I Love To Tell The Story

Steve Gilreath - I Love To Tell the Story

Dave Clark and Dusty Wells Season 3 Episode 58

“Where do you start when you build a museum?”

With those words, Steve Gilreath, Executive Director of the brand-new Christian and Gospel Music Museum in downtown Nashville, opened the ribbon-cutting ceremony on October 3, 2025.

On this new episode of I Love To Tell the Story, Dave and Dusty take the cameras to the museum for a fascinating, behind-the-scenes conversation with the one person who can truly answer that question. It’s an inspiring, can’t-miss look at passion, purpose, and the making of something extraordinary.

It’s almost as if Steve has spent his entire life crafting the perfect résumé for this moment—this unique challenge and opportunity to become the caretaker of the story.

Over the last three decades, his credits include a decade as the Producer of the Dove Awards, as well as a White House special presented by the GMA hosted by President George W. Bush featuring CeCe Winans, Bill Gaither, Michael W. Smith, Blind Boys of Alabama, Steven Curtis Chapman and more.

He also founded the K-LOVE On Demand Network, creating hundreds of new shows that feature music in unique settings, including a chance to direct four different shows from Red Rocks Amphitheater. The 2023 event with 10 artists premiered in theaters nationwide as a Fathom Event.
