From church pews to circle pits—this is the story of a musical awakening. In this episode, I dive deep into my journey from growing up on Christian contemporary hits to discovering the raw energy of hardcore, punk, and emo. From DC Talk and Jars of Clay to Underøath, The Showdown, and beyond, I break down the albums, bands, and moments that shaped my love for heavy music. Plus, I reflect on what it felt like to be in the pit, the unspoken unity of the scene, and why music has always been a spiritual experience.
