Well, it happened again. Another Christian musician is claiming that they don’t believe in God anymore. And as usual, the response from the Christian community is very negative. Instead of hoping for the best for Jon Steingard (lead singer of Hawk Nelson), some fans are turning their backs on the band and getting rid of all their music. We’ll get into why we think this is a common occurrence these days, try to dissect his decision to turn away from Christianity, and our thoughts on obligations in the faith. Also, YOU CAN GO TO CONCERTS AGAIN...if you have a fancy hazmat suit. Bring on the summer festivals!! **we do not own any of the music used in this episode and no copyright infringement is intended**

Welcome to the 2nd installment of our Megachurch series! We’re keeping it in our home state this time. Join us as we dive into a church that is no stranger to controversy, NewSpring Church. Perry Noble was able to put together the largest church in South Carolina, but just couldn’t seem to hold on to it forever. It’s the ultimate story of success, rock bottom, redemption, and, of course, grace.
