Rock That Doesn't Roll: The Story of Christian Music
![Rock That Doesn't Roll: The Story of Christian Music](/assets/artwork/1x1.gif)
Rock That Doesn’t Roll looks at how Christian music shaped the world we're living in now by telling individual stories from the peak era of the contemporary Christian music industry. In the 80s, 90s and early 2000s CCM grew into a billion dollar business that affected millions of evangelical young people. Through interviews with artists, industry players and average fans we trace the long-lasting personal, cultural and political impact of sometimes cringe-worthy music. Expect hilarious moments and heartfelt yearning, purity culture and conservative politics- all in equal measure. Whether you’ve deconstructed, come out or renegotiated your faith, we hope you feel seen. If you’ve never given Christian music any thought beyond a punchline, we hope you’ll gain a deeper understanding of a subculture that’s shaping the world around us now.

So well done ! Bravo
Subversive
Jan 15
I started listening to an episode about the Christian punk rock and ska era. I was so excited. It was very interesting and reminiscent. Then halfway through we started sneaking in gender ideology within the church. There’s a lot of subversive messaging in these podcasts. I was disappointed. You could almost tell by the NPR style editing that this was a potential outcome. Highly disappointed. Could’ve been great otherwise. Always sneaking sexual deviancy into Christianity. it should’ve been no shock. They were propping up the United Methodist Church early in one of these episodes. Also talking about how some Christian genres were just white colonialize versions of music that originated in other countries turned my stomach. This is a very leftist narcissistic academic podcast masquerading as a “hip” Christian culture commentary.

This is one of my favorite podcasts. I really enjoy the way they allow the artists to tell their stories and honestly express their faith journey. I love remembering going to the Christian bookstore to find the newest Michael W. Smith, DC Talk, Petra, and DeGarmo & Key albums! Those were special days. The DC Talk episode was a classic!
It’s ok

If you like this type of thing and don’t want the spin and tongue in cheek mockery of the music scene check out the Labeled Podcast. More real musicians that lived it.
