The show is also part of Daniels’ non-denominational CrossPower ministries. Outside of the radio program, Brother Benny, as he’s known by his listeners and followers, ministers to numerous area folks and appears at many area churches, where he brings the mix of music and witnessing that are part of “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down.”
The radio show features mostly traditional gospel and Southern gospel music. As the years have passed, Daniels has also opened the program’s format to some more contemporary Christian music. He often plays requests.
As for this Friday’s gospel sing, Daniels will be joined by gospel artists The Diamonds and Jamie Hunter.
