>>Hallo everyone. This video is the best picture I can give you of one of my favorite bands: Anberlin. Yes, we will get back to the other posts, but I just wanted to share a snippet of my life outside the world of leadership. I hope you take time to check them out. Enjoi!

>>Hallo everyone! I hope the new year is being good to you, and you are being good to your New Year’s resolutions. I recently visited an Anberlin concert the other night at small place in Nashville, TN. Their set of music was amazing (look forward to a little bit about this band in the future). But during some of their songs I began to watch the band and the people. No longer did I partake in singing the catchy choruses and thoughtful lyrics, I stepped outside the experience and watched these other people singing and partaking in the experience. As I watched lead singer Stephen Christian step away from the microphone, and the crowd completely take over his lyrics and sing them themselves, I realized one thing “That song is no longer his.” Those lyrics wrote by him, or any other band member, is no longer their own and they don’t own it. These people, these fans, those in which those songs resonate with own it. It becomes and tells their stories, and they sing it like they wrote it themselves. It was truly a beautiful thing to see the connection between this crowd and the band; and to see that they transcended just normal excitement. Because for some is was release to sing those words and for others it was sharing their story with others. Copyright laws can’t keep an artist’s song from being stolen, because others will take it and let it tell their story too.

>>Here’s an idea: Will Christian music ever die? This is a really good article and just thought I would share it today. The ideas of music and what is “Christian” and “Non-Christian” is much more than labels that the music industry has put on music groups because as the music culture progresses these lines become very blurred. Comment on what you think about Christian Music and what it will look like five or ten years from now.
