― max, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:03 (eleven years ago) link
Hi Max,Glad to hear you are a supporter. We hate the term fans. But thank you buddy for saying that. Glad to be here. Blessings to you and if you are on facebook please look us up. We do most of our social media there.

hi chrsagis bros, i hope the Lord employs some flashy panache when revealing Himself to each of us in a new way so He doesn't get mistaken for a sock.
― estela, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:17 (eleven years ago) link
estela, that is extremely silly
― the most astonishing writer on ilx (roxymuzak), Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:19 (eleven years ago) link
it's just a hope, please don't tear it down.

Chrisagis Bros,
Just wondering if there was a specific performance of "American Man" that you enjoyed the most. I know you played it at a lot of political rallies and stuff. Any stand-out memories of that?
― the most astonishing writer on ilx (roxymuzak), Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:23 (eleven years ago) link
Hi Gang,We didn't come on here to have you all being nasty with us. We really just came on to share our hearts. So we guess we will just say good night to each of you.
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:25 (eleven years ago) link
Roxy, we sing that song everywhere we go but we would say singing it with the writer of the song at our CD release with actress Lindsay Wagner would be our greatest memory of it. It is always a huge blessing to see folks who we have looked up to support our music.
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:27 (eleven years ago) link
Gang,So you know something... some of the pics on this website have got some great stories behind them. The one of us in jail in the blue shirts - that was a film that a school made and asked us to be in. We play two ding bats who are fashion models and who end up in jail for being scape goats for a bad guy. It was a fun film to make. As for the Christmas pic... we are always trying to make folks laugh. We are working on some TV stuff and we dressed up as Ralphie from the Christmas Story with Santa. The problem was we actually posed with a toy gun at a park and we didn't realize that state parks don't allow toy guns. So that one has a really funny story but hey we live and learn.
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:31 (eleven years ago) link
Oh BTW. the pic of us at the Courthouse singing holding hands... we were singing 4 of our patriotic songs for the Soldier's. One was American Man and the others were The Walls of 911 and I'm A Soldier. The last one was the old song the Judds would sing called LOVE CAN BUILD A BRIDGE and we asked everyone to hold hands and to start building bridges of love with one another. That is why we are holding hands.

― buzza, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:37 (eleven years ago) link
chrisagis bros, a lot of people on this site love your music, I hope you stick around
― iatee, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:37 (eleven years ago) link
I would say this site might have one of the biggest groups of chrisagis bros fans on the internet
― iatee, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:38 (eleven years ago) link
Also we would like to explain the outfits from the song JUMP UP in that video. The TV station and program that had us on... well they wanted to make a beach type scene and asked us to come dressed in the clothes we drove in with. We were going to change into suits but they wanted a beach scene so we had to wear those clothes. We drove to Augusta in one of the hottest days and then we go on... they made a mistake and turned on the wrong song which we hadn't sung for a while and we had to go with it. Hhahahaah! The beauty of live TV. Also we aren't sure of your ages but we always try to do a bit of Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis in our sketches so if you see us acting stupid and stuff that is the reason. We are working on a new film... it is going to be a Christian Comedy.
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:40 (eleven years ago) link
Iatee, we don't really believe any of you are fans of ours. We have support sites on facebook but we think you all just want to make fun of us. If you are supporters thank you. We try to make folks smile but we can't make everyone like us. We wish we could. But thanks for saying that. Blessings to you all.
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:42 (eleven years ago) link
Hi Buzza, Thanks for stopping by. Iatee, Thanks for saying that a lot of you like our music. This year we are nominated for best duo in Christian music by the Heritage Awards. We are up against a lot of groups but we are going to the Awards in Nov. we don't think we will win but we thank God that we were honored with the nomination.
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:44 (eleven years ago) link
bros, I play 'playing w/ life and death' for my kids all the time. it is a fantastic album. I don't really understand this site very well, I found it through google, but I think there are some other fans here.
― iatee, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:45 (eleven years ago) link
Checkout the Reality Show that we were asked to do: ( http://vimeo.com/24886250 ) Several groups came to us for a show and this was the promo.
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:46 (eleven years ago) link
hey chrisagis bros, good to have you on board!
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:49 (eleven years ago) link
Thanks Iatee, we really appreciate you loving our music. That was a fun CD and it was a group of songs that we really felt had a message that God wanted us to share. We did fun music videos from that CD and even with them being campy like the old Monkeys stuff they got the point across. Then we did RANSOM which has American Man and Split Second on it... that was our Dream CD because it really was the type of CD we always prayed we would do and we worked with Bob & Jayne Farrell to bring to life some of their songs to a new generation. Now we just finished a Worship CD with some original worship songs that will truly take you into the throne room in your prayer time. We hope you will like the new one. Much Love to you and your family. Thanks for the support it blesses our hearts. Please look us up on facebook and please keep us in your prayers. We need a prayer team.
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:50 (eleven years ago) link
Hi Call all Destroyer - glad to be here. Thanks for the welcome. :) :) We appreciate it.
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:51 (eleven years ago) link
I like the idea of a prayer team!
― iatee, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:52 (eleven years ago) link
Chrisagis Bros-
If there were one person in the world who you'd make an honorary third Chrisagis Bro, who would it be?
Genuinely curious,
gr8080
PS- you can't say Jesus, that's cheating! ;)

Hey guys! Didn't expect to see you on ILX! I saw you in the spring at a hotel in Jackson, Tennessee and was blown away... I've been a Facebook fan since then.
There are some people on here who are just pretending (and saying rude things accordingly) but I think for most of us the excitement is genuine. Thanks for answering questions!
- Conrad
― Confounded, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:55 (eleven years ago) link
Thanks Iatee... We are glad you do. No ministry can keep going out into the war zone these days without a covering. When our Mom and Nana were alive they were our prayer team but since they are now with the Lord - we still know they are the great cloud of witnesses cheering us on and praying for us but we also need a physical team here on earth praying. :) :) We are honored if you would commit to be ours. Much love to you.
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:55 (eleven years ago) link
if anyone else would like to join the prayer team, please email me iatee✧✧✧@hotm✧✧✧.c✧✧

PPS- loving the stories behind the photos. Who's dog is that?
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:59 (eleven years ago) link
GR8080 - that is a fun question... Hmmmmm... we would say all of you but you want a famous person right??? We know some folks will make fun of us for saying this one... but we would say either Tom Selleck or MacGyver. Hhahahahaha! Tom because we always wanted to look like him and never really made it. We stopped growing at 5'11 he is way taller than we are. We also really liked his values that he shares and his Character Counts group that he works with kids on teaching them the 10 commandments and stuff. MacGyver because we loved his show and we are directionally chalenged by nature.. we need MacGyver to get us to safety or help us when we are in messes. Hahahahahah!
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 03:59 (eleven years ago) link
I have an important question...which one of you is typing!!!
― iatee, Thursday, 20 September 2012 04:01 (eleven years ago) link
Guys are you going to do Evangefest next year as well?
― Confounded, Thursday, 20 September 2012 04:01 (eleven years ago) link
Conrad, Is that you??? We are soooo blessed to see you here. We need to get back out your way. We are trying to get a new tour together so tell some churches in your area to book us or even some events. Glad to answer some questions buddy. Blessings always.
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 04:01 (eleven years ago) link
Conrad, we haven't been asked to do Evangefest yet but please tell Beth to get us... if she is going to have one.
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 04:02 (eleven years ago) link
Maybe a weird question, but did either of you ever play Bible Bowl?
― the most astonishing writer on ilx (roxymuzak), Thursday, 20 September 2012 04:03 (eleven years ago) link
I expect to see Beth next week at a show so I will definitely tell her! Blessings!
― Confounded, Thursday, 20 September 2012 04:03 (eleven years ago) link
Gr8080, that is not our Dog. We had two dogs that died a long time ago and they were like our children. We have found it hard to replace them. This is Maria and Jerry Beyers dogs - they are the photographers. She does a great job on our pics and that Dog was a ham. Hhahaha! He wouldn't stay where we tried to put him and always got in our way. But a really sweet dog.
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 04:04 (eleven years ago) link
Thanks Conrad. We appreciate it. We may be working with Beth on a talk show sometime in the near future. We have a band with us now. We have a guitarist who played from Bruce Springsteen for several gigs and recordings and a great piano player who wasn't with us last time.
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 04:06 (eleven years ago) link
Iatee, we are taking turns typing. Hhahahaha! It is a twin thing... we should have said we are both here and we both use one figure each. Hahahahha! Just teasing. Thanks for starting a prayer team sweetie.
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 04:07 (eleven years ago) link
:)
― iatee, Thursday, 20 September 2012 04:07 (eleven years ago) link
Roxy, we can't say that we have ever done that. What is Bible Bowl???
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 04:08 (eleven years ago) link
If we missed any questions please let us know. We didn't do it on purpose.
Well gang we better say good night to you all and God Bless! Hope to chat more sometime and drop us a note on facebook. Love & Blessings to you all.
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 04:10 (eleven years ago) link
It's kind of like Scholar's Bowl if you have heard of that, except it's with different books of the bible. I played it as a kid and it's bug in some circles, but not everyone knows what it is. Anyway, just curious!
Goodnight!
― the most astonishing writer on ilx (roxymuzak), Thursday, 20 September 2012 04:10 (eleven years ago) link
Roxy, Thanks for letting us know.. we have heard of it now that you tell us how it is played but we haven't played it. Glad you did. That is awesome. Blessings to you and peace!!!
― Chrisagis Bros, Thursday, 20 September 2012 04:12 (eleven years ago) link
Thanks Terri. You are the BEST!!! Try to come for sure. We will sing American Man. We better call it a night sweetie. We will chat with you soon. Send us your email address so we can. Love & Blessings!!
― Chrisagis Bros, Sunday, 23 September 2012 00:40 (eleven years ago) link
Thank you both for spending your time chatting tonight! My email will be in your inbox! Love you both!

I'm not sure if anyone is here that is an admin but I have several people asking why they couldn't get logged in... I had a hard time too but I did make it in obviously... I hope we can reschedule another chat with the Brothers so those who couldn't make it would have a chance to talk with them too.
― TerriG, Sunday, 23 September 2012 00:50 (eleven years ago) link
terri, I believe it takes a while for admins to approve new logins. I think if people make them ahead of time, this will not be a problem for future chrisagis bros chats (of which I hope there will be many, really bummed I missed this)
― iatee, Sunday, 23 September 2012 00:52 (eleven years ago) link
Hhahahahaha!
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Sunday, 23 September 2012 04:04 (eleven years ago) link
Thanks Iatee, we appreciate your kindness and you getting back with Terri on this. We had several emails to our facebook about not being able to get on. We never realized that was the problem but we are grateful you got back with us on this. God Bless!
― Chrisagis Bros, Sunday, 23 September 2012 14:29 (eleven years ago) link
Gr8080,Not sure what you are laughing about. But it really wasn't funny that folks tried to get in but got their passwords too late. We don't really think we did anything that should call for laughter.
― Chrisagis Bros, Sunday, 23 September 2012 14:34 (eleven years ago) link
Hi guys, I was just quoting you from earlier. I like how you use "Hahahaha!" so much when you're chatting with us.
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Sunday, 23 September 2012 18:20 (eleven years ago) link
I like it too, but I feel like we should not laugh too much when there are still people who cannot log in
can the admins please look into this problem?
― iatee, Sunday, 23 September 2012 20:05 (eleven years ago) link
Thanks for explaining Gr8080. We appreciate you letting us know and thanks for liking the laughs on here.
― Chrisagis Bros, Monday, 24 September 2012 01:19 (eleven years ago) link
Iatee, thanks for trying to help. We really thought this site would be set up for chats. But that is fine. We just are happy that you all aloud us to try. :) :)
― Chrisagis Bros, Monday, 24 September 2012 01:21 (eleven years ago) link
You guys really enjoy chatting with fans, huh?
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Monday, 24 September 2012 01:26 (eleven years ago) link
Sad I missed the chat. I still think its a good forum for Q&As. I'm sure we can sort out the login issue.
― the most astonishing writer on ilx (roxymuzak), Monday, 24 September 2012 01:55 (eleven years ago) link
Gr8080,We truly do enjoy chatting with people and love our supporters. We appreciate them and really care about them. Life is a tough place and if we can all share a little sunshine through getting to know others, praying for them, or making them laugh it makes all the difference. Thanks for the posts. Hope you will come back and chat with us again. Blessings to you.
― Chrisagis Bros, Monday, 24 September 2012 06:26 (eleven years ago) link
Roxy,Thanks for wanting to be a part of the chat. We are having a friend make a forum that would be really easier to chat on. We will still come and visit you all but we aren't sure that chatting with a group works well in this website. We look forward to doing it again though. Have a great night and hope to get to know you better in the near future.
