Known for hits that have shaped modern gospel music, Hairston shared how, over the past few years, his focus has shifted away from chasing relevance within the industry to wholeheartedly pursuing God’s will at every moment. “You can be so focused on being relevant, that you lose sight of being effective and aligned with God’s purpose,” Hairston explained. Now, his heart is set on ensuring that every performance and project is a reflection of divine direction.
A key part of this spiritual journey is the impact of his wife’s “Ancient Oil” conference, birthed five years ago. What started with a single speaker has grown into a remarkable gathering with powerful voices like T. Renee Glenn, Pastor John Hannah, Apostle Brandon Flag, and Latrice Ryan, all working together to create life-changing encounters.

For gospel fans and believers alike, JJ Hairston’s renewed focus promises new music, authentic ministry, and a celebration of faith rooted in purpose.
