I grew up in a Christian home. Even Christian Rock was considered in some way evil. I would go down to the basement and listen to “bad” Christian rock mix tape on walkman. I am no longer Christian. I do find it interesting when artist like Pedro the Lion or Soul-Junk (insane rap, noise skronk, free jazz, Christian rock) who see the hypocrisy in the church, yet choose to critique the church instead of rejecting Christianity totally. The link is to an interview I did with Glen from Soul-Junk. Great interview! I grew up in a Christian home. Even Christian Rock was considered in some way evil.

I know there are bands at all levels of christianness, but a central tenet of evangelicism is conversion of others. That's at least a little creepy to us heathens. I think that suspicion represents the views of a lot of people on Christian rock. We're waiting for Sufjan to say "come to church and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior." As long as he doesn't do that, we're OK with it. Well done interview. It’s disingenuous to compare “Christian rock” with genres of music like hip hop.

As a Christian, and a deeply committed one, I am so thrilled when people like Andrew Beaujion can take an honest look at Christian culture (or lack of it) and not be biased from the start.

I wish more Christians and non-Christians could see each others’ side of the story more.

I know there are bands at all levels of christianness, but a central tenet of evangelicism is conversion of others. That's at least a little creepy to us heathens. I think that suspicion represents the views of a lot of people on Christian rock. We're waiting for Sufjan to say "come to church and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior." As long as he doesn't do that, we're OK with it. Well done interview. It’s disingenuous to compare “Christian rock” with genres of music like hip hop.

I do find it interesting when artist like Pedro the Lion or Soul-Junk (insane rap, noise skronk, free jazz, Christian rock) who see the hypocrisy in the church, yet choose to critique the church instead of rejecting Christianity totally.

I know there are bands at all levels of christianness, but a central tenet of evangelicism is conversion of others. That's at least a little creepy to us heathens. I think that suspicion represents the views of a lot of people on Christian rock. We're waiting for Sufjan to say "come to church and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior."

I do find it interesting when artist like Pedro the Lion or Soul-Junk (insane rap, noise skronk, free jazz, Christian rock) who see the hypocrisy in the church, yet choose to critique the church instead of rejecting Christianity totally. The link is to an interview I did with Glen from Soul-Junk.

I know there are bands at all levels of christianness, but a central tenet of evangelicism is conversion of others. That's at least a little creepy to us heathens. I think that suspicion represents the views of a lot of people on Christian rock. We're waiting for Sufjan to say "come to church and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior." As long as he doesn't do that, we're OK with it. Well done interview. It’s disingenuous to compare “Christian rock” with genres of music like hip hop.

I wish more Christians and non-Christians could see each others' side of the story more.

I'm glad you were willing to talk about this issue with the right frame of mind. It seems silly to approach the "Christian Market" so emotionally, like so many people who have commented on this post have. Intelligent people don't go saying, "Everyone who likes Rap is an idiot" just because they don't like it. In the same way, why should people react differently to the Christian scene any differently than any other scene? I also really appreciated how credible this guy was, cause I love David Crowder too, and for just the reasons that he's listed. He's very honest, and did his homework, and you did a great job of showing that. +joe Great interview. I’m glad you were willing to talk about this issue with the right frame of mind.
