CCM in 3D

The year 1985 was a watershed year in the history of contemporary Christian music (CCM) as many groundbreaking albums of the genre were released that year. On this week's episode of CCM in 3D, the 3D's begin their recurring "deep dive" series by going track-by-track into one of the seminal albums of 1985: Petra's Beat the System. Fasten your seat belts and prepare to have your computer brains cleaned as Dan, Derek, and Dave look back at this classic album.

Most genres of music do a fine job of celebrating and remembering their history. Sadly, contemporary Christian music does not. When “classic CCM” is remembered, it is with more than a little embarrassment--like looking at one’s high school yearbook photos (“Ewww, look my awful hair!”).

We are hoping to change that. Welcome to the "teaser" for our podcast: "CCM in 3D."
