In a previous interview, Bowman Jr. shared how he got led into full-time ministry singing Gospel music.
"I'm an industry kid. ... Actually, I got my first stellar nomination when I was 12 years old. I didn't know anything about what I was doing. I knew that I had a gift to sing. I knew that I loved to sing. And I knew that my family sung," Bowman Jr. told TPi Zone. But when I [turned] 16, I was working at my local church. And really God began to speak to me when I developed a relationship with Him.
"When I developed a relationship and ear to really hear from Him, He really began to speak to me about what I was supposed to do, and I knew I was supposed to be called to sing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
He continued: "God has really been the driving force in my life. So really, I give all the glory to Him. ... I have really been setting out on this journey really on assignment. And all these extra doors, I never thought I'd be speaking and teaching. I thought I'd just be singing. And because of my testimony of celibacy and saving myself until marriage now I'm traveling around the world speaking to couples and singles about really upholding what the Scripture says about not having sex until marriage."
