Les Butler Missionary Profile Podcast Season Three Episode 3
Monday Apr 20, 2026
Monday Apr 20, 2026
In this heartfelt, unique, and spiritually rich episode of the Missionary Profile Podcast, host Paul Douglas welcomes Southern Gospel broadcaster, singer, and preacher Les Butler for a powerful conversation centered on calling, endurance, and the eternal impact of Gospel music.
From his early beginnings to a lifetime spent proclaiming Christ through song and preaching, Brother Les opens up about how the Lord led him into what became not just a career, but a true ministry. He shares how Gospel music has been a tool God uses to convict hearts, encourage believers, and even call individuals into full-time service.
This episode draws a strong parallel between traveling music ministry and missionary deputation, as Les recounts the challenges of life on the road, including financial uncertainty, physical weariness, and spiritual battles, while also testifying of God’s faithful provision every step of the way.
A particularly moving portion of the conversation centers around moments when the Lord used a single song to deeply impact lives, whether bringing someone to salvation or stirring a call to ministry. One such message is beautifully captured in the truth behind the song “How Much More,” reminding us that if God cares for even the smallest parts of His creation, “I wonder how much more does He love you and I.” That truth echoes throughout this episode. God’s love is personal, powerful, and ever present.
Les also speaks candidly about the changes he has witnessed in Gospel music over the years, offering wisdom and caution for the next generation. His burden for preserving the integrity of the message is clear, especially as he discusses songs like “The Deal,” which boldly exposes spiritual warfare and the subtle tactics of the enemy in today’s media driven culture.
Beyond music, Brother Les shares how God has used him in preaching and mentoring young artists, emphasizing the responsibility of passing down truth with clarity, conviction, and compassion.

It reinforces the truth that every believer is called to be both a missionary and a pastor at heart, faithfully using their gifts to spread the Gospel and invest in eternity.
