I didn't come from a Christian home. If you want to know one of the Christian heroes that shaped my life as a young rebellious teenager - it was CARMEN.
His music inspired me, taught me, and helped me grow as a believer.
He will be missed, but today this former bar performer turned Christian singer that touched so many lives, including my own, is with the Father and will see the fruits of his labor.
@sinbach I still get chills when I hear his song "The Champion"

@Berrybunchfamily @sinbach ME TOO! That's my favourite! (along with The Courtroom)
@sinbach EXACTLY. His story telling was unmatched. They may all be a liiiiiittle cheesy, but it doesn't really matter when everything he wrote had such truth to it. I'm always skeptical of people who don't like Carman (should add it to my left handed, watching movies with subtitles list)
As for your illegal activity.... no. You'd have found your way into rebellion with or without Carman. That I'm convinced of😂
@bethany he told stories in the way that we were talking about the other day. The Courtroom, The Champion, The Witch's invitation, Lazarus...I think the first Christian music video I ever watched was "Satan Bite the Dust." Believe it or not, my parents - who were not Christian - would not let me listen to Carmen because they said, and I quote, "If you are going to listen to Christian music - then listen to Christian music. Stop listening to that rap crap pretending to be Christian music." Upon thinking about it today, I realized that I started off secretly listening to Christian music that was not allowed in our home. So is it so weird that I do what I do today??? Did Carmen contribute to my illegal Christian activity today?
Maybe so
Maybe so....
