weird thought, it may or may not be true... but is this project a Christian project, or related to religion in any way? Most of the lyrics have to do with keeping faith, uniting, and loving one another. and both Adam and Jesse thanked God first thing in the "thank yous"
I know that Jesse is extremely religious, not sure about Adam.
Another reason I'm led to believe it is a Christian band is because they are touring with War of Ages and I think a couple other Christian bands. As long as the music's good, let them sing about what they want.
TUPAC IS DEAD/THE LEGEND IS GONE/THEY SAYIN TUPAC'S BACK?/DEM NIGGAS WRONG
Yeah I noticed that at mayhem. Someyhig along the lines of god bless you all. I thought it was strange since the first thing he did on stage was stick his middle finger in the air and yell "hey bristow! Stick this in in your fucking pipe and smoke it!"

Just because someone believes in God and appreciates them doesn't mean they can't say any potty words, which some people seem to believe. I personally don't believe, but my hardcore Christian friend is really critical on how to act and whatever. To each his own, as long as it helps people it's not bad.

was a hardcore "band" at my school that wanted to go CHxC. only member that didnt was the singer so they broke up. They got back together though. Funny thing is that they dont actually make music. they just say they're a band for attention. lol
I am a follower of the teachings of Christ, but I am reluctant to align myself with any particular denomination or sect. I find fault with much of the human comprehensions & interpretations of the word of God. I grow weary of the judgmental views of people of faith I also think it is worthy to note I remain open minded to other peoples view points & have learned much from calm discussions. However do not look to me as the shining example of what a "christian" should be. I strive to be righteous but I am a flawed human, just like all of mankind.
I write my music for everyone regardless of what you believe in or what your lifestyle is etc.etc.. So in short what I write for any band I am in, is my view of the world & my experiences. I strive to write with a very broad brush stroke so as to not exclude anyone. This also allows the listener to walk away with their own thoughts and feelings about a song. I find that this is very important as sometimes other peoples interpretation of what I write is much deeper than anything I could have come up with. I would not want to take that away from anyone! To me this is what art is for, expression & individual interpretation. Explaining art can kill art. Again this is just my view on things.
At the end of the day, we all have our own experiences that shape us & gifts we can use to do what we are "called" to do. The last thing I want is for people to put my life under a microscope & judge every word or action I do or say. After all I am just a man. My struggles are my own & not for display to the world. However I know God forgives & loves me & I don't have to prove that to anyone.
Also to make note not everyone involved with Times of Grace is a "christian".
So no, Times of Grace is not a "christian band".
Hope this helps with your thoughts etc. Peace & One Love

kinda interesting.

Plus, the whole album was written during his back problems. I'm sure he looked to God to help him through it.
