Casting Crowns - Slow Fade

[@jonathancarnahan5180]

I went to a Casting Crowns concert with my children....I was a raging alcoholic and bound by drugs.....when they sang this song I didnt know it was about adultery but it brought heavy conviction over me....I almost walked out of the church while they sang this song....but I couldn't leave because my sons were holding my hands one on each side ...looking at me in the eyes singing this song to me.....I was backslidden at the time so I understood how God was using all this conviction to wake me up......I ended up repenting about a year later....Bless Jesus....for breaking my heart again

[@megannason3649]

I've always thought that this song is not just about cheating, its also about how we raise our kids. Don't ever make a promise to your child that you don't intend to keep. It shapes their ability to trust not only you as a parent, but their ability to trust that God will keep his promises. It is perfectly okay to say to them stuff like I will try my best but this or that may happen, it teaches them that even parents have to live in the real world and sometimes things come up and plans change. You didn't break a promise, you told them you would try to get it done, its called managing expectations.

[@melisaburbine2909]

Wow, this is so well said. Thank you

As Jesus said in Matthew 5:37 "Let what you say be simply 'yes' or 'no'..." and also in James 4: "Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that."

[@ayushabraham7782]

So sad that modern contemporary Christian music and preachers only tells about your feel good moments and that God always loves you.. and here Casting Crowns warned about "slow fade" 11 years ago.

[@hydned]

Tho I understand the point, the music is to worship Jesus. We all love him, and he cares about us.

[@majose6837]

Yes this isnt worship but its a teaching through a song.its something you listen to and allow it to resonat in your spirit

[@JariRobberson]

It isn't about modern music...the reality is most Christians are so judgemental...easy to see why why songs like this may resonate for those coming to the church or those returning. But most Christians want perfect people in perfect steeples

In the song “Slow Fade," by contemporary Christian artists “Casting Crowns" the lyrics read: “The journey from your mind to your hands is shorter than you're thinking." The song is about the process of sin as it begins in our minds and transforms, through compromise, into actions.

[@romyreds8323]

You sir, or madam, are a mind far beyond most. Thank you for this.

[@anthonyelijah5335]

Yeah we have to protect what comes into God's temple and we are the temple ,when we rob from the temple we give a part of us to the enemy and we get comfortable with a small thought then it gets easier to sin another time and it keeps growing but we have the power through Jesus Christ to step over sin

The intro to this song is so chaotic, it truly shows the depth of how far sin will take you and the chaos it causes followed by the silent message, then the pick up where chaos starts again. Truly CC conveyed the message in its correct manor. Sin will take you farther than you want to go, and cost you more than you ever intended to pay.

My wife of 15 years abandoned me last year. I got home from work early in the morning with a "Dear John" letter. A few months before she left i caught her talking to another man. I would have never known she would leave me. Ever. I actually believed our only separation was death. We have been through multiple combat deployments in Iraq and I am currently in law enforcement now. That song is true. It's a slow fade. If only she sought the Lord and talked to me about what was going on with her. Her relationship with Christ is severed so I am doubly troubled because it's not just my relationship with her that's in trouble. She didn't leave me any contact information so I don't know if she's even alive. I am still hoping and trusting God will reconcile us together but I know she first has to reconcile with God.

[@nancystewart4788]

I know this song is primarily about adultery, but all sin is a slow fade. The more consumed you get in your sin the farther you get from the Lord. Nobody wakes up and says, "Today's the day I cheat on my spouse." or "Today's the day I become an addict or alcoholic." It truly is a slow fade, but will eventually consume you.

[@PERFpiggies]

Nancy stewart You said it. It definitely is how Satan gets us to turn away. Piece by piece till we wonder how our lives got so messed up.

[@ME-xy4qh]

Nancy stewart exactly. Yes this song is about cheating on your spouse. But all sin no matter what is a slow fade. Whether it is watching porn, cheating, using drugs, or what ever. It starts slow. Then all of a sudden you are in too deep.

[@elite5857]

Your children will know what love is by watching you. Parents be mindful the respect you show your spouse because your children are learning what is acceptable by watching you. If you don't show respect and love, your children will marry people who will treat them the same way. We have no idea the price our children will pay for the mistakes we make. I watched my mother struggle and vowed that I would never be like her, but in the end she showed me what not to do. I have a newfound respect for my mother because she suffered alot. She believed in men who continually failed her. One thing I learned that she never failed to pray through it all, and I am constantly praying to God and He has blessed me. I have a great husband and two wonderful boys. I live a life that is so blessed. Thank you God for blessing us!

There's no adultery, no drugs/booze/gambling - but this song gets me hardest when the little girl asks "Daddy do you have to?" My son misses me and is asking when I am coming home, and my wife tells me it's harder when I am gone because she misses me and everything I do. I play this every night when I am away.

The message in this song is so timeless. As Proverbs 4:23 states, “Above all guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” Also, Matthew 5:8 states, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see (experience) God.” If we desire to live a life of close communion with God, we must be “vigilant” In our thought life. We must take “Godly Fear” and “uncompromising integrity” in order to be all our “Creator” made us to be. 🤔

[@jacksonw3755]

It's amazing how parallel each by song by Casting Crowns is to real life. They cover almost every issue. I mean, I appreciate every Christians artist's message, but it's the songs by Casting Crowns that really make you think about things that occur in your everyday life that you wouldn't normally realize. Falling away from God doesn't always just happen immediately. It can be a slow process. You may not realize it at first, but no matter how small or how big a sin is, sooner or later, it can and will take control over you. Everyone makes mistakes, but it's very important to ask God for forgiveness, because if you don't realize that what you're doing is wrong, then that "slow fade" begins. But it can also be stopped. Not trying to sound like a downer, it's just something to think about. Fortunately, God loved us enough to send his one and only son to die for us to escape that slow fade. (Totally off topic, but what other religion could say that?)

True, and in those instances those actions (our sins) are caused by the iniquity we carry.

[@mechadoggy]

Speaking of family problems, I heard a sermon where the pastor's friend boarded a plane. He was sitting next to a woman who was praying. So he asked her if she was a Christian. The woman replied that no, she was actually a witch, and she and the other witches in her coven have been praying for the destruction of the Christian family. It looks like their prayers are working. This tells us how much we ourselves have failed to pray. The Enemy has already succeeded in getting his followers to pray against us.

There is a famous saying that says: "When elephants fight, it's the grass that suffer." Translation, when a mom and dad fight, it's the CHILDREN that suffer.

This song has so many meanings as we dealt with the depression and alcohol and tried to save him. For me the song slow fade is his alcohol & depression dragging him so low that he took his life. My daughter found him taking his last breathe and I found him an hour later. The price was paid....we deal with the night mares he left behind, we watched him slowly drink himself into a deep darkness. Today I struggle....I pray for Jesus to walk with me in these hard days....one day at a time

[@rachaelhilburger]

Jesus loves you, I am so sorry.

[@maameakua7902]

I am praying for you ,Jackson Swanson. Jesus the good shepherd will take care of you, His sheep.

[@dr4391]

God bless you so much, Casting Crowns, for writing and performing this song. It's so...anointed...It's the ONLY word to describe it. Resisting temptation is such an important skill for Christians to develop. James was right: 1. Submit to God (His half-brother), Resist the devil, and The devil will flee from you... Because Satan and his demons are cowards... But we need the training to resist and be reminded of that in church...God bless you.

“Daddies never crumble in a day”....dang this song is 😢

[@Sky-vj5fg]

*listening to casting crowns music* "Wow, I really needed this, some nice uplifting christian music to raise my spirits." *this song comes up* "..."

[@takeusernname]

Heather They aren't wrong though. God probably put this in your playlist next for a reason, you know? He does that. I know it did for me. Keep going, though! ^-^

[@avalon1108]

This song will always be relevant. Hope to hear this at their 20th Anniversary Concert this Friday.

[@allisoncomrie1330]

Thank God for His grace in those moments of decision. Through Christ, we can make the right choice even when it's hard. Thanks Casting Crows for the wake up call!

[@canaanclb]

what a very, very deep song. and so true, too.

[@MoreToTheTruthThanMeetsTheEye]

Yep - I ended up in foster care due to my parents breaking up. It is definitely life changing for children. God is our Father though and he filled my life with love and peace when I was adopted out of fostercare in to a Christian home.

[@douglasaraujo1766]

Muito feliz por sua superação irmão! Deus te abençoe

[@janahr8550]

This song focuses on a great message. “There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

@63years old I discovered 3 main things I was missing long long long time ago. 1-my God is the craziest god of all gods. 2-my God was & remain always & for ever in me. 3-my God has the most wonderfull plan for my life.

Divine inspired lyrics.... love Casting Crowns. "People never crumble in a day.....it's a slow fade"

[@waynewoolery3692]

I recently got an album with these songs. Such a positive reminder for us to be rethink before we act.

[@jesusfan4life546]

Amen to that 🙏

[@juliaallman1555]

Wow. Speachless. ....Your words and music come from a place of brokeness, wisdom, understanding, love and hope. God bless each of you.

[@faithsimon2721]

I love this song it always reminds me that no matter what we can turn to God and he will be there no matter what we say, do, see. I am amazed every day by God's grace for me, and everyone else.

[@roberttucker67]

Keep yourself heads up all who are listening. Prayers for us all 🙏🙏🙏.

[@Myself-anonymously]

This is one of those songs that is a sermon within itself . . . or rather, sermons are easily built around it, when you add the music video to it . . .

[@myselfmeandi5031]

I also agree with your other comment. All those who did not like this video definitely did not watch it till the end, where time rewound and the child helped her daddy make the right choice not to go on a business trip.

[@majose6837]

i love casting crowns they always deal with real life issues. Family breakdown is a slow thing it doesnt happen in a day. its what we allow that destroys us. We can make the choice of saying NO to the temptations of the enemy.

[@berthalungu7538]

Great message of how Sin can Rob us of happiness indeed. God bless you all Casting Crowns.

[@alphastarcar]

I’m just discovering this song on 4-24-21. It’s so powerful! Thank you!

[@ChristineMaz]

I literally just had a similar conversation with my estranged husband. It’s so cliche it’s eerie. I don’t know if the song is comforting or just calming to be seen. Thank you.

[@angieland2856]

Love it... it was my life, until the Lord found me❤

[@georgewhitworth9742]

I do. The sound of a lot of my childhood. And I hated it so stinking much. I was always in tears when they fought. As I got older and started raising my younger siblings, I would take them away from the shouting, away from the fighting. Even as a younger five year old I knew this wasn't how it was meant to be. I hope that I raised my siblings to know that was not how its meant to be.

[@JOHNWALLACE.]

THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT OF CHRIST JESUS! I LOVE THEIR MUSIC!!!!!

This song is so wonderful, so sad but true, it is a slow fade, families never crumble in a day, I just want to hug that little girl, I have been there too

​@@sarahcarvalho8113, I think your school must be better than most.

David Burton but every once in awhile, if you look back, you can spot a singular event that changed everything . That first time the daddy had sex with the other woman

Amazing book

[@rockandrollkng]

every single time I listen to this song I just want to hit replay at least 5 or 6 times in a row its just an amazing song love it

[@micheleeckmann8445]

Just because you turned away, doesn’t need to be permanent. Every day life can certainly be a struggle. But when you LET GO & let him in, your life become amazing. Trust me. I finally let go, and all my anxiety melted away. I’m broke, but I have faith that the promises that were made, will be made! Keep having hope! ❤️

[@jack1234473]

I didn't cry but when I heard it my heart broke. My names Jordan i'm 17 and I recently got born agian but the old disires have not passed, I still swear, look at pornography, and get angry with my mother. I pray for mercy and love everyday but I live in constant fear. I know i'm still blined and sin, i'm scared that i'm still lukewarm and that GOD will cut me off if I don't change. I had an abusive, cheating father as a kid so the porn and swearing came at an young age, and me and my mother try to get along but its hard. I don't want to sin anymore but every time I try to resist the temptation is to great. I still want to be GODS child but i'm so scared and confused. Please pray for me.

[@jack1234473]

+Lilussa27, Thank you brother

[@TheMistysFavs]

+jack1234473 --You truly have my prayers!! What you are trying to do, we all struggle with: crucifying the flesh. You can quit those things with Jesus' strength, and I can quit smoking and going back to old ways. Together we can "do anything through Christ who gives us strength"!! Keep praying, keep trying, read your Bible and pray..we just try harder the next day and soon it'll come. We need to lean on the Lord.. *it WILL come*!! You have all my prayers, my brother, hang in there! Jesus *will* carry us though and He will *never* give up on you or me, so we cannot give up on Him OR us either, okay? God bless you and yours, little brother!!

[@love3294]

try listening to Ricky Warren ,his messages have helped me a lot .

[@love3294]

Not only is it important to stay away from sin ,but I can't stress enough how important it is to seek God ,because only he can give you the true desires of your heart

[@Reebster100]

+jack1234473 Fill your life with positive things, church groups, volunteer work, positive healthy people, exercise and Christian music. Slowly your old ways will diminish and you will grow new positive habits and attract great positive Christian people at the same time. Praying for you!

[@ChuckSploder]

I needed this 2 years ago. I've fallen very far since then, with nobody to warn me as this song would've.

[@ruthphiri599]

This song encourages me to keep watch of my life.i have to do the right thing always.

[@cassandrathompson3097]

I cry pretty much every time I hear this song. I do remember the times that I woke up in tears from hearing mom and dad yell at each other. I don't want to follow their example in my life. God came in a has completely changed my life i still get the flashbacks and sometimes rock my self to sleep because of the pain and the memories. Please be careful all those who are reading this to be aware of the words you use. The ones my parents said to me all those years ago are really accessible for the enemy. Your thoughts turn to words. Your words turn to actions. These actions are what can harm those people in your family. Abba Father loves us very much. I want to honour him with my life. Eventually when i have kids i want to make sure that they do not hear or see what i have seen so I learn from my heavenly father what this means.

[@sheenak6088]

As a child, I witnessed my parents yelling and it got physical. Ever since then I was afraid and had these flashbacks and now that I am almost 18 years old. I still get them which causes my anxiety at night and I always balanced them because of it. But now, God is dealing with my heart and learning to forgive my parents for bring exposed to this at a young age. Lastly, I know once I become a parent I don't want my children to be exposed to this kind of negative things. Reading your comment gave me some encouragement. Thanks!

[@jennifersanchez282]

With god anything is possible. Even forgiveness. God forgave us for everything we will ever do wrong.let gods law lead your heart.godly not worldly. Keep your eyes up. Keep your eyes on the prize. Teach your children to forgive.

[@scottd1311]

“It's the second glance that ties your hands, As darkness pulls the strings…” gets me every time ❤😢❤

[@user-ru6mq5sc5n]

First time hearing this song. So incredibly sad cried most of the way through. The positive is it makes me feel more compassion for the souls of men and women and Jesus Christ my Lord may you use me to reach others. In your Holy name Amen🙂

[@melissastanley9248]

One of favorite bands. Every song tells story and speaks the truth. Food for thought. Love the videos that go with the song.

[@davidmanning4386]

This song here really hits home I’m here right now dealing with my stupid life choices and I ask god everyday for forgiveness

[@leslied.2475]

I wish i understood what words like this meant 28yrs ago.. but praise God He alone knows best.
