Keith Green's Legacy: Spiritual seekers and Christian Punks

Published: May 2, 2021, 10:41 a.m.

Hey friends, (Christians and non-christians alike) welcome to this week's service where J and I discuss our experiences with Christian (crietsen) music. J shares the beautiful story of Keith And Melody Green. Two wonderful people who opened their hearts and homes to those in need and Jesus himself in the 1970's. Even for me (an ex-catholic and current atheist) their story is one of endless inspiration on navigating the human experience. We then take you on a journey through some Christian rock bands I discovered in my mid- teens through YouTube AMV multi-ship videos including Breaking Benjamin, Red and Falling Up. Then we move on to a topic I'm never far away from: pop-punk. We take a look at MxPx in particular and their shaky transition into more secular music captured in an iconic MTV show. So come on in take a pew (or don't because like you don't need to practice or even have a faith to be welcome here) and explore the trappings the label "Christian music" can bring and celebrate the life and legacy of Keith Green.
