My 18 year old son plays in a "rock" alternative band, but they are all Christians. They feel like they can be a positive influence in a very warped world. He is very devout, would never touch alcohol or drugs and is very adamant and outspoken about his stand on premarital sex. He plays shows, but has not played in places where they serve alcohol. They are not blatantly gospel in their lyrics, but the lyrics are clean. He really feels a call from God to reach into the rough places and be a light. Some of you would probably not agree with this, and I was leery at first, but I have seen the fruit of his life and the teens that he has reached through his witness.
Do I like the music? NOT AT ALL - it's definitely not my style. But then my parents hated my music too. I have put him in the hands of God and now I have to trust him to make his own decisions.
