Hey everyone, it’s Daryl Ty!
I’m really excited to reconnect with all of you after a short break. I’ve got a lot to share—some personal updates, new content across our platforms, and a special invitation to support something bigger than all of us.
As some of you know, I took a little time off due to my health, but I’m doing better now (praise God). While I was out, my brother JustMike stepped up in a big way and hosted the podcast for me. That’s family for real.
We also launched a brand-new show on theBookkeeper247 Podcast Network called “Adjustments with JustMike.”[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRGWmrf7QS2vm4dgccM9ogvsuFmUrLo0E]
The first 2 episodes anre already live and is broken into a few parts. In this newsletter, I’m sharing some but would really love if you liked, commented and shred. This really helps the algorithm and helps us stay relevant on YouTube. If you haven’t heard it yet, it’s raw, encouraging, and definitely worth a listen.
And of course, Behind the Mic, [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRGWmrf7QS2tbzMYpt9-g6rc08XO6d8QJ] is still going strong. I’ve hosted some episodes, and JustMike has taken over a few as well. We’ve got new conversations, real testimonies, and bold encouragement—right at the intersection of faith and culture.
🎶 On the music side, there’s a ton of new songs and albums on the site—too much to list here. If you head over to tbk247.com, you’ll find everything from Kingdom-minded trap to heartfelt worship vibes. We’ve been blessed with powerful submissions lately, and I want y’all to hear it all.
📺 We’re now streaming on Spotify with video and audio, and you can also find us on YouTube and Facebook. Wherever you are, we’re there—bringing you real stories, real faith, and real inspiration.
