I've "retired" from worship recently. I realized a long time ago (when I was still a worship musician) that worship is only a vehicle to get us to where God really wants us -- working one-on-one with people less well off than ourselves (Matthew 25, sheep/goats). Today I teach Bible to recovered alcoholics and addicts at a city gospel mission.

Two of my favourite Christian albums are “Going Public” and “Take Me To Your Leader”. They had joined with Steve Taylor, whom I also love, to create great music. Given the many Christian artists who have begun to question their faith it is refreshing to see someone be so raw and honest about what the Christian music industry can do to a person. I pray he clings to his saviour and moves forward and grows in his understanding of God’s grace.

Praise God in Christ Jesus brother! John James you stayed alive and didn't kill yourself because you were and are a true son of God. Other's would have, and probably died already. But you, you chose to fight to survive. I did the same, I chose to follow Christ instead of of follow the world, where my best friend toured the world on Epic Records, I chose Jesus instead, he was more valuable a greater need in my life when I was seventeen. And when I backslid, like many of us do, I chose to want to live when a almost died of liquor poisoning. When went to work the next Monday after that episode my boss introduced me to them to be the minister to guide my to a fresh new journey the was similar to yours, where I also met my future wife now married since June 25th 1988. Peace in Christ. You inspire me Brother James.

What I will always remember of John James & the Newsboys was the fresh, extraordinary style of music that brought us all right into the center of the arms of God. The lyrics were always spot on and the energy of the music breathed life into the church. I often return to enjoy these timeless songs on my playlist. As a youth leader back in the 90's we were a part of many of those amazing concerts that remain secure as a special place in time where we all shared together in our journey with the Lord. In each season of life, we all have built our own kingdoms of fame in the ministry, but in the rise we can forget our First Love. The church of Ephesus is a constant reminder that we are not alone. The rebuilding process is a baptism of fire, a sanctification that reveals a pure finished product because of the grace of God and His great desire for us at a very personal level. That's when you become GOLD. The fall is always a means to being rebuilt into what God had already had in mind before we were ever born. The human element is no surprise to Him, yet when we find ourselves back on the potter's wheel His amazing love continues to astonish us. His measure of success is fully realized in knowing Him and the power of His resurrection.

I am not a fan of most CCM because I worked in Nashville in the industry back in the mid 90's and was astounded at what I saw and heard. I wondered how most of them could sleep at night. Kudos to the rest of the Newsboys for telling this guy he had to go. Most of them now hide their members' true lifestyles or worse, outright defend it. I dont know anything about this guy's sincerity but I can say this....I cant help but compare and see the massive differences in this interview with the recent interview with Russ Taff. While this man talks of sin and brokenness and repentance, Taff cursed throughout the interview and never once mentioned repentance. It was all about him and how he had been so abused and mistreated by life. The differences in the 2 attitudes are quite striking and very apparent.

Wonder-full testimony. My late husband was a very well-known Christian musician. At the outset, we were taught that if it's not happening at home, it's not happening anywhere. Phew! And, a song challenged him in that 'you may have a revered public position'... but do you love your wife? I'm astonished the band sacked you rather than help you, and that your 1st wife left rather than go through it with you, but as you say, Father took you out to make you whole. One day, we played Robin Mark's version of The Father's song. My husband wept and wept. He had 2 fathers who never wanted him for a moment, but the Father of fathers made him whole, too. Yay. All of heaven's love and blessings to you and yours.❤

With a lack of discipleship and only one hour a week sermon how will the men survive? They are not. Leader after leader is falling. Ironman a Christian response group is the only thing I have seen that successfully helps. The current structure of the church does not unfortunately only seems to perpetuate the problem with limited access to community, God and pretty options.

Thank you. My opinion: as CCM got bigger, its music became more commercialized and less cutting edge. At the same time, too many Christian artists put career above Christ. And too many Christians put spiritual and idealized demands on people that were musicians, not desert saints. Emotional and spiritual trauma has been the result in too many cases. I am glad you found healing through humility and repentance. God bless you, your wife, and your family.

Phil. 1 18What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice. It is too bad that so many of these Christian artists were so worldly behind the scenes and some have now complety apostacized.😢 Nevertheless, in His mercy, the Lord Jesus Christ used them in the lives of many young people, who like me have grown up to raise Christian families who we trust will faithfully, by His grace, bring Him glory in the next generation. I look back fondly on my younger days when I listened to the Neesboys. I am so grateful to hear of the sanctification in this brother's life. May God be glorified!

Christian music and success were not the problem. His own personal choices were. Peter Furler never had these problems.

Not sure what to think I pray his repentance is real . He is an amazing singer! And very gifted . He needs a male Accountability partner so bad and yet will he find one . Cause the church has no programs and is more worried about its reputation than redemption and healing to have a good program for fallen men or struggling men !

Anyone who wants to follow Him MUST pick up his cross (that is, must be willing to die on it) if not, He says you are not worthy to follow Him. So, if you're willing to pick up your cross, He will help you carry it till the end!

Yes, appearances can be deceiving. Even *this* appearance. If JJ had learned anything good from his journey, he wouldn't be on KZbin right now. So, if God is again merciful, JJ has another hard fall coming. I hope he learns something good from it.

The Bible warns not to put a novice in leadership, they are done wrong when that happens. It exposes them to temptations they're not ready for, when they haven't had a chance to grow roots, learn humility & God's word. They don't belong on a platform or in a pulpit, they need mentoring and time in church & with God. Their soul is more important than any ministry.

Did he repent or was he biding his time to get back to America? I do believe in true repentance, but upon hearing his testimony, it really sounded like he wanted to get back to his old ways to me.
