Consider this my personal "Summer of Soul". The way so many people in 2021 have raved about the importance of that documentary, I feel that way about "The Jesus Music." In charting the history of Contemporary Christian Music (CCM), a genre of music (and magazine) that…
Aaron WhiteSep 30, 2021Genuinely blown away. Aside from the nostalgia, there was a lot that I didn’t know about the origins of CCM, LONG before the dcTalk/Audio-A days (my era). A lot of it made me sad by the way they were treated by the “church”, and I remember seeing some of it growing up. And…
J.B. HuffmanSep 28, 2021Only a foolish man/woman would underestimate the power of a song or a voice to lift people spirits and renew their faith in a one true powerful force no matter the religious orientation. An insightful if ultimately by the numbers musical documentary that traces the…

My first introduction to Christian rock was an old VHS called the Keep the Faith Collection. It had soft rock, country, 90s rock, pop, an assortment of flavors really, and that was a beautiful thing to see that Christian music didn't have to be boring and stale. Fast…
WarhawkThe poster and marketing materials for The Jesus Music, an essential new documentary about the history of Contemporary Christian Music, touts that it's "the soundtrack to a movement," and that lofty description is surprisingly accurate. The filmmakers, who have previously…

Jesus Freak by DC Talk still slaps to this day. The world expects Christians to be perfect and name call after we make mistakes. I know this is what non-believers think when they watch this. But what the world needs to know is we're flawed sinful human beings just like…

Late Movie ReviewsJun 13, 2024Not great. Definitely contains some moments that are compelling, not least of which is the first third of the film. There's also some bits toward the end that I found deeply emotional. Even so, the film is quite confused and cannot get away from the fact its produced by Amy…

Loved the whole thing makes me look at the times I have been critical of something different and new . I need to reevaluate my attitudes.

It dares to tell an honest history, warts and all, from its inspirational beginnings, which led me to become a Christian to its rapid decline when I learned that even the godly were imperfect people. But then again, maybe God can still use these miscreants of music.

This film charting the rise of a “movement” that morphed into an “industry” is a mixed bag — upbeat and celebratory, contorting itself into a pretzel to avoid dealing with anything that might ruffle the potential audience.
