Rock That Doesn't Roll: The Story of Christian Music

I cannot say enough good things about this podcast. I also grew up in the Christian rock sub culture, and was deeply affected by it in many negative and positive ways. I really appreciate that the hosts of this podcast are simultaneously critical and affectionate toward the subculture they are exploring. The interviews are fantastic, and I feel like I get to make friends with the artists that formed me. If I’d known how many Christian artists were grappling with the same questions I was, I might have felt less alone as a teen. Thankfully I can now, with this pod accompanying me.

I love this podcast! It’s very niche, for those of us who grew up in the ccm community (cult?) of the 90s and 2000s, but it’s both nostalgic and healing in many ways.

So well done ! Bravo

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.
