Leader singer for the popular hard rock band, 3 Doors Down, Brad Arnold, took an opportunity during a concert held in the later part of August to share his Christian faith with the audience made up of thousands of fans. Arnold told the folks who attended the show about how important it is to focus on Jesus Christ instead of the empty bill of goods our modern-day culture tries to sell you.
“I feel like I can identify with this song more than most of our songs,” he told the audience, making a reference to the next song in the set, “Away From the Sun.” “This world surrounds us with a message that we’ll never be good enough, we’ll never be strong enough, we’ll never be beautiful enough, we’ll never be rich enough. Whatever the case may be. Certainly that we’ll never win. Social media surrounds us with those messages all the time. It’s driven down our throats every day, that we’ll never be good enough and that nobody really, really loves us,” he continued.

The singer emphasized, “My friends, I just want to take a second to tell you, that’s an absolute lie.” Arnold added that the love of Jesus Christ is ever enduring. “You are loved. You are enough, and you will win. Not only can you win, but you will win. You’ll always be enough for one reason. And that’s because Jesus Christ loves you,” he stated. Arnold continued, explaining that in the eyes of Christ, everyone is loved. “Jesus Christ loves you so much that he made you just the way you are, just the way you’re standing there right now.” He said, “He also loves you to let you know that you’re not complete,” he continued. “I promise you there’s more, and you will win.”
The 3 Doors Down front man also pointed out a crucial truth in Christianity that we will always fall short of the perfection of Christ, but we are forgiven regardless. “I failed all day today. You failed today. But you’re still the one that Jesus loves,” Arnold said. He proceeded to lead the crowd in a chant of, “I am the one that Jesus loves.” He added, “Amen, my friends. Thank you so much.”
The Christian Tribune has reported on various different celebrities and musical artists who have openly spoken about their faith. Footage recently circulated across social media showing Justin Bieber sharing his testimony as to how he came to put his faith in Jesus Christ. Justin recounted a time in which he cried out to God. “I asked, God, if you’re real. I need you to kind of show me,” he said. He noted that he began to seek God instead of other worldly things. “And rather than seeking after these other things, I just kind of started looking to God,” he said.
The singer then shared, “And he showed me, you know, that I was worth saving, that I was worth dying, across the board, that I was worth in my life was worth that, that I was worthy. And showed me, you are. You’re worth it. you are. I died for you I love you. I forgive you, your retained, your mind, I love you, obsessed with you.”
Mainstream media outlets don’t report on this kind of stuff because to do so would showcase that people are growing more and more discontent with the things of this world, which promise complete satisfaction, but fail to deliver. Imagine reporting on how the gospel is being spread by people like Brad Arnold and other celebrities who have a lot of sway and influence on individuals all over the world?

Progressives would lose their minds to see these stories spread on major news networks, knowing it would undermine their narratives. Let’s hope that more and more musicians, actors, and others in the entertainment industry come forward and share faith in Jesus with the masses.
