GENERAL CONFERENCE | THE SANCTIFIED SISTERS

The Sanctified Sisters weren’t just any gospel trio—they were Philadelphia’s funkiest response to modern revelation. Raised on a steady diet of church hymns and 80s R&B, these sisters didn’t just sit through LDS General Conference—they let it move them. And in 1986, after one particularly groovy session of inspired messages from prophets & apostles, they did what only The Sanctified Sisters could do: they turned it into a funk-fueled testimony.

The story goes that one Sunday afternoon, after watching conference on a clunky TV with an antenna wrapped in tin foil, the sisters had an epiphany. "Why does the world act like faith is just something you sit through?" one of them said. "The gospel has rhythm!" And with that, General Conference was no longer just a broadcast—it was a beat.

They hit the studio with nothing but a testimony, a synthesizer, and a tambourine their grandma swore belonged to Mahalia Jackson. The result? A holy groove so undeniable that even the most stoic saints found themselves toe-tapping to the truth. The track wasn’t just about hearing modern revelation—it was about feeling it. If Russell M. Nelson could testify with power, why couldn’t they sing it with soul?

With harmonies that could shake the pews and a groove straight from heaven’s playbook, The Sanctified Sisters made faith undeniably funky. The message? Follow the prophet, keep your testimony strong, and never, EVER, underestimate the power of a divinely inspired bassline.
