Oh God, I Forgot About That

In 1995, DC Talk released the song “Jesus Freak” on their fourth album. The album sold nearly 100,000 copies in its first week and became an instant sensation in the Christian music industry. Nearly 30 years later, it is still one of the greatest selling Christian albums of all time. In this episode, Teddi and Nick discuss 1990s Christian music culture, unpacking how the era both birthed and ensured its lasting impact. We treat “Jesus Freak” not simply as a highly successful song (AND album, book, music video) but also as a “blueprint” for the Church of the time – one that advocated for a new kind of defiant, radical, and unabashed faith that could bring hope to an increasingly fallen world. Join us as we excavate “Jesus Freak.”

Welcome to Oh God, I Forgot About That, the Introduction! 

Teddi and Nick take a few minutes to tell you a little bit about themselves, their friendship, their (somewhat) unique perspective, and why they're doing this absurd thing in the first place.
