MAN:
When we get together,
2
00:00:19,220 --> 00:00:21,489
let's never forget
3
00:00:21,622 --> 00:00:24,792
all of the saints
in the underground,
4
00:00:24,892 --> 00:00:28,329
going down for their faith
in Jesus.
5
00:00:28,462 --> 00:00:30,531
So every single person here,
6
00:00:30,664 --> 00:00:33,467
if you call yourself
a Christian,
7
00:00:33,567 --> 00:00:36,637
I want us to join
together in prayer
8
00:00:36,737 --> 00:00:39,573
for persecuted church,
right now.
9
00:00:39,707 --> 00:00:41,842
Father, right now
in the name of Jesus,
10
00:00:41,909 --> 00:00:46,514
we declare breakthrough,
breakthrough, breakthrough!
11
00:00:46,647 --> 00:00:50,484
And we say, Jesus,
precious in your sight
12
00:00:50,584 --> 00:00:54,322
is the bloodshed of
your faithful ones.
13
00:00:54,422 --> 00:00:59,327
When I count to four, I want
you to break those chains.
14
00:00:59,427 --> 00:01:02,563
And as a praise of
offering to Jesus,
15
00:01:02,663 --> 00:01:04,998
I want you to scream!
16
00:01:07,435 --> 00:01:09,437
We will shake the heavens.
17
00:01:10,171 --> 00:01:12,005
One, two, three, four.
18
00:01:12,005 --> 00:01:13,574
[group screams]
19
00:01:13,674 --> 00:01:17,178
* An army composed
of walking dead *
20
00:01:17,278 --> 00:01:19,180
* Of willing hearts
21
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,615
* In this our day of struggle
22
00:01:21,715 --> 00:01:23,717
* We speak with fire
23
00:01:23,784 --> 00:01:25,786
* We break all chains
24
00:01:25,953 --> 00:01:29,623
* The foolish bonds
of carnal minds far beneath us *
25
00:01:29,723 --> 00:01:31,725
* We see the leader
26
00:01:31,792 --> 00:01:33,961
* Transfigured light
27
00:01:34,094 --> 00:01:37,598
* He calls us forward
in that moment receive... *
28
00:01:45,639 --> 00:01:48,542
JUSTIN:
My name is Justin and punk
rock has been a serious part
29
00:01:48,642 --> 00:01:51,279
of my life since I was a kid.
30
00:01:52,045 --> 00:01:54,215
As an adolescent,
like so many others
31
00:01:54,315 --> 00:01:56,484
in my generation
of latchkey kids,
32
00:01:56,650 --> 00:01:59,553
I found bands like AFI,
33
00:01:59,653 --> 00:02:01,822
SNFU,
34
00:02:01,922 --> 00:02:05,159
and Propaghandi,
and I was thrilled.
35
00:02:05,293 --> 00:02:08,262
The music challenged
and defied everything,
36
00:02:08,329 --> 00:02:10,931
which led me to undoing years
of Catholic faith
37
00:02:11,064 --> 00:02:13,734
that had been ingrained in me
through school, church,
38
00:02:13,834 --> 00:02:17,505
and a strict
religious father.
39
00:02:19,673 --> 00:02:23,010
By age 16 I was an atheist,
and I wrote songs and essays
40
00:02:23,143 --> 00:02:25,145
about the horrors
of organized religion
41
00:02:25,246 --> 00:02:28,449
and the brainwashed fools
who lived by their faith.
42
00:02:29,817 --> 00:02:32,753
As an adult I formed punk
and hardcore bands,
43
00:02:32,853 --> 00:02:34,788
along with my brother
and close friends,
44
00:02:34,855 --> 00:02:36,824
that also pushed an agenda
of resistance,
45
00:02:36,957 --> 00:02:39,960
progressive politics,
and blasphemy.
46
00:02:40,027 --> 00:02:43,163
I became heavily immersed
in my local scene,
47
00:02:43,297 --> 00:02:45,533
running a punk nightclub
in my early 20s,
48
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:48,936
putting on countless shows
for touring bands,
49
00:02:49,036 --> 00:02:52,039
and eventually
putting out records
50
00:02:52,139 --> 00:02:56,644
through my own small DIY label,
which I still do today.
51
00:02:56,710 --> 00:03:00,714
For me self-reliance,
progressiveness,
52
00:03:00,848 --> 00:03:03,717
heresy and hedonism have
always been the pillars
53
00:03:03,851 --> 00:03:06,354
of hardcore and punk,
54
00:03:06,487 --> 00:03:09,957
so when I first discovered that
there were devout Christians
55
00:03:10,057 --> 00:03:12,360
playing the same music
that I loved,
56
00:03:12,460 --> 00:03:15,963
screaming the same screams,
I was genuinely crushed.
57
00:03:16,063 --> 00:03:18,732
I couldn't believe that
there was actually a movement
58
00:03:18,866 --> 00:03:21,034
of people singing to a God
59
00:03:21,134 --> 00:03:23,971
that I believed this music
was created to tear down.
60
00:03:24,071 --> 00:03:26,507
I went as far as
to write the song
61
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:29,142
* Fuck Christian hardcore...
This Is hell *
62
00:03:29,243 --> 00:03:31,679
for my band Amour Fou,
making very clear
63
00:03:31,812 --> 00:03:36,016
that hardcore belonged to us,
the heretics and non-believers.
64
00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:38,752
My current band, Kleins96,
has become an atheist beacon
65
00:03:38,886 --> 00:03:40,754
on the Canadian Prairies
66
00:03:40,888 --> 00:03:43,557
and keeps the spirit
alive today.
67
00:03:43,657 --> 00:03:53,834
*
68
00:03:53,934 --> 00:04:03,744
*
69
00:04:03,844 --> 00:04:06,847
But my angry songs are
a one-way conversation
70
00:04:06,947 --> 00:04:09,950
and I want to explore firsthand
the world of Christian hardcore
71
00:04:10,117 --> 00:04:12,052
that touches thousands,
if not millions,
72
00:04:12,119 --> 00:04:14,021
of kids in North America.
73
00:04:14,121 --> 00:04:16,790
I want dialogue.
74
00:04:16,924 --> 00:04:19,693
I've set my sights
on the American South
75
00:04:19,793 --> 00:04:23,531
and I'm taking off with open
ears and an open mind.
76
00:04:26,734 --> 00:04:30,471
My first stop is Plano,
a suburb of Dallas, Texas,
77
00:04:30,604 --> 00:04:32,906
where I'm meeting Messengers,
a young hardcore band
78
00:04:32,973 --> 00:04:35,142
made up of five
spirit-filled friends.
79
00:04:35,275 --> 00:04:37,945
I find them getting ready
for a hometown show
80
00:04:38,078 --> 00:04:39,947
that will kick off
their first-ever tour,
81
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,450
trekking to California
to play Facedown Fest,
82
00:04:42,583 --> 00:04:46,620
an annual mecca of heavy
Christian music.
83
00:04:46,754 --> 00:04:50,257
*
84
00:04:50,324 --> 00:04:53,761
[lyrics unclear]
85
00:04:53,894 --> 00:04:58,298
*
86
00:04:58,432 --> 00:05:00,501
All the band members
met in the church.
87
00:05:00,634 --> 00:05:02,836
A lot of those guys were
either home-schooled--
88
00:05:02,970 --> 00:05:06,073
you know, a couple of them
went to secular schools too--
89
00:05:06,173 --> 00:05:08,175
but the other guys
were all home-schooled,
90
00:05:08,275 --> 00:05:10,143
kept out of the secular
school area.
91
00:05:10,277 --> 00:05:13,113
At my church for a long time
I was brought up
92
00:05:13,180 --> 00:05:15,749
into leadership,
and I met a lot of these.
93
00:05:15,849 --> 00:05:19,186
I'm a lot older than most of
them, the people in the band,
94
00:05:19,353 --> 00:05:21,254
and I was kinda like
their mentor.
95
00:05:21,355 --> 00:05:23,357
Hold it out until I'm
done sayin' something.
96
00:05:23,491 --> 00:05:25,359
Yeah.
Then say something.
97
00:05:25,493 --> 00:05:27,260
Just wait for me to say
the words "God bless"
98
00:05:27,260 --> 00:05:29,129
and then everybody hit it.
99
00:05:30,163 --> 00:05:39,840
*
100
00:05:39,973 --> 00:05:42,109
* From a world so cold
101
00:05:45,112 --> 00:05:47,114
* From a world so cold
102
00:06:04,398 --> 00:06:05,999
ROB HOUSTON:
It's like a church
service, you know.
103
00:06:06,133 --> 00:06:08,001
It's like the hardcore kids
104
00:06:08,135 --> 00:06:10,070
going to their own
church service.
105
00:06:10,203 --> 00:06:12,205
And that's the difference
between Christian hardcore
106
00:06:12,339 --> 00:06:14,207
and secular hardcore,
107
00:06:14,341 --> 00:06:16,677
is because the Christian
hardcore and metal or whatever,
108
00:06:16,810 --> 00:06:18,679
you know, the Christian
sub-genres,
109
00:06:18,812 --> 00:06:22,315
there's a lot of it that
understands the power
110
00:06:22,416 --> 00:06:24,685
of taking that style of music,
111
00:06:24,752 --> 00:06:27,521
but making it
a worship atmosphere,
112
00:06:27,655 --> 00:06:31,825
like these kids would
be going to church.
113
00:06:31,925 --> 00:06:35,162
* But I know who carries me
114
00:06:35,262 --> 00:06:38,932
*
115
00:06:39,099 --> 00:06:41,669
WOMAN:
This is for me.
This is literally my church.
116
00:06:41,769 --> 00:06:43,671
This is where I fellowship
with people.
117
00:06:43,771 --> 00:06:46,874
This is where I worship,
and it brings a lot more kids
118
00:06:46,940 --> 00:06:48,942
into it because
they hear this music
119
00:06:49,109 --> 00:06:52,379
and they identify with that, so
it's kinda like luring them in.
120
00:06:52,446 --> 00:06:53,447
*
121
00:06:53,614 --> 00:06:55,949
* I know who carries me
122
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:04,958
Man, I need to go sleep.
123
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:09,029
JUSTIN:
The upcoming tour will be
the longest time
124
00:07:09,129 --> 00:07:11,364
that lead singer Chad
has ever been apart
125
00:07:11,465 --> 00:07:13,467
from his two-year-old son.
126
00:07:16,136 --> 00:07:18,739
See my scar?
- Yeah, what's that from?
127
00:07:18,739 --> 00:07:21,274
I think it was from a cat.
I'm not sure.
128
00:07:21,408 --> 00:07:23,276
[laughter]
129
00:07:23,410 --> 00:07:25,946
You go out to Fort Worth
or to like Dallas,
130
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:28,949
you just go a little
bit more south, it's like...
131
00:07:29,082 --> 00:07:33,120
they mosh a lot harder,
they hit a lot harder
132
00:07:33,253 --> 00:07:35,956
and it's a lot more
intense out there.
133
00:07:36,089 --> 00:07:38,926
But here in Plano you get
a lot more of like
134
00:07:38,992 --> 00:07:40,994
younger kids that
come out to the shows.
135
00:07:41,161 --> 00:07:43,163
I mean it's cool,
it's cool either way.
136
00:07:43,296 --> 00:07:45,165
It's whatever
you wanna go to.
137
00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:47,935
I live here with my
family. That's my brother Chris
138
00:07:48,001 --> 00:07:50,971
over there and my dad
and my mom, and, uh, Noah...
139
00:07:51,104 --> 00:07:54,942
I sorta live here, like
I just slowly started moving in.
140
00:07:55,075 --> 00:07:57,477
I didn't wanna
move back there.
141
00:07:57,611 --> 00:07:59,613
I mean honestly, uh,
142
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,816
I mean me and my dad
don't really get along.
143
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:05,653
He thinks that
it's like demonic.
144
00:08:05,786 --> 00:08:07,821
Like I'm not even kidding.
145
00:08:07,955 --> 00:08:10,791
He thinks that it's like
Satan's music
146
00:08:10,858 --> 00:08:14,995
and that he thinks that
it just makes kids angry.
147
00:08:15,128 --> 00:08:18,365
JUSTIN:
Does he think, you know, that
Satan's working in hardcore?
148
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:20,367
Oh yeah.
149
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:24,337
The more I looked into it, the
more I didn't like, you know?
150
00:08:24,437 --> 00:08:27,207
I'd come to pick up my kids
from these shows
151
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:30,978
and, you know, there's just--
I mean it's my church.
152
00:08:31,044 --> 00:08:33,146
I'm coming to my church
and everything,
153
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,283
and there's just F-bombs in
the parking lot and cigarettes,
154
00:08:36,383 --> 00:08:38,719
and of course they go back,
"Well it's ministry.
155
00:08:38,852 --> 00:08:41,822
You know, we're ministering."
And I said, "How is it ministry?
156
00:08:41,889 --> 00:08:45,559
You can't even understand
what you guys are saying."
157
00:08:45,693 --> 00:08:47,961
Are you a Messengers
fan yourself?
158
00:08:48,061 --> 00:08:50,497
I am a Messengers fan
obviously, yeah.
159
00:08:50,564 --> 00:08:52,800
It's not my cup of tea in music,
160
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:54,802
but you see how the kids react,
161
00:08:54,902 --> 00:08:57,738
and they're pulling in
Christian children.
162
00:08:57,871 --> 00:09:02,542
They're pulling in, you know,
hardcore children, teenagers.
163
00:09:02,643 --> 00:09:07,981
You know, they had the time
to be a testimony to them,
164
00:09:08,081 --> 00:09:09,983
and it's fun to watch.
165
00:09:10,083 --> 00:09:11,985
I love to watch them perform.
166
00:09:12,085 --> 00:09:13,987
This is our bags,
167
00:09:14,087 --> 00:09:16,590
and this is everything basically
we're taking on tour.
168
00:09:16,724 --> 00:09:18,592
We got Chef Boyardee.
169
00:09:18,726 --> 00:09:20,928
We'll be eating these cold,
which is fine.
170
00:09:21,061 --> 00:09:23,263
They're great cold.
We have oranges.
171
00:09:23,396 --> 00:09:26,566
Cheez-Its was a definite.
We had to have Cheez-Its.
172
00:09:26,667 --> 00:09:29,502
We got Oatmeal Pies.
[laughs]
173
00:09:29,603 --> 00:09:32,572
And we got Pop-Tarts here
for the morning.
174
00:09:36,877 --> 00:09:39,112
JUSTIN:
Do you guys have a Bible
in the van?
175
00:09:39,246 --> 00:09:41,248
Yeah, I'll show you right now.
176
00:09:41,348 --> 00:09:43,216
There we go.
177
00:09:43,350 --> 00:09:45,285
He's got the Bible
on the phone?
178
00:09:45,418 --> 00:09:47,587
Yep, modern day, dude.
179
00:09:47,688 --> 00:09:49,757
I guess it takes up
less room, hey?
180
00:09:49,890 --> 00:09:51,892
Yeah.
181
00:09:54,294 --> 00:09:56,697
CHAD:
We thank you for the opportunity
that you've given us, Lord,
182
00:09:56,797 --> 00:09:59,099
to go and have a good time,
Father God,
183
00:09:59,199 --> 00:10:01,068
for us to live our dream, Lord.
184
00:10:01,201 --> 00:10:04,271
We thank you for the talents
that you've put in our head,
185
00:10:04,404 --> 00:10:07,474
Father God, and the talents that
you've put in our hands, Lord.
186
00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:10,944
We lift you up, Lord, and
we just ask that you just,
187
00:10:11,044 --> 00:10:13,814
you bless everything that
has to do with this tour,
188
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:16,483
Father God, that you keep
our engine running sound, Lord,
189
00:10:16,483 --> 00:10:18,618
that you keep our tires
running great, Lord.
190
00:10:19,319 --> 00:10:26,827
*
191
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,830
CHANCE:
We were going 47 on a 35,
which is stupid.
192
00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:31,965
JUSTIN:
How much
does it cost?
193
00:10:32,065 --> 00:10:34,902
It's probably a little ticket.
It's probably like $150, 200.
194
00:10:35,002 --> 00:10:37,504
So who's
paying for it?
195
00:10:40,173 --> 00:10:42,509
It's not coming
out of band money?
196
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:45,478
I ain't paying for it.
I didn't do nothing wrong.
197
00:10:45,578 --> 00:10:51,518
*
198
00:10:51,651 --> 00:10:54,822
CHANCE:
If I didn't have
Christian hardcore,
199
00:10:54,955 --> 00:10:57,991
I would be probably at my house,
200
00:10:58,125 --> 00:11:00,761
like trying to find something
to get high off of.
201
00:11:00,861 --> 00:11:02,963
I was very addicted to cocaine,
202
00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:06,366
very addicted to MDMA,
ecstasy and stuff like that.
203
00:11:06,366 --> 00:11:08,936
And I smoked a lot of pot
and stuff, you know.
204
00:11:09,036 --> 00:11:11,872
JUSTIN:
How old were you when you
were addicted to coke?
205
00:11:12,005 --> 00:11:14,842
I was about 15, 16.
206
00:11:14,942 --> 00:11:18,979
I decided to wipe all that
out by playing hardcore
207
00:11:19,112 --> 00:11:20,981
and taking my anger
out on stage.
208
00:11:21,114 --> 00:11:23,984
All the stuff that I've
gone through is just like,
209
00:11:24,117 --> 00:11:26,954
you know, I need God.
I need that rock, you know.
210
00:11:27,054 --> 00:11:28,956
I need that support.
211
00:11:29,056 --> 00:11:31,691
* So let the sleepless
nights begin *
212
00:11:31,825 --> 00:11:34,828
* If that's what it comes to
213
00:11:34,962 --> 00:11:37,998
* Take another look
214
00:11:38,131 --> 00:11:40,467
* At creation's hands
215
00:11:40,567 --> 00:11:44,504
*
216
00:11:44,571 --> 00:11:47,574
* All these hours
they feel like days *
217
00:11:47,741 --> 00:11:50,744
* And I struggle
to hear you breathe *
218
00:11:50,878 --> 00:11:53,914
* All emotion get jumbled
in this place *
219
00:11:54,047 --> 00:11:57,417
* Wake up and smell iron
in your veins *
220
00:11:57,550 --> 00:12:00,720
*
221
00:12:00,854 --> 00:12:02,856
[rooster crows]
222
00:12:03,490 --> 00:12:06,159
JUSTIN:
So how was it sleeping
in the van?
223
00:12:06,259 --> 00:12:08,561
Not so good. It's too small.
224
00:12:08,695 --> 00:12:11,398
We need a bigger van,
definitely.
225
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,404
So we're in El Paso and we're
going to a Taco Bell right now.
226
00:12:17,504 --> 00:12:19,739
Which is kind of like
being in Italy
227
00:12:19,873 --> 00:12:22,042
and going to a Pizza Hut.
228
00:12:22,109 --> 00:12:24,711
But these kids don't seem
to eat anything
229
00:12:24,845 --> 00:12:27,014
other than fast food.
230
00:12:27,614 --> 00:12:29,516
CHAD:
I miss my family.
231
00:12:29,616 --> 00:12:31,684
She sends me this really
great text message
232
00:12:31,785 --> 00:12:33,686
about how my son misses me.
233
00:12:33,787 --> 00:12:36,623
I'm like, "How's he gonna miss
me? He's two years old."
234
00:12:36,723 --> 00:12:39,392
She's like, "He's looking at
pictures of you and crying."
235
00:12:39,526 --> 00:12:41,394
I'm like, "Oh that's awesome.
236
00:12:41,528 --> 00:12:44,697
Thank you, that makes me
feel like incredible."
237
00:12:44,798 --> 00:12:47,600
So I'm sitting here
driving down the road
238
00:12:47,734 --> 00:12:50,570
trying not to cry in front
of four other dudes.
239
00:12:56,076 --> 00:12:58,411
CHAD:
We don't believe in like
the worldly economy
240
00:12:58,478 --> 00:13:00,647
is really gonna affect
Christianity
241
00:13:00,814 --> 00:13:03,716
because we believe that God's
gonna bless us no matter what.
242
00:13:03,817 --> 00:13:06,219
I'm not one of those
Christians that's gonna like,
243
00:13:06,319 --> 00:13:08,956
sit here and be like,
oh I support the war
244
00:13:09,056 --> 00:13:13,060
because we're doing it in the
name of the Lord and whatnot.
245
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,328
JUSTIN:
Do people take that
attitude in America,
246
00:13:15,428 --> 00:13:17,297
that you guys are
fighting those wars?
247
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:19,499
Yeah. I mean gosh,
248
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:21,634
especially like the, like the
southern Christians, man,
249
00:13:21,768 --> 00:13:25,105
like the ones that have made
it a point to be a Republican.
250
00:13:25,238 --> 00:13:28,341
You know, and I'm sure that
I'll have a lot of Christians
251
00:13:28,475 --> 00:13:31,311
oppose what I have to say
about the whole thing.
252
00:13:31,444 --> 00:13:34,647
But like honestly, I have no
problem with gay marriage.
253
00:13:34,781 --> 00:13:37,951
And I have-- I mean I'm not
for abortion or anything,
254
00:13:38,085 --> 00:13:41,754
but you know, I mean
when it comes to
255
00:13:41,855 --> 00:13:44,958
what the foundation of
what America was built on,
256
00:13:45,025 --> 00:13:50,830
it was built on
the freedoms to choose.
257
00:13:50,964 --> 00:13:54,034
JUSTIN:
The tour isn't always
easy or comfortable,
258
00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:57,670
but the shows are well-attended
and the response is terrific.
259
00:13:57,804 --> 00:14:01,308
It's a world apart from my first
tour, which more often than not
260
00:14:01,374 --> 00:14:04,878
saw my band play
to less than ten people.
261
00:14:05,045 --> 00:14:14,354
*
262
00:14:14,454 --> 00:14:26,466
*
263
00:14:26,566 --> 00:14:29,136
If Jesus was here,
this is where he'd be at.
264
00:14:29,236 --> 00:14:31,571
He wouldn't be in the--
and there's nothing wrong
265
00:14:31,704 --> 00:14:34,341
with the cathedrals, you know,
the crystals and all that.
266
00:14:34,407 --> 00:14:36,409
That's for that generation,
and it's still effective.
267
00:14:36,576 --> 00:14:39,012
But you know, there's people
here that are hurtin',
268
00:14:39,079 --> 00:14:41,982
and they're not gonna be touched
by, you know, Kumbaya.
269
00:14:42,082 --> 00:14:44,184
They're gonna be touched
by some real aggression.
270
00:14:44,317 --> 00:14:49,022
*
271
00:14:49,156 --> 00:14:52,159
[lyrics unclear]
272
00:14:52,259 --> 00:14:58,331
*
273
00:14:58,431 --> 00:15:02,769
I've worn this shirt to every
show for the past nine years.
274
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:05,672
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, it's gross.
275
00:15:05,772 --> 00:15:09,542
You know, coming from
playing shows once a week,
276
00:15:09,609 --> 00:15:12,712
you know, and letting my throat
heal over time, you know,
277
00:15:12,845 --> 00:15:15,682
it's finally gonna start
getting some more scar tissue.
278
00:15:15,782 --> 00:15:17,684
JUSTIN:
Getting used to it?
279
00:15:17,784 --> 00:15:21,021
Yeah, probably permanently give
me a nice little grungy voice.
280
00:15:21,121 --> 00:15:23,356
Everyone likes our music
back home,
281
00:15:23,456 --> 00:15:26,793
and then every show that
we've played has been,
282
00:15:26,893 --> 00:15:30,097
has gotten some good feedback
on this tour.
283
00:15:30,230 --> 00:15:32,966
JUSTIN:
So what are you expecting
for Facedown tomorrow?
284
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:35,969
Everyone's telling me that
people are gonna go crazy to us.
285
00:15:36,103 --> 00:15:41,041
So if that holds true at all,
then I'm gonna love it.
286
00:15:41,141 --> 00:15:51,318
*
287
00:15:51,451 --> 00:15:53,786
JUSTIN:
Facedown Fest is
an annual showcase
288
00:15:53,886 --> 00:15:55,755
put on by Facedown Records,
289
00:15:55,888 --> 00:15:58,891
one of the biggest record labels
in heavy Christian music.
290
00:15:58,992 --> 00:16:02,829
Fans travel from across the
country in droves for the event.
291
00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:13,140
That's what it's about, right
there all right, Jesus Christ.
292
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,108
He loves ya.
293
00:16:15,242 --> 00:16:17,110
JUSTIN:
Before even making it inside,
294
00:16:17,244 --> 00:16:19,246
I'm stopped on the street
for some prayer.
295
00:16:19,346 --> 00:16:21,248
I was praying and I said,
296
00:16:21,348 --> 00:16:23,683
I was like, "God, like
what's my mission field?"
297
00:16:23,816 --> 00:16:26,153
And God told me,
"You're in your mission field,
298
00:16:26,286 --> 00:16:28,155
like look at
the hardcore scene."
299
00:16:28,288 --> 00:16:30,290
Is there anything I--
Have to do?
300
00:16:30,423 --> 00:16:32,292
Yeah.
Honestly, like--
301
00:16:32,425 --> 00:16:35,328
You just gotta stand there.
Just stand there and accept it.
302
00:16:35,462 --> 00:16:38,298
I thank you for the
openness Justin has, Father God,
303
00:16:38,431 --> 00:16:40,933
and I understand the
questions that he has...
304
00:16:41,034 --> 00:16:43,536
....opportunity that
you've given Justin...
305
00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:46,706
[both talking at once]
306
00:16:46,839 --> 00:16:50,009
So Holy Spirit we invite you...
I mean, you created knowledge,
307
00:16:50,110 --> 00:16:52,479
so give him the
knowledge he needs...
308
00:16:52,612 --> 00:16:55,715
JUSTIN:
I'm not used to this sort of
kindness from total strangers,
309
00:16:55,848 --> 00:16:58,618
but I don't feel any touch
of the divine.
310
00:16:58,718 --> 00:17:01,020
Inside, Messengers are
nervously preparing
311
00:17:01,121 --> 00:17:03,790
for what will be the biggest
show of their lives
312
00:17:03,890 --> 00:17:06,193
to this point.
313
00:17:09,996 --> 00:17:12,832
I'd like to lift up every
member of the band, Lord,
314
00:17:12,965 --> 00:17:15,335
that every note and every
drum pattern, Father God,
315
00:17:15,468 --> 00:17:17,470
just fall on key, Lord.
316
00:17:17,570 --> 00:17:20,807
And to just be right on,
Lord, that you be with us
317
00:17:20,907 --> 00:17:23,576
and you calm our nerves down,
Father God, even though
318
00:17:23,676 --> 00:17:26,879
this is one of the biggest
shows of our career, Jesus.
319
00:17:33,586 --> 00:17:40,760
*
320
00:17:40,927 --> 00:17:43,996
[applause]
321
00:17:44,097 --> 00:17:46,099
Yo, raise your fist.
322
00:17:46,233 --> 00:17:48,768
We're Messengers
from Dallas, Texas.
323
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:50,903
*
324
00:17:51,037 --> 00:17:54,241
* Pale rose saturation
screams to be heard *
325
00:17:54,374 --> 00:17:56,576
* Then adulterated truth
takes a turn *
326
00:17:56,709 --> 00:17:59,045
* Have your paper
bleed the innocence *
327
00:17:59,112 --> 00:18:01,548
* Till there's nothing left
328
00:18:01,681 --> 00:18:04,184
* Be the year of a better man
329
00:18:04,284 --> 00:18:06,786
* Kneeling at
an all-cost approach *
330
00:18:06,886 --> 00:18:09,256
* Still you say
you're the better man *
331
00:18:09,389 --> 00:18:12,692
* The laws you write
are the ones you broke *
332
00:18:12,792 --> 00:18:15,528
* Extend your hand
333
00:18:15,628 --> 00:18:17,897
* Not your pockets
334
00:18:17,964 --> 00:18:20,633
* They tell the lies
335
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,303
* And make the profit
336
00:18:23,403 --> 00:18:26,038
* Extend your hand
337
00:18:26,139 --> 00:18:28,541
* Not your pockets
338
00:18:28,641 --> 00:18:31,043
* They tell the lies
339
00:18:31,144 --> 00:18:33,313
* And make the profit
340
00:18:33,446 --> 00:18:35,615
* We the people need truth
341
00:18:35,715 --> 00:18:38,151
* We the people need leaders
342
00:18:38,285 --> 00:18:40,787
* Not followers of man
343
00:18:40,887 --> 00:18:43,390
* Any leaders
amongst the pigs? *
344
00:18:43,490 --> 00:18:46,326
* Pale rose saturation
screams to hear *
345
00:18:46,459 --> 00:18:48,728
* Then adulterated truth
takes a turn *
346
00:18:48,828 --> 00:18:51,097
* Where does freedom
really belong *
347
00:18:51,164 --> 00:18:53,800
* When it's all said
and done *
348
00:19:11,651 --> 00:19:12,985
So, how was that?
It was fun, man.
349
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,788
That was definitely one
of the best shows we've played.
350
00:19:15,855 --> 00:19:18,425
You wanna buy a Messengers CD?
I can't afford it.
351
00:19:18,525 --> 00:19:19,992
Come on, man.
352
00:19:20,126 --> 00:19:21,994
This is freaking sick.
353
00:19:22,128 --> 00:19:24,531
I don't know if you guys
are like regulars
354
00:19:24,664 --> 00:19:26,533
that come to Facedown Fest.
355
00:19:26,666 --> 00:19:28,968
MAN:
The more I read
about it Jesus didn't,
356
00:19:29,035 --> 00:19:30,937
he didn't humble himself.
357
00:19:31,037 --> 00:19:32,939
He didn't just
humiliate himself.
358
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:34,941
He embarrassed himself.
359
00:19:35,041 --> 00:19:37,444
He embarrassed himself
so he could be like us.
360
00:19:37,544 --> 00:19:39,446
He can make us like Him.
361
00:19:39,546 --> 00:19:42,114
He made himself look like me,
look like a liar,
362
00:19:42,215 --> 00:19:44,617
look like a pervert,
look like a prideful person.
363
00:19:44,717 --> 00:19:47,954
He made himself look like me,
so I could look like him.
364
00:19:48,054 --> 00:19:49,956
And you know what, like,
365
00:19:50,056 --> 00:19:52,459
I so much wanna look like
my Father God.
366
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:54,727
* We're all brothers in blood
367
00:19:54,861 --> 00:19:57,464
* Crawl through these trenches
368
00:19:57,564 --> 00:20:01,234
* Already wounded
but chosen to fight *
369
00:20:01,368 --> 00:20:05,204
* Why do these soldiers...
370
00:20:05,305 --> 00:20:08,508
Get those hands
in the air!
371
00:20:08,641 --> 00:20:18,518
*
372
00:20:18,651 --> 00:20:27,494
*
373
00:20:27,594 --> 00:20:30,430
No cussin', no smokin',
374
00:20:30,563 --> 00:20:32,432
no drinkin'!
375
00:20:32,565 --> 00:20:35,668
We better make sure we can still
get a bottle of whiskey
376
00:20:35,768 --> 00:20:37,670
by the end of this show.
377
00:20:37,770 --> 00:20:39,672
MIKE:
Go, you should go.
378
00:20:39,772 --> 00:20:42,375
It's so funny that I actually
kinda do feel guilty
379
00:20:42,442 --> 00:20:45,445
about buying whiskey
right now.
Yeah, I know.
380
00:20:45,578 --> 00:20:48,581
It's just like there's
something so weirdly wholesome.
381
00:21:02,429 --> 00:21:08,435
* Oh, take your flame
Ignite the world *
382
00:21:13,139 --> 00:21:16,476
* And let the whole world see
383
00:21:16,576 --> 00:21:26,085
*
384
00:21:26,218 --> 00:21:28,388
* Burn
385
00:21:28,488 --> 00:21:32,559
* and let the whole world see
386
00:21:32,659 --> 00:21:35,962
* You were made to burn...
387
00:21:37,129 --> 00:21:39,966
I believe that we can really
bring revolution in our time.
388
00:21:40,066 --> 00:21:42,902
I believe that we can be
the generation to really fix
389
00:21:43,002 --> 00:21:45,505
some of the issues
our parents brought on us
390
00:21:45,638 --> 00:21:48,641
and really turn something
in this world.
391
00:21:48,775 --> 00:21:54,514
*
392
00:21:54,647 --> 00:21:56,516
Right now!
393
00:21:56,649 --> 00:21:59,118
* Lord of Glory
394
00:21:59,185 --> 00:22:02,855
* Make us worthy
395
00:22:02,989 --> 00:22:05,925
* To possess
396
00:22:06,025 --> 00:22:08,828
* Your name
397
00:22:08,928 --> 00:22:10,797
MAN:
Listen, I believe,
398
00:22:10,930 --> 00:22:13,800
I believe that God is
transforming lives right now.
399
00:22:13,933 --> 00:22:16,636
[applause and cheers]
400
00:22:16,769 --> 00:22:20,339
I believe, everybody in here,
that if you would take it,
401
00:22:20,473 --> 00:22:22,609
if you would cultivate
the seeds sown here,
402
00:22:22,709 --> 00:22:26,345
that people will leave
this room forever changed.
403
00:22:26,446 --> 00:22:29,616
JUSTIN:
But when the show is done,
people don't leave the room.
404
00:22:29,716 --> 00:22:31,651
They stay and huddle
together to pray.
405
00:22:31,784 --> 00:22:33,886
MAN:
This is a strong tower,
Father God,
406
00:22:34,020 --> 00:22:37,524
and I just ask that we lift it
all up to you, Lord.
407
00:22:37,624 --> 00:22:39,492
Then it's just gone,
408
00:22:39,626 --> 00:22:43,229
that the blood of Jesus washes
over every soul in this place.
409
00:22:43,362 --> 00:22:52,371
*
410
00:22:52,472 --> 00:23:02,348
*
411
00:23:02,482 --> 00:23:12,358
*
412
00:23:12,492 --> 00:23:18,665
*
413
00:23:18,765 --> 00:23:22,001
CHAD:
That band, Saving Grace,
that played after us,
414
00:23:22,101 --> 00:23:24,837
we got to talking
with them, man.
415
00:23:24,937 --> 00:23:27,774
I think in winter we're gonna
come to Australia with them.
416
00:23:27,874 --> 00:23:31,511
When you started the band,
would you imagine you'd be
touring around the world?
417
00:23:31,611 --> 00:23:34,514
No, when we started we didn't
think we'd be doing anything.
418
00:23:34,614 --> 00:23:38,250
We were just a jam band.
I mean I just had a kid.
419
00:23:38,350 --> 00:23:40,853
That's all we wanted
to do was just jam.
420
00:23:40,953 --> 00:23:43,355
Now we're in California.
421
00:23:56,636 --> 00:24:00,540
JUSTIN:
The next stop on my journey
is a church in Park City, Utah,
422
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,309
where I'm meeting Christian
hardcore heroes Sleeping Giant.
423
00:24:03,442 --> 00:24:05,311
* ...uncreated one
424
00:24:05,444 --> 00:24:08,114
* Holy, ancient one
425
00:24:08,214 --> 00:24:11,584
* I'm after your heart
426
00:24:12,251 --> 00:24:15,454
* You are the uncreated one
427
00:24:15,588 --> 00:24:18,224
* Holy, ancient one
428
00:24:18,324 --> 00:24:22,261
* I'm after your heart
429
00:24:24,564 --> 00:24:27,667
CINDY:
If you tell the name of
Jesus too soon
430
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,969
and God hasn't told you
to say it,
431
00:24:30,102 --> 00:24:31,971
it can [snaps fingers]
432
00:24:32,104 --> 00:24:35,407
sabotage the rest of
your outreach.
433
00:24:35,508 --> 00:24:38,010
Some of these younger kids,
like Ben and Tommy
434
00:24:38,110 --> 00:24:39,979
and all these other guys,
they're young.
435
00:24:40,112 --> 00:24:42,281
They can go shout Jesus
from the housetops
436
00:24:42,348 --> 00:24:44,316
and people will come
flocking to them.
437
00:24:44,450 --> 00:24:46,786
Why? Because they don't
look religious.
438
00:24:46,853 --> 00:24:56,095
*
439
00:24:56,195 --> 00:24:58,364
I have a feeling when
we start playing,
440
00:24:58,531 --> 00:25:01,367
the vast majority of these
older people aren't gonna know
441
00:25:01,467 --> 00:25:03,536
what to do with themselves.
442
00:25:04,671 --> 00:25:08,875
You kids or you young,
you people-- you guys,
443
00:25:09,008 --> 00:25:13,112
when the band is finished
and the worship is done,
444
00:25:13,212 --> 00:25:15,982
we still want you in here
if that's okay.
445
00:25:16,048 --> 00:25:19,952
Can you hang and really
give attention to the message?
446
00:25:20,052 --> 00:25:23,455
I know that this kind of music
doesn't happen a lot in church,
447
00:25:23,556 --> 00:25:26,626
and so I just want to say
thank you for honouring
448
00:25:26,726 --> 00:25:28,795
the sound that God's given us.
449
00:25:28,895 --> 00:25:31,163
* ...Holy
450
00:25:31,297 --> 00:25:35,401
* Holy God
451
00:25:35,534 --> 00:25:37,036
*
452
00:25:37,136 --> 00:25:43,475
* Holy, holy
453
00:25:43,576 --> 00:25:49,381
* Holy God
454
00:25:49,515 --> 00:25:50,750
*
455
00:25:50,883 --> 00:25:57,556
* Holy, holy
456
00:25:57,690 --> 00:26:02,995
* Holy God
457
00:26:03,095 --> 00:26:05,998
*
458
00:26:06,098 --> 00:26:08,701
* Jesus come
459
00:26:08,768 --> 00:26:12,739
* 'Cause you are worthy
of every human life *
460
00:26:13,172 --> 00:26:15,708
* Jesus come
461
00:26:19,946 --> 00:26:23,582
* Jesus come
462
00:26:27,186 --> 00:26:30,790
* Jesus come
463
00:26:33,626 --> 00:26:36,729
I just pray that our life is an
offering before you, Lord,
464
00:26:36,796 --> 00:26:39,098
that our hearts are
towards you in worship, Jesus.
465
00:26:39,231 --> 00:26:41,533
I don't think there's
anything that we want more
466
00:26:41,634 --> 00:26:44,303
than really to know you
and to bring your heart,
467
00:26:44,436 --> 00:26:46,472
like pleasure,
to make you laugh.
468
00:26:46,605 --> 00:26:50,777
And there's no one and nothing
like you at all.
469
00:26:50,877 --> 00:26:53,379
You are the awesomest,
awesomest, awesomest
470
00:26:53,479 --> 00:26:55,481
in all of awesomeness.
471
00:26:56,382 --> 00:26:59,218
[indiscernible chatter]
472
00:27:06,659 --> 00:27:09,428
[laughter]
473
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:17,303
[indiscernible chatter]
474
00:27:39,358 --> 00:27:42,194
JUSTIN:
While the rest of Sleeping
Giant lives in California,
475
00:27:42,294 --> 00:27:44,430
lead singer Tommy
lives with his family
476
00:27:44,530 --> 00:27:46,833
in the very Mormon
Salt Lake City.
477
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,971
TOMMY:
I think it's a God thing.
I mean I just don't understand,
478
00:27:52,104 --> 00:27:55,174
'cause I would not, I wouldn't
have come back here right away.
479
00:27:55,307 --> 00:27:57,176
I just wouldn't have.
480
00:27:57,309 --> 00:27:59,611
If they said, "Where
would you like to live?"
481
00:27:59,712 --> 00:28:02,815
Salt Lake City would not have
been on the radar for me.
482
00:28:02,882 --> 00:28:04,650
I wouldn't have gone,
"Oh my gosh,
483
00:28:04,784 --> 00:28:07,319
if I could just go to
Salt Lake City, Utah."
484
00:28:07,453 --> 00:28:09,722
JUSTIN:
You found punk rock
before you found Jesus?
485
00:28:09,856 --> 00:28:12,391
TOMMY:
Oh yeah. I liked music.
I got into drugs.
486
00:28:12,524 --> 00:28:15,361
I ran away a bunch of times
and was selling drugs
487
00:28:15,461 --> 00:28:17,463
in junior high
so I could make money.
488
00:28:17,563 --> 00:28:20,032
I was really off my
rocker a little bit
489
00:28:20,166 --> 00:28:22,034
'cause I was so upset, so angry,
490
00:28:22,168 --> 00:28:24,303
and just didn't know
where to put it.
491
00:28:24,403 --> 00:28:27,539
And I think a lot of the hatred
of the status quo,
492
00:28:27,639 --> 00:28:31,744
and feeling like injustice
and racism and sexism
493
00:28:31,878 --> 00:28:34,213
and like being really like,
anti--like homophobic,
494
00:28:34,313 --> 00:28:36,182
just all that stuff.
495
00:28:36,315 --> 00:28:39,418
I just remember feeling
like, man, you just pissed off.
496
00:28:39,551 --> 00:28:41,420
So I remember really
getting connected,
497
00:28:41,553 --> 00:28:44,190
'cause I felt like there was
a bunch of people
498
00:28:44,256 --> 00:28:46,859
and they create this music
as a way to express
499
00:28:46,993 --> 00:28:48,861
that there is so much
that's wrong.
500
00:28:48,995 --> 00:28:51,663
I was so pissed off about
the idea of God.
501
00:28:51,764 --> 00:28:53,665
I was trying to understand God,
502
00:28:53,766 --> 00:28:57,669
and I read the Bhagavad Gita,
and I was looking into Hinduism
503
00:28:57,770 --> 00:29:00,072
'cause I had friends that
were like into that.
504
00:29:00,172 --> 00:29:02,174
And I was just reading.
I just read.
505
00:29:02,274 --> 00:29:04,944
There's a part where
a dude comes up to Jesus
506
00:29:05,111 --> 00:29:08,247
and says, what is the point?
And he gives him two answers.
507
00:29:08,347 --> 00:29:11,250
He says, "Love God with all
your heart, all your soul,
508
00:29:11,383 --> 00:29:13,352
"all your mind,
all your strength,
509
00:29:13,452 --> 00:29:15,387
and love your neighbour
as yourself."
510
00:29:15,454 --> 00:29:17,556
And I literally freaked out.
511
00:29:17,689 --> 00:29:20,927
And I was like, I shut it
and I'm like, that's it?
512
00:29:21,060 --> 00:29:23,562
Like I literally was like,
that is it?
513
00:29:23,695 --> 00:29:26,632
I've been fighting you
for like 22 years.
514
00:29:26,765 --> 00:29:29,768
That is the reason, that's
what I've been fighting about?
515
00:29:29,869 --> 00:29:33,205
Tell me who to love.
I'll love people. I love people.
516
00:29:33,305 --> 00:29:37,443
Then having so many of my values
from these different subculture
517
00:29:37,543 --> 00:29:43,149
scenes almost get like, uh,
reaffirmed in Jesus--
518
00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:45,952
blows my mind.
519
00:29:46,085 --> 00:29:50,422
JUSTIN:
Tommy founded Tithemi Outreach
Church in Redlands, California,
520
00:29:50,489 --> 00:29:53,960
which is now led by his Sleeping
Giant bandmates, Eric and J.R.
521
00:29:54,093 --> 00:29:57,629
What I've come to notice is,
I come out of the paradigm of,
522
00:29:57,763 --> 00:29:59,631
hey I'm in a hardcore band,
523
00:29:59,765 --> 00:30:02,134
so that means hardcore kids
feel comfortable around me
524
00:30:02,268 --> 00:30:04,803
and hardcore kids would feel
comfortable in my church.
525
00:30:04,937 --> 00:30:07,639
But being a hardcore kid,
that's not my actual identity.
526
00:30:07,773 --> 00:30:09,641
That's not my identity.
527
00:30:09,775 --> 00:30:12,912
I enjoy hardcore music. I have
for years. I just enjoy it.
528
00:30:13,012 --> 00:30:17,016
But my identity is that
I'm a son of God,
I'm a lover of God.
529
00:30:17,116 --> 00:30:19,986
I worship the Lord, like he's my
father. That's my identity,
530
00:30:20,119 --> 00:30:22,754
and so I relate to people
out of that identity,
531
00:30:22,855 --> 00:30:25,191
not out of being
a hardcore kid.
532
00:30:25,992 --> 00:30:29,595
* God is good
533
00:30:31,197 --> 00:30:34,700
* God is good forever
534
00:30:34,867 --> 00:30:37,703
* And forever
535
00:30:37,836 --> 00:30:41,807
* God is good
536
00:30:43,943 --> 00:30:48,948
* God is good forever
537
00:30:50,149 --> 00:30:53,852
ERIC:
All right, let's turn our
Bibles to Luke, chapter nine.
538
00:30:53,986 --> 00:30:58,991
I want to continue talking about
hosting the presence of God
539
00:30:59,058 --> 00:31:02,228
and ushering his presence
and his spirit.
540
00:31:03,829 --> 00:31:05,697
He wants so much more.
541
00:31:05,831 --> 00:31:08,167
He doesn't want you
just to believe in him.
542
00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:10,169
He wants you to know him.
543
00:31:10,302 --> 00:31:12,871
He does. He's inviting you
to know him.
544
00:31:13,005 --> 00:31:15,674
He's inviting you to know him.
545
00:31:15,807 --> 00:31:17,676
It's much better.
546
00:31:17,809 --> 00:31:19,711
I'm telling you from
personal experience.
547
00:31:19,845 --> 00:31:23,515
I've been in a place for a
long time where all I did
548
00:31:23,582 --> 00:31:26,418
was believe, and, uh,
and knowing him is...
549
00:31:26,585 --> 00:31:28,587
it's awesome.
550
00:31:28,687 --> 00:31:30,990
It's so awesome.
551
00:31:31,090 --> 00:31:33,259
It's great.
552
00:31:36,095 --> 00:31:38,830
JUSTIN:
While not on the road,
Eric and other members
553
00:31:38,931 --> 00:31:41,333
of Sleeping Giant
run a merchandise company
554
00:31:41,433 --> 00:31:44,436
printing gear for
other hardcore bands.
555
00:31:53,779 --> 00:31:56,715
Sleeping Giant, as of now,
we're doing okay.
556
00:31:56,848 --> 00:31:59,118
You know, we get
a little bit of money
557
00:31:59,251 --> 00:32:01,553
so it helps cover our bills
when we're gone,
558
00:32:01,620 --> 00:32:03,622
but we don't make
a living from it.
559
00:32:03,789 --> 00:32:05,691
Success is defined
by interaction
560
00:32:05,791 --> 00:32:08,127
when it comes to hardcore music
or punk music.
561
00:32:08,227 --> 00:32:11,063
It's like, if we played in
front of a million people,
562
00:32:11,130 --> 00:32:14,233
I'm sure there's a part of us
that would be, that's great,
563
00:32:14,366 --> 00:32:16,969
but if there's not people
singing along and piling on,
564
00:32:17,103 --> 00:32:19,105
you don't feel successful
as a hardcore band.
565
00:32:19,238 --> 00:32:22,141
That's one of the things that
defines or drives the music.
566
00:32:24,410 --> 00:32:27,646
JUSTIN:
I hit the road with Sleeping
Giant for Scream The Prayer,
567
00:32:27,779 --> 00:32:30,382
a package tour of top
Christian hardcore bands
568
00:32:30,482 --> 00:32:32,818
en route to the Cornerstone
Christian Music Festival
569
00:32:32,951 --> 00:32:35,087
in Illinois.
570
00:32:36,155 --> 00:32:38,490
The song goes like this:
571
00:32:39,992 --> 00:32:42,628
* This ain't my first rodeo
572
00:32:42,761 --> 00:32:45,097
* Ten thousand
ten thousand *
573
00:32:45,164 --> 00:32:47,733
* They're walking and shoving
574
00:32:47,833 --> 00:32:51,003
* and marching and pressing on
575
00:32:51,170 --> 00:33:01,080
*
576
00:33:01,180 --> 00:33:06,018
*
577
00:33:06,118 --> 00:33:08,020
* Wake up
578
00:33:08,154 --> 00:33:11,690
* I awake, awake to
see the living dead *
579
00:33:11,823 --> 00:33:15,461
* They live in darkness
too blind to see the path
they've led *
580
00:33:15,527 --> 00:33:18,864
* They search this world
to try to find existence... *
581
00:33:18,997 --> 00:33:20,999
[drumming]
582
00:33:25,104 --> 00:33:26,972
With what, our songs?
583
00:33:27,106 --> 00:33:29,141
Just like with the
show aspect of it,
584
00:33:29,275 --> 00:33:31,143
do you feel connected
when you're playing?
585
00:33:31,277 --> 00:33:34,446
It's a little weird.
It's 'cause we're playing
stuff no one knows.
586
00:33:38,317 --> 00:33:40,819
I guess that's how,
I just feel like--
[shrugs]
587
00:33:40,952 --> 00:33:42,821
Well yeah let's pray
over our set.
588
00:33:42,954 --> 00:33:45,791
Just 'cause I just--I wanna
have fun. I wanna enjoy it.
589
00:33:45,891 --> 00:33:48,894
I wanna enjoy God a lot,
that's for sure, so.
590
00:33:49,061 --> 00:33:52,531
I pray that you would
calm and that you'd
connect the kids here,
591
00:33:52,631 --> 00:33:55,667
like that there's kids
that drove a while to get here.
592
00:33:55,801 --> 00:33:58,870
There's a lot of hungry hearts
in the room still, Lord Jesus.
593
00:33:59,004 --> 00:34:01,573
And so whether we're
peoples' favourites or not,
594
00:34:01,707 --> 00:34:04,710
I'm just asking, Jesus,
that you come
595
00:34:04,843 --> 00:34:07,646
and take over the set tonight.
596
00:34:20,359 --> 00:34:23,329
TOMMY:
All right, Father, right
now in the name of Jesus,
597
00:34:23,429 --> 00:34:25,997
come and bless every single
person here right now.
598
00:34:26,098 --> 00:34:28,334
We love you so, so much. Man!
599
00:34:28,434 --> 00:34:31,537
All right, I really don't
want this to be another
hardcore show,
600
00:34:31,603 --> 00:34:33,505
God, please touch
these peoples' life.
601
00:34:33,605 --> 00:34:35,507
You love them so much.
602
00:34:35,607 --> 00:34:39,245
I know you have a crush on me.
I have a crush on you.
603
00:34:39,378 --> 00:34:41,247
Let's have a crush
on everyone together.
604
00:34:41,380 --> 00:34:43,249
Thank you, Lord,
right now for goodness.
605
00:34:43,382 --> 00:34:46,385
*
606
00:34:46,452 --> 00:34:48,454
Here we go!
607
00:34:48,587 --> 00:34:54,426
*
608
00:34:54,526 --> 00:34:57,028
Here we go, come on.
Kingdom come.
609
00:34:57,129 --> 00:34:59,465
*
610
00:34:59,631 --> 00:35:01,867
This is a real hardcore show,
come on!
611
00:35:01,967 --> 00:35:04,035
*
612
00:35:04,136 --> 00:35:06,872
Jesus, come!
613
00:35:06,972 --> 00:35:08,874
Kingdom come!
614
00:35:08,974 --> 00:35:10,876
Let's hear it.
Come on, come on!
615
00:35:10,976 --> 00:35:15,046
Kingdom come!
616
00:35:17,149 --> 00:35:20,319
Is it okay if I pray for you?
- Please.
617
00:35:20,452 --> 00:35:22,988
I'd love to, man.
Tell me one or two.
618
00:35:23,121 --> 00:35:26,492
My main issue is my foot.
619
00:35:26,625 --> 00:35:29,060
I've broken it and
crushed it so many times.
620
00:35:29,161 --> 00:35:31,930
I've got two toes that the
joints are fused together,
621
00:35:31,997 --> 00:35:34,300
and I've actually got
two toes that are trying
622
00:35:34,433 --> 00:35:36,302
to knit together now.
623
00:35:36,435 --> 00:35:39,004
So, Father, right now in
the name of Jesus, God,
624
00:35:39,137 --> 00:35:41,006
I just bless Donny.
625
00:35:41,139 --> 00:35:43,509
It just seems like
it's been a long time,
626
00:35:43,642 --> 00:35:46,912
a prolonged pain
for this man,
627
00:35:47,012 --> 00:35:50,516
physically, and that
probably gives birth to
a lot of other stuff.
628
00:35:50,616 --> 00:35:53,485
And so, Father, right now
I'm just asking God for mercy,
629
00:35:53,619 --> 00:35:56,988
just mercy over this man's life
right now in the name of Jesus,
630
00:35:57,122 --> 00:35:59,491
and I'm asking for healing.
631
00:35:59,625 --> 00:36:01,993
Okay, the injuries that
have been sustained right now,
632
00:36:02,127 --> 00:36:04,129
I'm just declaring
right now that all pain,
633
00:36:04,263 --> 00:36:06,765
all pain, you gotta go.
634
00:36:06,865 --> 00:36:09,167
At the command of Jesus,
you have to go,
635
00:36:09,301 --> 00:36:12,371
and I just release the healing
presence and power of Jesus
636
00:36:12,504 --> 00:36:14,373
right now into Donny's foot.
637
00:36:14,506 --> 00:36:17,609
All right, do me a favour.
Just walk around for a second.
638
00:36:17,709 --> 00:36:21,313
What level was your pain at
on a scale of one to ten
639
00:36:21,380 --> 00:36:23,282
when you walked in.
640
00:36:23,382 --> 00:36:25,384
About a four.
It was at a four?
641
00:36:25,551 --> 00:36:27,453
Walk around for a second
642
00:36:27,553 --> 00:36:30,121
and tell me if it's better,
the same, or worse.
643
00:36:30,222 --> 00:36:32,324
And everything is okay.
There's no wrong answer.
644
00:36:32,391 --> 00:36:35,394
If you got worse, cool,
whatever--better, same, worse.
645
00:36:35,527 --> 00:36:38,163
No, I'd actually rate it
about a zero right now.
646
00:36:38,230 --> 00:36:40,131
So amen, right?
- Amen.
647
00:36:40,232 --> 00:36:43,335
Cool, if you took ibuprofen
and it went away that'd be it.
648
00:36:43,469 --> 00:36:46,137
Let's pray, let's pray real
quick and say thank you,
649
00:36:46,238 --> 00:36:48,240
and let's seal it okay?
650
00:36:49,575 --> 00:36:51,977
I'm hanging out
with the Canadians.
651
00:36:52,077 --> 00:36:54,646
JUSTIN:
I meet back up with Messengers
in their hometown
652
00:36:54,746 --> 00:36:56,815
as they also prepare
to leave on tour
653
00:36:56,915 --> 00:36:58,817
to the Cornerstone Festival.
654
00:36:58,917 --> 00:37:00,919
So you got
a name for it?
655
00:37:01,052 --> 00:37:03,021
Yeah, we're calling
it the Red Baron.
656
00:37:03,088 --> 00:37:05,757
The Red Baron?
The Red Baron, dude.
657
00:37:05,891 --> 00:37:08,860
We're gonna move
this backseat out,
658
00:37:08,927 --> 00:37:12,498
put all the stuff back there
so we can have all these seats
659
00:37:12,598 --> 00:37:14,933
to sleep in and
all that stuff.
660
00:37:15,066 --> 00:37:17,936
This is definitely a step up
from the last tour.
661
00:37:18,069 --> 00:37:21,540
As long as we're all in the van,
I guess we're invincible.
662
00:37:21,607 --> 00:37:24,443
JUSTIN:
With only days before their tour
through the American South,
663
00:37:24,576 --> 00:37:26,512
Chad is feeling
under the weather
664
00:37:26,612 --> 00:37:29,014
and needs to see a doctor.
665
00:37:30,081 --> 00:37:33,419
I've always had just kind of
a lot of faith in general.
666
00:37:33,519 --> 00:37:36,455
So anything that--if we don't
have like health insurance
667
00:37:36,588 --> 00:37:39,190
or something, I know that
God's gonna work it out.
668
00:37:39,291 --> 00:37:42,193
I mean I always have,
I've been with him since,
669
00:37:42,294 --> 00:37:44,195
God, like nine years now.
670
00:37:44,296 --> 00:37:46,298
And he's always been
overweight like this.
671
00:37:46,432 --> 00:37:52,103
And it's always been a
concern, but there's--
672
00:37:52,237 --> 00:37:54,806
it's one of those things
that you don't really know
673
00:37:54,940 --> 00:37:57,643
how to help him with it,
if that makes sense.
674
00:37:57,776 --> 00:37:59,645
That's something they
definitely want to change.
675
00:37:59,778 --> 00:38:03,449
They don't want to eat fast food
as much as they did anymore.
676
00:38:05,617 --> 00:38:08,587
CHAD:
Noah has the hardest time,
like opening up to anyone.
677
00:38:08,654 --> 00:38:11,990
And he sat me down about
a week ago and was like,
678
00:38:12,123 --> 00:38:14,726
"Dude," he's like, "your
weight's scaring me."
679
00:38:14,826 --> 00:38:18,296
and he was like, "you know,
if I have to," he's like,
680
00:38:18,397 --> 00:38:21,600
"if I have to go on a diet
with you," he's like,
681
00:38:21,733 --> 00:38:25,070
"I'm skinny as can be,
but if it means that I have to
682
00:38:25,170 --> 00:38:28,006
"cut out everything bad in
my life so that you will,
683
00:38:28,139 --> 00:38:30,008
that's what I'm gonna do."
684
00:38:30,141 --> 00:38:32,277
So what did that
mean to you?
685
00:38:32,344 --> 00:38:34,780
It's crazy.
686
00:38:34,913 --> 00:38:37,916
You know, I'm know that,
like, you know, not saying
687
00:38:38,016 --> 00:38:40,519
anything about my wife or
anything like that but,
688
00:38:40,686 --> 00:38:43,489
you know, it's very rare
that anybody, you know,
689
00:38:43,589 --> 00:38:46,425
everybody can tell me, hey
you need to lose weight,
690
00:38:46,525 --> 00:38:49,361
hey this is scaring me, but...
691
00:38:52,097 --> 00:38:55,300
for somebody to say that they're
willing to make a life change
692
00:38:55,434 --> 00:38:57,803
so that they can back me up...
693
00:38:58,504 --> 00:39:00,506
that's big.
694
00:39:04,109 --> 00:39:07,012
JUSTIN:
The first show of the tour,
which will see Messengers
695
00:39:07,145 --> 00:39:10,148
play everything from church
basements to a laser tag court,
696
00:39:10,281 --> 00:39:12,518
is in a thrift store
in Louisiana.
697
00:39:12,651 --> 00:39:13,952
*
698
00:39:14,052 --> 00:39:15,954
Rock it!
699
00:39:16,054 --> 00:39:19,224
* I'm hearing the voices from
left and the right singing *
700
00:39:19,357 --> 00:39:21,960
* This is the way
This is the way *
701
00:39:22,060 --> 00:39:25,163
* I made my choice and
I'm taking my life because *
702
00:39:25,230 --> 00:39:27,799
* This is for me
This is for me *
703
00:39:27,899 --> 00:39:30,736
* And I will not stop
because you judge me *
704
00:39:30,902 --> 00:39:39,745
*
705
00:39:39,845 --> 00:39:43,014
I think we barely made 50.
Barely made 50.
706
00:39:43,081 --> 00:39:46,184
You know, which got
us here, you know?
707
00:39:46,317 --> 00:39:48,820
But...
708
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,323
I think we have like $25 left,
709
00:39:52,424 --> 00:39:56,227
like outside of what we have for
gas, so we'll see what happens.
710
00:40:08,607 --> 00:40:10,609
JUSTIN:
As Sleeping Giant's tour
rolls on,
711
00:40:10,709 --> 00:40:12,578
I'm surprised to learn
that faith healings
712
00:40:12,711 --> 00:40:14,613
aren't a rare occurrence
for the band.
713
00:40:14,746 --> 00:40:17,082
Almost every night
they're approached by fans
714
00:40:17,182 --> 00:40:20,118
in some state of pain
or suffering.
715
00:40:21,119 --> 00:40:24,355
JUSTIN:
Can we talk a little more
about the healing,
716
00:40:24,456 --> 00:40:27,258
'cause I think that this is
gonna be something, um...
717
00:40:27,358 --> 00:40:30,428
Gonna make us look like total
freaks, and I'm okay with that.
718
00:40:30,562 --> 00:40:32,430
Yeah?
Yeah, I'm okay with that.
719
00:40:32,564 --> 00:40:34,566
I mean, we get it
from other Christians.
720
00:40:34,700 --> 00:40:37,536
I have a video of a kid
in El Paso, Texas,
721
00:40:37,636 --> 00:40:40,205
that we prayed for,
and his eye was nearly blind,
722
00:40:40,305 --> 00:40:42,307
and he said it was just
complete blur,
723
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,442
like he could kinda
make out shapes,
724
00:40:44,576 --> 00:40:46,444
couldn't see any features,
you know?
725
00:40:46,578 --> 00:40:50,215
If I gave him the finger test,
he wouldn't be able to tell me.
726
00:40:50,315 --> 00:40:52,918
I prayed for him and his
vision got like healed.
727
00:40:52,984 --> 00:40:54,986
I was partially blind.
J.R.: From what?
728
00:40:55,153 --> 00:40:58,056
My retina, I was hit
in the eye by a rock.
729
00:40:58,156 --> 00:41:00,058
J.R.:
What's your vision like now?
730
00:41:00,158 --> 00:41:02,060
20/20.
731
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,063
J.R.:
You can see clearly?
How does that make you feel?
732
00:41:05,163 --> 00:41:07,065
Amazing.
733
00:41:07,165 --> 00:41:09,735
I was, cover your good eye.
I was testing him.
734
00:41:09,835 --> 00:41:12,170
Cover your friggin' good eye.
Don't lie to me.
735
00:41:12,270 --> 00:41:14,439
I ran way over there.
"How many fingers?"
736
00:41:14,506 --> 00:41:16,808
And he was just crying,
"It's two, two fingers."
737
00:41:16,942 --> 00:41:19,645
He was freaking out, and
that night I posted online
738
00:41:19,778 --> 00:41:21,813
about it and a Christian
friend was like,
739
00:41:21,947 --> 00:41:23,815
"I don't know, dude.
I'm skeptical.
740
00:41:23,949 --> 00:41:25,817
I think the kid just
wanted attention."
741
00:41:25,951 --> 00:41:28,787
JUSTIN:
Does the person need to
be a believer to receive?
742
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,789
Absolutely not.
743
00:41:30,922 --> 00:41:33,491
Nope, the funnest thing ever
is for somebody who just
744
00:41:33,625 --> 00:41:35,594
absolutely does not
believe in a god,
745
00:41:35,694 --> 00:41:37,596
and they get physically healed.
746
00:41:37,696 --> 00:41:40,031
This song is on
our second record.
747
00:41:40,165 --> 00:41:43,001
It's for anybody that believes
in the healing power of Jesus.
748
00:41:43,134 --> 00:41:45,003
This song is for you.
749
00:41:45,136 --> 00:41:48,339
If you need a miracle tonight,
this is a song for you,
750
00:41:48,473 --> 00:41:51,276
your family, your friends,
or whoever you're believing for.
751
00:41:51,376 --> 00:41:56,147
This song is called "No One
Leaves This Room Sick."
752
00:41:56,214 --> 00:42:01,620
*
753
00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:03,622
Get up on your feet!
754
00:42:03,722 --> 00:42:09,027
*
755
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,029
Let me ask you something.
756
00:42:11,162 --> 00:42:21,306
*
757
00:42:21,406 --> 00:42:30,982
*
758
00:42:31,082 --> 00:42:40,425
*
759
00:42:40,558 --> 00:42:42,594
JUSTIN:
To everyone's surprise,
the opportunity to witness
760
00:42:42,728 --> 00:42:45,063
Sleeping Giant's healing
power on a nonbeliever
761
00:42:45,196 --> 00:42:47,666
happens that night after
my cameraman, Mike,
762
00:42:47,766 --> 00:42:51,236
is hit by a car
in downtown Baltimore.
763
00:42:52,103 --> 00:42:54,005
I like flipped up onto his hood,
764
00:42:54,105 --> 00:42:57,008
then the next thing I know
765
00:42:57,108 --> 00:43:00,846
I'm like upside down,
my feet are over my head.
766
00:43:00,946 --> 00:43:04,950
I'm like, "oh, I'm being
hit by a car right now."
767
00:43:05,116 --> 00:43:08,386
Then it kinda lasted for
a second, but it probably
768
00:43:08,453 --> 00:43:10,689
was like super fast,
but it slowed down.
769
00:43:10,789 --> 00:43:13,859
I was like, "okay, soon I'm
gonna be hitting the ground."
770
00:43:13,959 --> 00:43:17,395
And then the car stopped and
I flew and I hit the ground.
771
00:43:17,528 --> 00:43:19,397
Does it hurt?
772
00:43:19,530 --> 00:43:23,301
I fell on my wrist and my
wrist is a bit like wonky, but.
773
00:43:23,434 --> 00:43:25,971
You got hit
by a car, man.
774
00:43:26,104 --> 00:43:28,807
Like, we'd be dicks if
we didn't pray for you.
775
00:43:28,940 --> 00:43:30,976
[laughing]
776
00:43:31,109 --> 00:43:32,978
What hurts?
What do I do?
777
00:43:33,111 --> 00:43:36,447
You just stand
here for a second.
You just hang on.
778
00:43:38,116 --> 00:43:40,118
Thank you, Lord.
779
00:43:40,218 --> 00:43:42,120
God, I just
really appreciate
780
00:43:42,253 --> 00:43:44,155
just the willingness
to be prayed for.
781
00:43:44,289 --> 00:43:47,225
Lord Jesus, I'm just
commanding all pain right now
782
00:43:47,325 --> 00:43:49,995
to leave this man's body
in the name of Jesus.
783
00:43:50,128 --> 00:43:52,798
And I just say, God,
even the residual effects
784
00:43:52,898 --> 00:43:54,833
that might show up
in the morning,
785
00:43:54,966 --> 00:43:57,669
soreness and stiffness,
we just say no.
786
00:43:57,803 --> 00:44:00,405
Okay, move your wrist
around a little bit,
787
00:44:00,505 --> 00:44:04,843
and let me know if it's the
same, better, or worse.
788
00:44:04,976 --> 00:44:07,445
Uh, it's better?
- Better, yeah.
789
00:44:07,512 --> 00:44:09,514
JUSTIN:
How do you feel?
790
00:44:12,283 --> 00:44:14,585
Not 100 percent,
but still better.
791
00:44:14,686 --> 00:44:16,855
Yeah, it's awesome.
792
00:44:18,589 --> 00:44:21,659
JUSTIN:
The next morning,
Mike's wrist is sore again.
793
00:44:21,793 --> 00:44:25,596
I tried to relax myself and
just to like let it happen,
794
00:44:25,697 --> 00:44:27,632
let whatever they were
doing happen
795
00:44:27,699 --> 00:44:31,436
and not really judge or think
about what they were doing.
796
00:44:31,536 --> 00:44:34,172
So I like really, really
tried to do whatever
797
00:44:34,305 --> 00:44:36,307
it was that I needed to do.
798
00:44:36,441 --> 00:44:38,777
I don't know,
maybe I tried too hard.
799
00:44:38,877 --> 00:44:42,213
JUSTIN:
Did you feel any physical
sensation in your wrist?
800
00:44:42,347 --> 00:44:45,183
Warmth, from like...
801
00:44:45,283 --> 00:44:47,953
um...
802
00:44:48,053 --> 00:44:51,990
sweatiness, 'cause
his hands were sweaty.
803
00:44:52,123 --> 00:44:55,293
So I know for myself that
I think it's for real,
804
00:44:55,393 --> 00:44:58,396
but I don't know
805
00:44:58,496 --> 00:45:00,665
the real explanation
for what happened.
806
00:45:00,799 --> 00:45:03,802
I just know what I saw
and I know it happened,
807
00:45:03,902 --> 00:45:07,205
and I know it was real
'cause I saw it happen.
808
00:45:11,076 --> 00:45:14,813
CHAD: We can heal the sick and
we can make the blind see again.
809
00:45:14,913 --> 00:45:17,749
We just have to believe
that God is gonna, you know,
810
00:45:17,883 --> 00:45:22,487
put that through us and use us
as the vessel to do that.
811
00:45:22,587 --> 00:45:26,057
JUSTIN:
I arrive with Messengers in
Jackson, one of so many cities
812
00:45:26,157 --> 00:45:29,060
bruised by the fallen
American economy.
813
00:45:29,194 --> 00:45:33,999
Hi, I just--I'm in a band
called Messengers,
814
00:45:34,099 --> 00:45:36,667
I just spoke to somebody
about getting free food.
815
00:45:36,768 --> 00:45:39,070
Chick-Fil-A has a policy
816
00:45:39,170 --> 00:45:41,239
to like help
out touring Christian bands.
817
00:45:41,372 --> 00:45:43,241
But since every
Chick-Fil-A's owned
818
00:45:43,374 --> 00:45:46,277
technically by a different
person and a different manager,
819
00:45:46,411 --> 00:45:48,279
they can like choose not to.
820
00:45:48,413 --> 00:45:50,415
So it's kind of hit
and miss sometimes.
821
00:45:50,548 --> 00:45:52,550
Fifteen free sandwiches.
822
00:45:52,617 --> 00:45:54,953
Same place?
- Yeah, this is it.
823
00:45:55,086 --> 00:45:59,557
Okay, cool.
And he said, put down reason:
random act of kindness.
824
00:45:59,624 --> 00:46:01,559
I was like, man,
God bless you.
825
00:46:01,692 --> 00:46:04,529
He was talking about how
it's just really nice to see
826
00:46:04,629 --> 00:46:08,133
up-and-coming bands doing
what God calls them to do.
827
00:46:14,705 --> 00:46:17,375
So they blessed us
extremely well.
828
00:46:17,475 --> 00:46:19,978
Fifteen free sandwiches
for all the band.
829
00:46:20,111 --> 00:46:29,120
*
830
00:46:29,254 --> 00:46:32,557
Hey, on an all serious note.
831
00:46:32,657 --> 00:46:34,826
You guys got problems?
832
00:46:34,926 --> 00:46:37,595
I've got problems,
so come and talk to me
833
00:46:37,662 --> 00:46:40,431
and I've got someone
that you wanna meet.
834
00:46:41,332 --> 00:46:44,302
This song is called "Anthems."
835
00:46:44,402 --> 00:46:57,415
*
836
00:47:06,124 --> 00:47:09,460
NOAH:
I told him I was gonna
go all the way there.
837
00:47:09,594 --> 00:47:13,098
I said I'm going all
the way to Missouri.
838
00:47:25,043 --> 00:47:27,512
JUSTIN:
We arrive in the town
of Joplin,
839
00:47:27,645 --> 00:47:31,216
which a month earlier was
devastated by a massive tornado.
840
00:47:31,349 --> 00:47:33,318
The storm left miles of
flattened neighbourhoods
841
00:47:33,384 --> 00:47:37,555
just a few blocks from the
concert venue, Solace Church.
842
00:47:41,559 --> 00:47:43,962
It's just crazy that it's
like literally right down
843
00:47:44,062 --> 00:47:45,964
the street from
where we're playing.
844
00:47:46,064 --> 00:47:47,966
JUSTIN:
What are your thoughts,
God-wise,
845
00:47:48,066 --> 00:47:49,968
when you see
something like this?
846
00:47:50,068 --> 00:47:52,070
Um...
847
00:47:53,404 --> 00:47:56,707
I don't really know where
God really plays into it.
848
00:47:56,807 --> 00:48:00,145
I mean hopefully
everything's okay
849
00:48:00,245 --> 00:48:03,514
with all the people that had
lost their homes or whatever.
850
00:48:10,588 --> 00:48:12,490
JOSHUA:
Whether you realize it or not,
851
00:48:12,590 --> 00:48:14,492
whether you think
you're good enough,
852
00:48:14,592 --> 00:48:16,494
whether you think you're
right enough,
853
00:48:16,594 --> 00:48:18,496
whether you think
you're holy enough,
854
00:48:18,596 --> 00:48:21,199
or whether you think that you
don't have anything together,
855
00:48:21,332 --> 00:48:23,334
God has put you in that
position because
856
00:48:23,434 --> 00:48:26,904
he can do it through you,
he wants to do it through you.
857
00:48:35,413 --> 00:48:37,282
Hey, let's move
around a little bit.
858
00:48:37,415 --> 00:48:39,284
This song is a fast one.
859
00:48:39,417 --> 00:48:41,286
This song's called "Weight."
860
00:48:41,419 --> 00:48:51,396
*
861
00:48:51,462 --> 00:48:58,970
*
862
00:48:59,104 --> 00:49:01,539
JOSHUA:
We became a church last year.
863
00:49:01,639 --> 00:49:03,541
Before that we existed
as Solace,
864
00:49:03,641 --> 00:49:06,444
simply as a venue ministry
where we would book shows
865
00:49:06,544 --> 00:49:09,080
in buildings around town
and around the area
866
00:49:09,214 --> 00:49:12,050
and host concerts
in those buildings.
867
00:49:12,150 --> 00:49:15,553
Shows, to us, feel as much
a part of our ministry
868
00:49:15,653 --> 00:49:18,323
as Sunday mornings,
if not more.
869
00:49:33,404 --> 00:49:36,241
Hardcore is a community.
870
00:49:36,341 --> 00:49:39,777
It is a church, family
for people that don't like
871
00:49:39,910 --> 00:49:42,480
most of the stuff
that's happening.
872
00:49:42,613 --> 00:49:45,116
Dudes with broken families,
like guys without fathers,
873
00:49:45,183 --> 00:49:47,085
like without real leadership
in their life.
874
00:49:47,185 --> 00:49:49,754
It's like this is a whole
community built on that.
875
00:49:49,854 --> 00:49:51,856
You know, and so within
the hardcore scene,
876
00:49:52,023 --> 00:49:54,492
it's like you can't begrudge
a bunch of kids
877
00:49:54,592 --> 00:49:57,095
that needed a family.
878
00:49:58,863 --> 00:50:01,099
[indiscernible chatter]
879
00:50:12,610 --> 00:50:15,680
So I wanna jump out on my
swing around a couple times,
880
00:50:15,813 --> 00:50:17,982
and then I want--,
you take me up,
881
00:50:18,116 --> 00:50:20,518
but then lower me down
on to the crowd.
882
00:50:20,651 --> 00:50:22,520
I'm gonna stand on them.
Okay.
883
00:50:22,653 --> 00:50:24,622
And then...
You'll undo and stuff?
884
00:50:24,722 --> 00:50:26,724
I can let go.
He can let go.
885
00:50:26,857 --> 00:50:29,460
The message that we have
to the kids that come
886
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,896
to a show like this would
probably be more
887
00:50:31,996 --> 00:50:34,499
to like shake them out of
the Christian bubble
888
00:50:34,632 --> 00:50:38,169
that they've been kind of
like programmed into.
889
00:50:38,303 --> 00:50:39,237
*
890
00:50:39,370 --> 00:50:41,972
* Barely only breathing
891
00:50:42,073 --> 00:50:46,043
* My differences, my fight
comes into the light *
892
00:50:46,144 --> 00:50:49,514
* And to shadows, that cannot
exist without the light *
893
00:50:49,647 --> 00:50:52,483
* Please refer to
the end of the page *
894
00:50:52,583 --> 00:50:55,653
* Stay with us standing alone
Come with us *
895
00:50:55,753 --> 00:50:59,757
* Stayed is a lonely ghost
896
00:50:59,890 --> 00:51:04,195
* Or break into death
897
00:51:04,262 --> 00:51:14,372
*
898
00:51:14,505 --> 00:51:24,549
*
899
00:51:24,682 --> 00:51:32,857
*
900
00:51:37,295 --> 00:51:39,464
Should be coming up soon.
901
00:51:39,630 --> 00:51:43,067
That thing said the back
gate was over that way.
902
00:51:43,134 --> 00:51:47,972
Weren't we seeing
a line of cars?
903
00:51:48,139 --> 00:51:51,075
Dude, the line's
already in there.
904
00:51:51,142 --> 00:51:53,478
Like everybody's in now.
905
00:51:53,611 --> 00:51:56,547
Here we go.
906
00:51:56,647 --> 00:51:59,049
JUSTIN:
Cornerstone is one
of the biggest
907
00:51:59,150 --> 00:52:01,152
Christian music festivals
in the world,
908
00:52:01,286 --> 00:52:03,554
with thousands of believers
gathering on a cornfield
909
00:52:03,654 --> 00:52:06,324
in Illinois to worship
with free spirits.
910
00:52:06,424 --> 00:52:09,260
It's like a Christian Woodstock,
except for the fact
911
00:52:09,327 --> 00:52:13,130
that everyone is completely
sober all the time.
912
00:52:13,264 --> 00:52:16,401
There is of course a hardcore
presence that started small,
913
00:52:16,501 --> 00:52:20,004
but in recent years has grown
to become the dominant voice
914
00:52:20,104 --> 00:52:24,442
of the youth, despite still
being relegated to side stages.
915
00:52:24,509 --> 00:52:27,512
The festival marks another
milestone for Messengers'
916
00:52:27,645 --> 00:52:29,580
first year on the road,
917
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,283
and they're excited to make
a name for themselves.
918
00:52:32,350 --> 00:52:35,453
Oh yeah, that's hardcore.
919
00:52:35,586 --> 00:52:38,489
That's perfect that you're
walking with me right now.
920
00:52:49,133 --> 00:52:51,436
This song's called
"Shipwrecked."
921
00:52:51,536 --> 00:52:53,538
It's the first song...
[unclear]
922
00:52:53,638 --> 00:52:55,506
*
923
00:52:55,640 --> 00:53:05,483
*
924
00:53:05,616 --> 00:53:11,489
*
925
00:53:11,622 --> 00:53:13,958
* As I lose my patience
926
00:53:14,058 --> 00:53:16,961
* What good are the
faceless faces? *
927
00:53:17,061 --> 00:53:19,297
* Tracking my beaten path
928
00:53:19,397 --> 00:53:24,735
* Simply searching for
the places I can't find *
929
00:53:24,902 --> 00:53:28,072
* I sing for better days
930
00:53:28,172 --> 00:53:30,475
*
931
00:53:30,575 --> 00:53:32,977
* Moving past
what never came *
932
00:53:33,077 --> 00:53:36,213
*
933
00:53:39,083 --> 00:53:42,320
JUSTIN:
This year, For Today have
a set on the main stage,
934
00:53:42,420 --> 00:53:44,822
usually reserved for the
biggest names in Christian pop,
935
00:53:44,922 --> 00:53:46,857
bringing hardcore
right into the mainstream
936
00:53:46,991 --> 00:53:48,993
of the festival.
937
00:53:54,432 --> 00:53:56,867
Cornerstone, this might
be new to some of you.
938
00:53:57,001 --> 00:53:58,869
Scripture says that
even righteous deeds
939
00:53:59,003 --> 00:54:01,105
are as filthy rags to God.
940
00:54:01,238 --> 00:54:03,874
So even the good things
that you do, even things
941
00:54:03,941 --> 00:54:06,010
like feeding the hungry
and clothing the poor
942
00:54:06,110 --> 00:54:08,012
and taking in widows
and orphans,
943
00:54:08,112 --> 00:54:11,349
as nice as those things are,
if not done from the place
944
00:54:11,449 --> 00:54:14,018
of obedience to and a
relationship with God,
945
00:54:14,118 --> 00:54:16,787
are completely worthless
and disgusting to God.
946
00:54:16,921 --> 00:54:19,690
If you're not daily walking
in a place of relationship
947
00:54:19,790 --> 00:54:22,960
to God, then the news that
we have to bring you
948
00:54:23,093 --> 00:54:25,763
is that you're on your way
to hell right now.
949
00:54:25,896 --> 00:54:35,239
*
950
00:54:35,306 --> 00:54:45,316
*
951
00:54:45,483 --> 00:54:55,460
*
952
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,829
*
953
00:54:58,963 --> 00:55:01,966
JUSTIN:
Later that night we find
an impromptu show taking place
954
00:55:02,066 --> 00:55:04,001
in a chicken coop
on festival grounds
955
00:55:04,134 --> 00:55:06,136
with members or different
hardcore bands
956
00:55:06,236 --> 00:55:08,339
playing cover sets.
957
00:55:10,841 --> 00:55:12,843
* Revival
958
00:55:12,977 --> 00:55:14,479
*
959
00:55:14,579 --> 00:55:16,447
* Revival
960
00:55:16,581 --> 00:55:18,616
*
961
00:55:18,749 --> 00:55:20,618
* Revival
962
00:55:20,751 --> 00:55:22,319
*
963
00:55:22,453 --> 00:55:24,321
* Revival
964
00:55:24,455 --> 00:55:26,090
*
965
00:55:26,190 --> 00:55:28,092
* Revival

*
967
00:55:30,194 --> 00:55:32,096
* Revival
968
00:55:32,196 --> 00:55:33,998
*
969
00:55:34,098 --> 00:55:35,966
* Revival
970
00:55:36,100 --> 00:55:41,939
*
971
00:55:43,874 --> 00:55:45,776
JUSTIN:
It's July in Illinois
972
00:55:45,876 --> 00:55:48,779
and the heat and humidity
are intense.
973
00:55:55,119 --> 00:55:56,987
I feel terrible.
974
00:55:57,121 --> 00:56:01,291
I got probably about three,
three and a half hours of sleep.
975
00:56:01,392 --> 00:56:04,862
I woke up and ate a Pop-Tart
and that's all I've had.
976
00:56:04,995 --> 00:56:07,031
I've been drinking water
pretty crazy,
977
00:56:07,164 --> 00:56:10,701
but it's just, it was insanely
hot up there.
978
00:56:10,835 --> 00:56:14,405
If you're like me and
you're listening to hardcore
979
00:56:14,539 --> 00:56:17,307
and hardcore was
refuge for you,
980
00:56:17,408 --> 00:56:21,879
but you feel like, hey,
as I get more into hardcore,
981
00:56:21,979 --> 00:56:24,181
my walk with Jesus
is deteriorating.
982
00:56:24,314 --> 00:56:26,183
I know what that's like.
983
00:56:26,316 --> 00:56:28,986
So I mean, if that's
you guys, man,
984
00:56:29,086 --> 00:56:31,522
I definitely want to pray
with you guys.
985
00:56:31,589 --> 00:56:33,758
I definitely want
to get to know you.
986
00:56:33,924 --> 00:56:36,060
You know, we're all
growing like babies again,
987
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:40,498
and accountability and love
is how we get through that.
988
00:56:40,598 --> 00:56:43,601
So I'm Chad from Messengers.
Thanks for listening.
989
00:56:43,701 --> 00:56:46,003
[applause]
990
00:56:46,103 --> 00:56:48,172
JUSTIN:
As Messengers make friends
991
00:56:48,272 --> 00:56:50,441
and establish themselves
in the community,
992
00:56:50,541 --> 00:56:53,611
Sleeping Giant arrives
and Tommy goes to work.
993
00:56:55,446 --> 00:56:58,348
Jesus, thank you so much
for being like the best friend
994
00:56:58,449 --> 00:57:00,350
that some of us
have ever had.
995
00:57:00,451 --> 00:57:03,788
Thank you for being the
older brother some of
us have never known.
996
00:57:03,921 --> 00:57:07,024
Thank you being our father when
we didn't have the right kind,
997
00:57:07,124 --> 00:57:09,960
or thank you for being a mom
when we needed one.
998
00:57:10,060 --> 00:57:12,597
Thank you, God, that you
have taken care of us.
999
00:57:12,730 --> 00:57:15,032
I'm here, and I'm using
the word of God,
1000
00:57:15,132 --> 00:57:17,702
the promise that Jesus has
made me that all sin,
1001
00:57:17,802 --> 00:57:19,804
all sickness, all disease,
and authority is his.
1002
00:57:19,937 --> 00:57:22,873
We lay our hands on people
and we utilize the promises
1003
00:57:22,973 --> 00:57:25,810
and the word of God,
and we speak out the truth
1004
00:57:25,943 --> 00:57:29,279
of what he's shown us, and we
grab a hold of those promises,
1005
00:57:29,413 --> 00:57:32,049
and we say, you be healed
in Jesus' name.
1006
00:57:32,149 --> 00:57:34,051
And we see it happen.
1007
00:57:34,151 --> 00:57:37,321
Cool, so who here wants to
pray for the sick with me?
1008
00:57:37,421 --> 00:57:40,625
So why don't you guys
all join in.
1009
00:57:40,758 --> 00:57:43,260
You were born blind,
is that what you said?
1010
00:57:43,393 --> 00:57:46,831
No, I'm going blind.
Oh you're going blind? Cool.
1011
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:54,104
Eyes, you may not be blind,
you open now.
1012
00:57:54,171 --> 00:57:58,509
Every ounce of what the enemy
would do, we break you off.
1013
00:57:58,643 --> 00:58:03,247
We cancel your assignment and
we say you are finished, now!
1014
00:58:03,347 --> 00:58:05,916
So our position is that,
regardless of whether
1015
00:58:06,016 --> 00:58:08,953
we see it with our own eyes
instantaneously,
1016
00:58:09,019 --> 00:58:11,989
that we just, we put
our rejoicing in him.
1017
00:58:12,122 --> 00:58:15,626
I can't see perfectly,
but I can't see out of
my glasses anymore.
1018
00:58:15,693 --> 00:58:18,829
You can't see out of
your glasses anymore?
Mm-mm.
1019
00:58:18,963 --> 00:58:21,666
Hey, wow.
So I don't know--
1020
00:58:21,799 --> 00:58:25,135
So when you put them
on, what happens?
It's just all blurry.
1021
00:58:25,202 --> 00:58:28,639
I literally, like
it's just like blurry.
1022
00:58:28,773 --> 00:58:31,942
So when she puts on her
glasses, it's all blurry,
1023
00:58:32,042 --> 00:58:34,044
so she can't use
her glasses.
1024
00:58:34,211 --> 00:58:37,181
Yeah, pass them along.
That's awesome.
1025
00:58:37,281 --> 00:58:39,550
That's so awesome.
1026
00:58:39,684 --> 00:58:43,353
It felt like two hands were
just like pressing on my face.
1027
00:58:43,487 --> 00:58:46,957
And then it kind of got hot,
like tingling.
1028
00:58:47,057 --> 00:58:48,993
Like, yeah really tingly.
1029
00:58:49,059 --> 00:58:51,395
And you can feel like
the muscles in your--
1030
00:58:51,528 --> 00:58:53,664
Yeah I felt like they
were just like,
1031
00:58:53,731 --> 00:58:56,233
like I was blinking but
my eyes weren't opening.
1032
00:58:59,169 --> 00:59:04,208
I'm trying to stay committed
to my agnosticism
1033
00:59:04,341 --> 00:59:08,145
and embracing the fact
that I don't know
1034
00:59:08,245 --> 00:59:11,649
how she can see now,
1035
00:59:11,749 --> 00:59:13,984
as opposed to trying
to rationalize it
1036
00:59:14,084 --> 00:59:18,055
or disprove the fact that
it was God or whatever.
1037
00:59:18,155 --> 00:59:22,326
I can't explain the girl
with the no glasses at all,
1038
00:59:22,426 --> 00:59:26,430
but I don't think it was Jesus.
1039
00:59:29,867 --> 00:59:33,537
I was kind of in shock 'cause
I kind of doubted everything.
1040
00:59:33,671 --> 00:59:36,841
I didn't think like--I didn't
really believe in healing,
1041
00:59:36,941 --> 00:59:40,611
so I wasn't like really
focused on being healed.
1042
00:59:40,745 --> 00:59:42,780
I just thought like
the prayer might help.
1043
00:59:42,913 --> 00:59:44,949
JUSTIN:
How well do you
see right now?
1044
00:59:45,082 --> 00:59:47,618
I can see pretty well.
I can almost read now,
1045
00:59:47,752 --> 00:59:50,054
so it's kinda cool,
like it's coming back in.
1046
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,957
It's been happening slowly?
Yeah, like overnight
like it got better
1047
00:59:53,090 --> 00:59:55,926
and now it's even better.
Like I can read your T-shirt.
1048
00:59:56,026 --> 00:59:57,695
You can read the words?
- Yeah.
1049
00:59:57,795 --> 00:59:59,229
Really?
- Yeah.
1050
00:59:59,363 --> 01:00:01,231
Tell me what it says.
Dynasty.
1051
01:00:01,365 --> 01:00:04,268
There you go.
And then your other
thing says North Face.
1052
01:00:04,401 --> 01:00:08,706
EMMA:
Like this quietness came
upon me and I felt this warmth,
1053
01:00:08,806 --> 01:00:10,975
and kind of like
a pain over here.
1054
01:00:11,108 --> 01:00:13,443
But it's more of
like a dull ache.
1055
01:00:13,543 --> 01:00:17,214
Well this morning when I woke up
I covered my eye just to see,
1056
01:00:17,314 --> 01:00:20,217
and I was 100 percent blind,
but now I can see
1057
01:00:20,317 --> 01:00:23,420
a little bit of light
out of the corner of my eye.
1058
01:00:23,553 --> 01:00:26,623
Like I can't make shapes, but
I know there is light present,
1059
01:00:26,757 --> 01:00:30,127
which is more than I've ever
seen since I was six years old.
1060
01:00:30,260 --> 01:00:32,262
I'm getting baptized today
and I really think
1061
01:00:32,396 --> 01:00:34,932
in my heart, once
I come out of that water
1062
01:00:35,065 --> 01:00:37,434
from being dunked in,
I think I'll be able
1063
01:00:37,567 --> 01:00:39,937
to have a little bit
more sight at least.
1064
01:00:41,939 --> 01:00:44,441
Yeah, you can't really
screw up being baptized.
1065
01:00:44,574 --> 01:00:46,443
[laughing]
1066
01:00:46,576 --> 01:00:49,680
I got baptized at a For Today
show on New Year's.
1067
01:00:49,814 --> 01:00:52,116
They're like, yeah, well
God was telling us that,
1068
01:00:52,182 --> 01:00:54,484
you know, he felt we
needed to do baptisms.
1069
01:00:54,618 --> 01:00:56,620
We've never done this
before at a show,
1070
01:00:56,754 --> 01:00:58,622
and then people just lined up.
1071
01:00:58,756 --> 01:01:01,025
And Mattie, the lead singer,
was baptizing people.
1072
01:01:01,158 --> 01:01:03,694
It was pretty awesome.
I didn't know he was bap--
1073
01:01:03,828 --> 01:01:06,130
I thought it was the pastor
that was baptizing.
1074
01:01:06,196 --> 01:01:09,834
I got up and I was like, oh my
gosh, and like freaked out.
1075
01:01:09,967 --> 01:01:11,836
Why'd you
freak out?
1076
01:01:11,969 --> 01:01:13,971
Well 'cause I like Mattie.
1077
01:01:19,309 --> 01:01:23,480
MAN:
In Hebrews it says
that God is real
1078
01:01:23,613 --> 01:01:26,650
and he is an earnest rewarder
of those who seek him,
1079
01:01:26,784 --> 01:01:28,652
and that's by faith
1080
01:01:28,786 --> 01:01:31,155
and the faith in your heart
that he's real
1081
01:01:31,288 --> 01:01:33,557
and he'll reward you
when you seek him.
1082
01:01:33,690 --> 01:01:36,026
[praying quietly]
1083
01:01:41,065 --> 01:01:44,735
Emma, upon your confession of
faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,
1084
01:01:44,902 --> 01:01:48,038
I now Baptiste you in his name.
1085
01:01:48,138 --> 01:01:50,007
I'm gonna pray for you now.
1086
01:01:50,140 --> 01:01:52,142
[praying quietly]
1087
01:01:52,242 --> 01:01:54,912
[applause]
1088
01:01:57,181 --> 01:01:59,349
Yeah, Jesus!
Yeah Jesus, right?
1089
01:01:59,416 --> 01:02:01,418
Amen.
1090
01:02:01,685 --> 01:02:03,553
We'll just pray
for you right now.
1091
01:02:03,687 --> 01:02:05,856
Everybody lay hands on her.
1092
01:02:07,057 --> 01:02:10,895
Father, I just ask right now
that you heal her vision, God,
1093
01:02:10,995 --> 01:02:12,897
that she is your creation
1094
01:02:13,030 --> 01:02:16,200
and you have made her
in your image, Father.
1095
01:02:16,266 --> 01:02:19,937
MAN:
Release healing right now
in the name of Jesus.
1096
01:02:20,104 --> 01:02:22,206
Into this optic nerve,
we just command everything
1097
01:02:22,272 --> 01:02:25,209
to go into its proper alignment,
into its proper place
1098
01:02:25,342 --> 01:02:27,444
right now in the
name of Jesus.
1099
01:02:27,577 --> 01:02:29,914
WOMAN:
Jesus, you are the
great physician, Lord.
1100
01:02:30,014 --> 01:02:32,082
All things can be done
through you.
1101
01:02:32,216 --> 01:02:37,454
We all know, Lord, that you made
Emma's eye to be able to see.
1102
01:02:39,223 --> 01:02:41,225
Thanks.
1103
01:02:43,127 --> 01:02:45,029
Do you feel anything different?
Yeah.
1104
01:02:45,129 --> 01:02:47,697
Your eye looks so different
to me because it's straight.
1105
01:02:47,798 --> 01:02:50,100
Like it's freaking me out.
It's not lazy anymore.
1106
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,102
It's not droopy like it was.
1107
01:02:52,236 --> 01:02:54,271
I do see a little bit
more light.
1108
01:02:54,404 --> 01:02:56,740
But you've not seen
light in it at all?
1109
01:02:56,807 --> 01:02:58,708
For ten years.
1110
01:02:58,809 --> 01:03:02,712
That's so crazy.
That's so great. Yes, Jesus.
1111
01:03:05,149 --> 01:03:07,051
Thank you, guys.
1112
01:03:07,151 --> 01:03:09,553
Just keep praying, every
half an hour I think.
1113
01:03:09,653 --> 01:03:11,655
[laughing]
1114
01:03:12,156 --> 01:03:15,993
JUSTIN:
After the baptism, we all make
our way back to the music tents
1115
01:03:16,093 --> 01:03:18,462
where Sleeping Giant is
set to close the festival
1116
01:03:18,595 --> 01:03:21,631
with the final headlining
slot of the night.
1117
01:03:21,765 --> 01:03:24,601
I'm here to worship you, Lord.
I really am here
1118
01:03:24,668 --> 01:03:27,571
to lift up the sound from
my heart to you tonight.
1119
01:03:27,671 --> 01:03:29,840
Please give us language
that's real for tonight,
1120
01:03:30,007 --> 01:03:32,509
Lord, even if the songs
or whatever, God,
1121
01:03:32,642 --> 01:03:34,744
please give us the language
to worship you.
1122
01:03:34,845 --> 01:03:37,147
I bless the guitars
and their tone.
1123
01:03:37,247 --> 01:03:39,649
I pray that they prophesy
with their instruments, God.
1124
01:03:39,783 --> 01:03:42,152
Thank you for [unclear]
I pray that you would
1125
01:03:42,286 --> 01:03:44,588
prophesy with the drums, God,
that there be something
1126
01:03:44,688 --> 01:03:47,257
communicated to people
in the beat, in the drive,
1127
01:03:47,357 --> 01:03:49,259
in everything, God.
1128
01:03:49,359 --> 01:03:52,596
That this would be like Biblical
worship taking place, God,
1129
01:03:52,696 --> 01:03:55,799
that it would transform people
in the name of Jesus, Lord.
1130
01:03:57,001 --> 01:03:58,936
Let me hear your glory song!
1131
01:03:59,036 --> 01:04:01,038
This is our worship.

Jeee-sus Chriiiiist!
1139
01:04:27,664 --> 01:04:30,567

because of the blood of Jesus?

01:08:02,179 --> 01:08:05,349
[din of crowd praying]
1193
01:08:13,790 --> 01:08:16,726
Is there any progress?
- Yes.
1194
01:08:20,464 --> 01:08:23,133
I can't see,
but I can feel it.
1195
01:08:48,325 --> 01:08:52,996
Yeah, I'd say there are things
attractive about a community
1196
01:08:53,129 --> 01:08:56,900
that is really bound
by love and respect.
1197
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,169
Um...
1198
01:08:59,769 --> 01:09:05,475
However, I still cannot...
1199
01:09:05,609 --> 01:09:07,611
believe anything other
than the fact that
1200
01:09:07,744 --> 01:09:12,849
that love and respect is
still predicated on an illusion.
1201
01:09:15,084 --> 01:09:19,989
So I can't say that I envy
someone who is in that position,
1202
01:09:20,123 --> 01:09:23,793
no matter how happy
it makes them.
1203
01:09:27,431 --> 01:09:29,999
JUSTIN:
Messengers van died the day
after they left Cornerstone,
1204
01:09:30,133 --> 01:09:32,636
cutting their tour short.
1205
01:09:33,970 --> 01:09:38,342
I would love to see
Messengers be
1206
01:09:38,475 --> 01:09:41,945
the beacon of faith
for the hardcore kids.
1207
01:09:42,045 --> 01:09:46,316
I stand for hardcore,
but I stand for hardcore
1208
01:09:46,383 --> 01:09:50,119
because I want to bring
some kind of revival to it.
1209
01:09:51,054 --> 01:09:53,457
JUSTIN:
They still haven't made it
to Australia,
1210
01:09:53,557 --> 01:09:56,460
but continue to tour
all over America.
1211
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:58,628
What's interesting is
like at main stage,
1212
01:09:58,728 --> 01:10:00,630
there's like no one there,
1213
01:10:00,730 --> 01:10:04,067
but the side tents with all of
the kids where there's, I think,
1214
01:10:04,234 --> 01:10:06,135
another kind
of move happening, they're full.
1215
01:10:06,236 --> 01:10:09,239
I just think it's sort of
a testament to like God.
1216
01:10:09,373 --> 01:10:11,241
I didn't know how much longer
1217
01:10:11,375 --> 01:10:13,410
they can keep sustaining
this model anyway.
1218
01:10:13,543 --> 01:10:16,346
But the stuff that's birthed
out of word of mouth
1219
01:10:16,413 --> 01:10:19,483
and relationship and like
subculture, that's remaining.
1220
01:10:19,583 --> 01:10:22,719
JUSTIN:
Sleeping Giant's new record was
their most successful to date,
1221
01:10:22,852 --> 01:10:25,355
and the band's ministry
has grown to become one
1222
01:10:25,422 --> 01:10:28,758
that reaches thousands
of kids worldwide.
1223
01:10:29,893 --> 01:10:33,062
As for me, now, I feel okay
about sharing hardcore
1224
01:10:33,196 --> 01:10:35,999
with different voices
and beliefs.
1225
01:10:36,099 --> 01:10:38,868
I don't share their faith,
but for so many,
1226
01:10:38,935 --> 01:10:42,606
this music is a well of hope
in a broken world.
1227
01:10:44,107 --> 01:10:47,411
I may have returned home with
as much doubt and skepticism
1228
01:10:47,544 --> 01:10:50,113
as I had when
my journey began,
1229
01:10:50,246 --> 01:10:53,417
but my faith in people
is stronger than ever.

Captioning by Vertical Sync
1231
01:10:58,755 --> 01:11:00,890
It's time to wake up!
1232
01:11:03,527 --> 01:11:05,395
Wake up!
1233
01:11:05,529 --> 01:11:09,633
* Wake up and smell
the iron in your veins *
1234
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:15,204
* Wake up and smell
the iron in your veins *
1235
01:11:17,140 --> 01:11:21,545
* Wake up and smell
the iron in your veins *
1236
01:11:23,313 --> 01:11:26,616
* Wake up and smell
the iron *
1237
01:11:28,151 --> 01:11:30,554
* in your veins
1238
01:11:37,226 --> 01:11:40,397
* Take a number
and have a seat *
1239
01:11:40,497 --> 01:11:43,467
* Wait to be seen
'cause it's not over *
1240
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:46,002
* Till I said my piece
1241
01:11:47,637 --> 01:11:50,073
* Drops of my blood
1242
01:11:50,173 --> 01:11:52,476
* On these pages I write
1243
01:11:52,576 --> 01:11:55,278
* I'll be the change
with just my pen *
1244
01:11:55,412 --> 01:11:57,914
* And free compulsive minds
1245
01:11:58,014 --> 01:12:00,450
* I can't be a bitter man
1246
01:12:00,584 --> 01:12:03,019
* No, I won't be a bitter man
1247
01:12:03,152 --> 01:12:05,689
* It just leaves a taste
in my mouth *
1248
01:12:05,822 --> 01:12:08,024
* That I can't seem to drown
1249
01:12:11,094 --> 01:12:14,030
* That I can't seem to drown
1250
01:12:15,999 --> 01:12:19,002
* That I can't seem
to drown... *
