Barlow Girl: Where are They Now?

[@mwajmlama2192]

Finaaaalllyyyyy…. These girls introduced me to Christianity being cool I was transitioning from Islam to Christianity… love from 🇰🇪

[@maryisborn8670]

Barlow Girl was the first Christian concert I have ever seen... with Todd Agnew and Warren Barfield...2002ish.

[@WallyShow]

That's awesome!

[@maxfrank13]

Warren Barfield was so great live. Todd and Barlowgirl too.

[@katywolffis7678]

Barlowgirl was one of the bands I loved growing up. Own everyone of their cds, saw them twice in concert. And I’m really excited to hear that they are writing music again!

[@c.adamvlasak2510]

Can this start being a thing? I really would love more Where are they now?

[@charitymitchell7174]

YES PLEASE!! I LOVW OLDER MUSIC AND I never get new music which makes me SAD so I wish I could at least know whats up with them

[@WallyShow]

Great idea!

Am I the only one who feels there's always been something odd going on towards Becca...? like somehow she was a bit aside, in the shadow, while Lauren and Alyssa acting like that was totally fine? I felt many times Becca was kind of uncomforable while staging... they talk about Becca leaving in such a totally fine fine way but something's is somehow still showing like they're leaving something out about this from the public eye

[@idontcaremuch6317]

It wouldn't shock me. It tends to happen in families where two become very close (usually true older two but not always) and the third is left out of the loop, or falls off. It's possible that tension just kept rising and Becca eventually decided there were other things she wants to pursue

[@mercycnwani]

Maybe she's just an introvert, like they said, and she just never liked the spotlight. Sometimes, not everything is as dramatic as we make it out to be.

[@AMVSUB2020]

They look so beautiful.

[@Damsel_in_This_Dress]

I can relate to BarlowGirl on the subject of marriage and dating because I'm a similar age to them and I'm not married either. But I feel like they kind of danced around the topic, talking about how much they love being single and how busy they are instead of being brutally honest about how difficult it is to meet someone in church, and how the purity culture of the 90s/2000s messed things up for people by making dating seem dirty. EDIT: I would strongly encourage anyone who still supports the purity movement to look at the fruit it produced. You cannot define purity culture as a great thing if the fruit it produced is overwhelmingly rotten.

[@Captain_Of_A_Starship]

I think purity culture is a great thing

[@Damsel_in_This_Dress]

@@Captain_Of_A_Starship Why?

[@Captain_Of_A_Starship]

@@Damsel_in_This_Dress Look into sanctification and holiness, I like purity culture because it falls into line with these. It didn't make dating "seem dirty," it rightly called into question some things many of us had an almost casual attitude about. I'm not however talking about the human side that comes in and muddies that all up but it isn't unique to purity culture as it also happens within groups taking on sanctification and holiness.

[@Damsel_in_This_Dress]

@@Captain_Of_A_Starship You didn't say anything about your reasons for supporting a movement which has emotionally scarred hundreds of people and been responsible for people leaving the church, other than to say that you like purity culture for its connotations with holiness. That's romanticizing. Do you know of any real life stories from Christians (current or former) who were affected by it?? Many Christians were badly affected by following purity culture, some of them catastrophically. Staying pure was about being rewarded with marriage and a fulfilling sex life in the end (even though there's no biblical basis for this). It caused so much fear, guilt, and shame about sex, sexuality and relationships. If you were female, you were taught that your body was the enemy: an object of desire or loathing which only belonged to your future husband or to God, but not to you. I mean, purity culture placed the burden and responsibility of men's sexual sin on the shoulders of adolescent girls. Think about that. I find it interesting that contemporary worship songs praise God for setting us free, for the amazing power of God's love, grace and salvation, and yet this is simply not echoed in purity culture. Nothing about 'purity culture' was about living life in the freedom of God's light and love - it was about living in fear. I know that BarlowGirl were heavily influenced by Harris' books and purity culture as a whole. They liked the idea of group dates. They thought that if a guy was interested in them, then he should talk to their father first. They wrote a song about it called 'Average Girl', about shunning dating and waiting for the man they would marry instead. They once said in an interview that they believed that God had one perfect man for them, so they didn't have to search for him, because when the time was right, God would bring them together. I wonder what they believe now? It sounds like you are one of the fortunate ones who escaped the turmoil, hurt and confusion that purity culture unleashed. Count yourself blessed. Many others didn't.

[@Impossibly_gorgeous]

No offense to you but if you're having trouble finding someone, it doesn't mean these girls are too. Maybe they really are happy where they are. Most men love Godly women. So finding a companion for the girls is not a problem. Paul in his letter to the Corinthians exhorts those who can stay single to do so. Because marriage is littered with problems. These girls' stance is scriptural. Not every unmarried woman is unhappy. Unhappiness ages you. These girls have aged gracefully, on the contrary. Believe it or not, marriage is NOT a priority for some girls. Normalize being happy for women who are happy without a man on their arm. If you want to get married to a good man, pray about it. Don't project your insecurities on them.

[@jenniferkozlowski3044]

Just ran into this. Thank you for doing this. I remember the day that Lyssa posted their goodbye like it was yesterday. I cried that entire week. I wanted them to be my first concert sooooo bad. They influenced me in so many ways. 10 years later, they're still one of my top 10 favorite artists (and I have almost 100 favorites). Please, please make new music! Even if it's just live recordings from your piano room, I'd love to hear new music! I honestly believed I'd never hear new music from you guys, but now I have hope that one day, we'll hear new music! The day this happens, my tears will not be due to sadness, but because of joy!

[@GopherwoodExpress]

Me and my sister had to stop what we were doing and watch this when I found it in my feed. So good to hear from them after so long!

[@WallyShow]

Thanks for watching, Emily!

[@VenBrookeHQ]

This is so weird. I was reminiscing a week ago and remembering festivals I did security at and all of the amazing musicians I met. I am sure it was the same day that I did personal security for the Girls and Jeremy Camp in 2006. I found this video and it came out roughly the same time I was reminiscing. I can't wait to see where this leads next. (I did see Barlow Girl three more times after that.)

[@WallyShow]

That's crazy! Thanks for watching. - Betty Rock

[@deannaheil8721]

@@WallyShowI have a picture that my daughter drew when she was in high school of the Barlow Girls. It’s pretty fantastic. Any way I could get a picture to one of the Barlow Girls?

[@CarlaHowe.]

Oh my gkodness! I don't know how I didn't know this happened! BarlowGirl helped me more than I could ever explain! While listening to their song Never Alone for the very first time, I had my first ever God experience. I felt His arms wrap around me and then a huge weight lift off my chest. I felt Him tell me that I was going to be okay. That He was there, and always had been. I met many of my good friends through them and SoundPost. I was devastated when they announced they were stepping away from music. I felt like my lifeline, or my connection with God was going away. (I know now that it didn't.) And now, I'm married with 2 kids and am so unbelievably excited that they're doing music again! I hope they will release some and I pray that God uses them again through their music. I just know how much they helped me, I want more people to experience it. 💛 Thank you for this!!!

[@stormalexa8817]

My sister and I LOVED Barlow Girl as kids. I’ve enjoyed your old interviews with them as well. I’m so glad to see this!! Please do more!

[@JennH]

Thank you for this. They have written/sung some of my favorite pieces. And the beginning of this interview is something that I definitely needed to hear!

[@opnoah2085]

Loved this band as a kid in the late 2000s early 2010. Rediscovered them for the first time in almost 10 years yesterday and ohhhh boy has the nostalgia been high

[@williamkirkland7002]

I have ALWAYS loved BARLOWGIRL, my fav. Song was "I NEED YOU TO LOVE ME" As my world ended with a divorce, death of several family members all in the same year. I didn't feel love,I felt pain as the only real feeling. I needed GOD to love me at this time. Thanks for this interview video. Im Sooooo happy to know that BARLOWGIRL girls are all okay in 2022.🙌HALLELUJAH 🙌 I still love you from Tampa Bay Florida, USA.

[@theresarosemitchem6431]

I was hoping they would come back! Grew up listening to them. Didn’t realize we were so close in age! Still learning from them!

[@FlyFisherForMen419]

I just stumbled on this video after recently introducing my oldest daughter to @barlowgirl music. She just turned 10 and recently gave her heart to Jesus. The song #NeverAlone has stuck with her. I believe it helps her to understand the constant presence of the Holy Spirit as part of her being. I hear her singing it in the shower in the morning. All this to say, that I'm elated to hear that you girls are starting to write again!!! Praise the Lord!! We need a wave of Christ lead female influencers in music and social media! I'm looking forward to seeing how God leads. My prayers are with you and many blessings to you @barlowgirl! #BarlowGirl

[@abigailbracho8512]

Really enjoyed watching this! Excited to hear they’re writing again. (My favorite band as a teen.) But even more happy to hear about their healing in the past few years. Blessings and greetings from Venezuela!

So awesome to find this interview!!!! Wow! Barlow Girl was one of my top favorite Christian bands when i was in high school! A beautiful and awesome ministry of music and testimony! God bless you guys!!!

[@nehielrivera6563]

Listening to the end of this interview really hit home. I have been going through some heavy things with family that has turned my world upside down. You guys talking about forgiveness, loss, sadness, really hit home with a reminder to hang on to God through the most difficult times of life.

[@kerrykeil]

This made my day ❤️ love to hear that they’re thinking about doing music again.

[@scottalan5282]

Doing a bit of reminiscing from youth ministry days 2 decade's past, I literally went from Superchick's "Barlow Girl" to THE Barlow Girl's "Never Alone" to bumping headlong into this interview in a matter of 20 minutes. We often ask ourselves "whatever happened to?" and wonder what God is doing in an artist's or band's lives in our current time. This was great. I wish I had the vitality of these two, and to have a lifelong "soul mate" you connect with this deeply is one of this earthly life's greatest blessings.

[@Isaiah79Rocks]

I completely relate to the whole relationship/marriage conversation. Gosh, BarlowGirl is the best for sure. I had a huge crush on them in my teen years. But they look exactly the same age, which is crazy. Thank you Wally for bringing these beautiful women back in the spotlight, I have missed seeing anything from them. Blessings!

[@amyhellerford9422]

I'm so sorry for the deep rejection! I'm going through some rejection too & betrayal. VERY painful & makes no sense!

[@AMVSUB2020]

Pray for the Barlow sisters, please.

[@AlphaGator9]

So love their music! I was saddened when God led them to walk away from music, but i have no sorrow that they honored what God is leading them in their lives. I know this interview was 3 years ago, and this is just a single fan from West Virginia, please pass along my thanks.

[@jrad326]

It was way too amazing to see you two again. That level of hurt, rejection, and betrayal is one I know personally. I completely understand needing to keep things private. I wish I could sit down with y’all personally and share our moments of struggle and growth. I found myself resonating with David. When I read the Psalms they became more real than ever. I felt his deepest pain and bleeding cries to the Lord. I understood those moments of joy and forgiveness. Those moments of let there be justice, Lord. Those moments of I know You are faithful but right now I feel alone. It’s difficult to go through, but to know we were not walking through this situation alone was so good. I don’t want to deal with this level of hurt and betrayal again, but if it brings me closer to Him…then may it be for His glory.

This was such a blessing to see and hear! God used Barlow Girl mightily in my life when I was a teenager. It was so incredible to have strong, powerful, godly woman who modeled purity and godly lives. I went through a lot of hard things in my teen years and many of their songs saw me through and helped me to stay connected to God. I am so grateful to God for them, for the healing they went through and would be so excited if they produced music again! Love these girls!

I know this is a 2year old interview. But these girls got me through so much growing up, the hurt and loneliness I experienced as a teen even into my adulthood.

Wally Show, I know this is an older video, but I feel compelled to say...for us folks that have been fans for a long time, I think we were all invested in the Barlow Girl philosophy to courtship/dating and purity etc. They were a big reason I decided to practice courtship. We don't need to know about their personal life, but it would be so neat to know now how they feel about that philosophy.
