww!
❤❤we think God is only looking at us when we’re thinking about Him❤❤ Never had an interview move me to tears. Thank God for your gift and your anointing
Fred Hammond, Love you and everything you do! We are the same age. Love you with Commissioned, RFC and FK&M!!! May God continue to bless you as you continue to bless us!!❤❤❤❤
Mannnn, this interview put a lot of stuff in perspective for me. I lived through that movement of God and was loosely in and out of some of the things you all are speaking about and Winans run too..Thank you for following Holy Spirit's lead. It supported my disciplined journey in Christ. WOW!! Bless the Lord!!
I can truly say that this conversation has blessed my soul! It has been an encouragement to me. What Fred is to you is what I've been looking for in my walk; someone who not only inspires me but also provides space for that creative outlet and expression. I'm a drummer and I play around with beat-making but I haven't found the right circle to really bring out what's in my heart, what I know is my passion. But to hear Fred say some things that I have felt in my heart has been truly encouraging. You got to put the work in and trust that God will handle the rest. He will elevate you in due season. I constantly tell myself this
The Spirit of David album is my favorite!! My girls love it too! They are 36 and 30 and they remember me playing it all the time! It was our traveling music. I had the cassette tape that they grew up on.
Uncle Fred & I grew up together in the PA of W. Watching his ministry evolve has been nothing less than awe inspiring. If I have to choose a favorite I'll have to go with the entire Live in Chicago @Navy Pier, my go to album when the battle is raging. I also love Lord Your Grace which oftentimes is the song to hit my spirit first thing in the morning
Thank you so much for this episode. Fred Hammond has been an integral part to my life. I received so much instruction and understanding for my life. My family joke about how we are “related” to him lol! But truth be told, his life has been weaved into ours in such a way, whew. Thank you
THIS WAS A SUPER INTERESTING CONVERSATION!!! I’m not a musician at all but I loved listening to Fred Hammond! This dude is like the George Duke of gospel music!!
I just shared the song "Running Back to You", which I listened to probably fifty times after being involved in a lustful relationship as a married man and a church leader with a brother who had been struggling with pornography. And it STILL speaks Hope and deliverance. Thank you, Fred!
I love the transparency of the “I CAME TO JESUS AS I WAS” moment. I’m a HUGE B side fan. Thank you Fred Hammond. Your worship has carried me through love, marriage, child birth, anger, separation, depression, pain, divorce, single mom triumphs, learning and loving myself again. THE MENDER OF THE BROKEN HEART can and will heal! The reciprocity of your voice and truth has helped countless people PRESS! We love and appreciate your work and we love and appreciate you!❤💯
Hello Fred! If you read this, you know my family. Ever since I heard "Blessings and Honor" I wanted to suggest that you make an album just like that and title it "Sweeter Than Honey". I had the chance to meet you in Baltimore at a concert my Aunt promoted with Comission and Witness. I used to cradle both of my sons while listening to your worship catalog. God bless you and all those who have followed your amazing journey. You're a great bassist too!
Love how he took the focus off of us (our issues) & placed it where it belongs…on God! True worship 🙌🏼 Love me some Fred 🙏🏼 I was blessed to come to the warehouse in Dallas years ago for the Tenors album listening party…Took a picture with Fred & my mama still got it up on her wall 😄
It was such an Awesome and Amazing to hear Papa Fred share "so many nuggets" on this podcast episode. I honestly cannot wait to hear the next one! To than I say Thank you
Thank you for your heart, honesty, realism and for sharing your imperfect heart for God with us, coz this draws us to God. This podcast has to be a certified favourite because Micheal went from "I'm Persuaded" to date and I could tell the relationship and chemistry between both Fred and Micheal was real .... while I have never seen Fred perform live in South Africa .... I am glad Micheal came to my Church (Durban Christian Centre) and shared with us his heart for God .... and I am glad that a huge part of it was shaped by God from Fred Hammond's overall ministry.... Thank you again for this ..... love and love only to the both of you.
And Mike Bro, keep singing sir…thanks, this was a blessing…I don’t know if Fred really knows how many people he has touched for God. Real life touches real people when the Lord leads the life. Like everyone else, Thank you Fred for living out your God given purpose. It has helped millions find Him and stay saved.
anyone else taking 4 hours to watch this video because every time a fred/commissioned classic is mentioned, you have to go listen to it 3-4 times??? 😂❤❤❤❤
Man I’m so grateful that I came across this podcast 🙏🏽❤️. Fred Hammond and Marvin Sapp are literally in my top 5 artists in my apple replay this year. Then I got Robert Glasper, Kendrick Lamar. But Radical For Christ is #4, so that’s just Fred Hammond taking up 2 slots in there 😂
The same guy who's always laughing in the background of Tim Ross' podcast... is also laughing in the background of this one. 😂😂😂 I love it. Fred Hammond is one of my absolute favorites.
Dokta Fred Hammond you were in my car speakers along with Commissioned during my days in police academy! My cousin made a bunch of CDs for me to disciple light. From 1993 till today you've been my favorite ❤
Fred is a beast in the gospel music industry!!! Thank you Lord for using him for your glory! He has a distinctive voice and beautiful way of writing lyrics.❤
Fredaholic here 😊
He sings about The LORD.

IM ALL EARS- when Fred speaks on his music. He doesn’t do many interviews, so this is a treat!🙌🏾
“Prodigal Son” brought me back to God from a backslidden state and “Jesus Don’t Pass Me By” deepened my cry in prayer to God. “Jesus Be a Fence” was fire🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you for blessing us with your gift ❤️❤️❤️
“Running back to you”❤❤ is literally my all time favorite Commissioned song!❤❤
Mine too!

One of my favorite upcoming gospel artists! Duane Caleb🫱🏾🫲🏽 love to see it!!

To call it a masterclass would be an understatement.
Thank you for this.
#excellence
THIS WAS A SUPER INTERESTING CONVERSATION!!! I’m not a musician at all but I loved listening to Fred Hammond! This dude is like the George Duke of gospel music!!
Crazy...Running Back to You was the first song I ever heard from Commissioned. That opened me up to their excellent music.
I just shared the song "Running Back to You", which I listened to probably fifty times after being involved in a lustful relationship as a married man and a church leader with a brother who had been struggling with pornography. And it STILL speaks Hope and deliverance. Thank you, Fred!
This is so timely for me!😊 Thank you Lord for these two gentlemen.
He is truly an highly Anointind man of God in his praise and worship, and the viose is the truth
I love the transparency of the “I CAME TO JESUS AS I WAS” moment. I’m a HUGE B side fan. Thank you Fred Hammond.

God bless you and all those who have followed your amazing journey. You're a great bassist too!
We need a Commissioned film ASAP!
Love how he took the focus off of us (our issues) & placed it where it belongs…on God! True worship 🙌🏼 Love me some Fred 🙏🏼
I was blessed to come to the warehouse in Dallas years ago for the Tenors album listening party…Took a picture with Fred & my mama still got it up on her wall 😄
I’m full right now. All I can say is THANK YOU!
Just listening to your music Uncle Fred I experienced The Holy Spirit. Thank you for your Music and allowing the Holy Spirit through His Son Jesus.
It was such an Awesome and Amazing to hear Papa Fred share "so many nuggets" on this podcast episode. I honestly cannot wait to hear the next one! To than I say Thank you
Thank you for your heart, honesty, realism and for sharing your imperfect heart for God with us, coz this draws us to God. This podcast has to be a certified favourite because Micheal went from "I'm Persuaded" to date and I could tell the relationship and chemistry between both Fred and Micheal was real .... while I have never seen Fred perform live in South Africa ....

Thank you again for this ..... love and love only to the both of you.
A giant thank you to Fred Hammond. Those songs…..so many trials, so many storms. But those songs…..Jesus and those songs….🥲
Thank you Uncle Fred, Spirit of David album is my favorite
The host sang with Kirk Franklin on Kirk’s Tiny Desk performance.
LOVE THE CANDIDNESS AND HONESTY❤️❤️❤️
Well worth two hours of my time. Thanks to both of you.
Michael, thank you for this podcast!!! I am grateful!!

Great interview packed with insights
OMGOODNESS!! LORD, YOU ARE MY SONG / SYMPHONY!!!! YES GOD!!!

Soooo....Informative!
anyone else taking 4 hours to watch this video because every time a fred/commissioned classic is mentioned, you have to go listen to it 3-4 times??? 😂❤❤❤❤
Oh wow! I never thought of intercession like that! Just being there.
sooooo important to get these interviews in with Fred Hammond from now. I just absolutely love this!!
Man I’m so grateful that I came across this podcast 🙏🏽❤️.
Fred Hammond and Marvin Sapp are literally in my top 5 artists in my apple replay this year. Then I got Robert Glasper, Kendrick Lamar. But Radical For Christ is #4, so that’s just Fred Hammond taking up 2 slots in there 😂
Thank you for that it was a beautiful conversation 🥹🥹🥹
This was a really really good interview. A lot of great stuff to chew on!
The same guy who's always laughing in the background of Tim Ross' podcast... is also laughing in the background of this one. 😂😂😂 I love it. Fred Hammond is one of my absolute favorites.
Yes I thought the same. I said that gotta be him 😂
@czhanell Had me cracking up! 😂😂😂
@@meek0514 yeah as soon as I heard it I was hollering and said yup that's him. That distinctive laughter 😂
Enjoyed the conversation 🙏🏽🤗💙🥰🎼!!
Dokta Fred Hammond you were in my car speakers along with Commissioned during my days in police academy! My cousin made a bunch of CDs for me to disciple light. From 1993 till today you've been my favorite ❤
Soon as I thought I couldn’t love Fred “my husband” Hammond anymore, he says he likes to sleep 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love me some Fred Hammond. I listen to his songs just about every day. Especially, when I'm driving.
Thanks God!
