Jason began a full-time career in Christian music in 1998 when he joined Tony Gore & Majesty. While traveling with Tony Gore & Majesty, Jason had the opportunity to sing in Ireland, Scotland, and London, England. In 2000, he was nominated as one of the top five young artists in gospel music by the readers of Singing News Magazine. In 2001 Jason was a part of the No. 1 song in America, “Blessed Be the Name of the Lord”. After five years with Tony Gore & Majesty, he joined the Down East Boys from Reidsville, North Carolina. While singing with the Down East Boys, he had the chance to travel into Canada and annually to the west coast. Jason has written five top 20 songs and had several album cuts throughout his 20-year career. He has been blessed to have sung on every major gospel music event in the U.S., as well as singing on three Gaither homecoming videos and concerts. After ministering full time for 15 years, Jason felt led to leave the road to be with his family. He has been married to his high school sweetheart, Theresa, for 32 years and they have three sons, Trisdon, Hunter, and Braden.
After leaving the road, Jason and Theresa moved their family back to Mississippi where they were originally from. They are currently based out of Florence, Mississippi, but Jason and Theresa now live fulltime on their RV traveling the country.
In May of 2013, Jason and Theresa launched Jason Runnels Ministries and in May of 2014 they took their family ministry full time. In April of 2018, Jason was ordained to preach. Jason has been preaching revivals, homecoming services as well as speaking for different types of conferences. In August of 2019, Braden Runnels joined his dad and The Runnels was formed. Although Braden has a full-time job, he travels as much as possible.
