Bored-Again Christians...we are everywhere

If you are like me, you like positive music. You love hearing great music. You wonder if you are the only one out there that wishes there was more "arty" faith-based music. The reality is that Christian radio just can't survive that way.

I guess one great way to overcome the safe sound is to have bands made up of Christians get a secular deal, market themselves as a secular band and make sure their songs have a positive message. Plenty of bands have done this. Mute Math, POD, Collective Soul, and plenty of bands that I am just now getting to know thanks to a new podcast I just found. I was about the 11,001st person to find it though.

Check out the Bored-Again Christian site and subsequent podcast. I DO listen to Christian radio but sometimes I want to take a chance. This will help you find that music you are looking for.

Peace

Any time someone mentions boredom and Christianity in , I immediately recall, and must recommend, Wild at Heart by John Eldgridge.

cf. http://www.amazon.com/Wild-Heart-Discovering-Secret-Mans/dp/0785287965

Reading this was an eye-openning, life-altering (and awakening) experience. When I read this book, it made me wonder about the 'tameness' of CCM.
