I'm paralyzed, and this song has been somewhat of a theme song for my life. In the late fall of 2003, when I was 19 years old, I had watched the movie "A Walk to Remember" and first heard this song. It was a rough period in my life, and at that time I was still able-bodied. The previous year I had graduated as Salutatorian of my high school, and received a full-ride scholarship to the University of Wyoming, but through a series of poor choices I had partied myself out of school. Not only that, but I found myself facing felony destruction of property charges for damage that I had caused while I was drunk. That summer I went back home, started a job in the oil field, and later moved into an apartment with a friend. While my oil field job gave me a little more stability, I was still making really reckless choices. Another friend of mine, who I would drink and get high with at college, moved back home as well, and it was his dad that I was working for in the oilfield. In fact, we both started working at about the same time, and we both continued to party together. About that time I received a deferred sentence, being a first-time offender, and was put on probation for the destruction of property charge. Needless to say, while my behavior was somewhat more moderated and restricted to the weekends, my habits did not change. When I was 12 years old, I received a gospel tract on a Halloween night, and I gave my heart and life to Christ. I didn't grow up in a churched home, but my life was certainly changed. I lived a pretty responsible and law-abiding life, at least up until about my senior year in high school. Even as I was living in a riotous way, I felt like God was drawing me to Him. I started listening to Christian radio stations and going to church, but not on a consistent basis. It wasn't long after that I watched the aforementioned movie above and heard "I Dare You to Move." I certainly felt convicted by my behavior and was trying to make better choices, but without much success. It was near the last week of December when I wrote a letter to myself, castigating myself for my behavior. The previous day I had taken a lot of drugs, and after the high I was extremely disappointed in myself. In that letter I challenged God with the words, "I dare you to move." Those words came directly from this song. However, when I said those words it wasn't in a provoking antagonistic sort of way with my fist in the air. Rather, it was more of a plea of desperation; a call to God to do something with my life. Three weeks later, on January 17th, 2004, I went snow skiing with a couple of friends in the Black Hills of South Dakota. I was a pretty avid skier, being a season pass holder to one of the resorts. After skiing all day, we went to a neighboring mountain where they had night skiing. It was there that I totally misjudged my speed going off of a tabletop jump. Rather than landing on the downslope, I landed on the flat just beyond. I broke my right femur, and coming down hard on my rear end, the force of the impact compressed my spine. While several vertebrae were damaged, the L2 burst, permanently damaging my spinal cord. God certainly moved, and I thought my life was over. In a very real way, it was. I knew I would never again walk, and feared I would never get married, never have kids, never be successful, and never amount to much of anything. The next few weeks for me were certainly dark. I went into a deep depression and thought my life was over. Somehow, the pastor of a church I had previously visited heard about the accident. He drove 2 hours to the rehab hospital I was located at, and gave me the book "A Purpose Driven Life." To make a long story short, it is through that book, and the Switchfoot Album "The Beautiful Letdown," that God used to help navigate me through those dark waters. I can remember specifically listening and reading the words of "I Dare You to Move." It's like God was now speaking to me through those words. A short time before I had dared God to move, and He did. Talk about a beautiful letdown. And then in that hospital room it's as though God began to turn the words around on me, "I dare you to move." It is through this experience that I learned what it really meant to say, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." This album ministered to me in ways you'll never know. It is through this experience that I gave God my life, even though it seemed very broken and worthless. I like to tell people that God broke the back of my pride so that I could truly walk with Him spiritually, and He has restored things in a marvelous way. Nineteen years later I'm married to my the best woman in the world, and we have 5 children. I've served three terms in the Wyoming House of Representatives, and have served in the ministry in various capacities, including in the pastorate and here on KZbin. Recent ministry challenges have ushered in another dark chapter in my and my family's life, but I count it all joy to suffer with Christ. "I Dare You to Move" is still very precious to me, and challenges me yet still. Thank you for sharing this song with me and so many others.

[@tonyathompson5898]

Wow thats an amazing testimony to what God can do. Thanks for sharing.

[@bullyduckuire]

Nice

[@New-ku3pu]

You're so brave for sharing your personal story.

[@electrictroy2010]

God did nothing. It was all YOU that did that stuff (both bad & good) .

[@luv2luv720]

People's testimony always get me emotionally! It makes my heart so happy to hear people praising God 🥰

[@kevindexcard]

Legendary song

[@JudeTolson]

Legendary Band!

[@angelab4664]

I knew it! I knew this version was going to be similar to the live version. This makes me so happy

[@delainnabatoon]

😭 I remember hearing this song (the whole album) 18yrs ago and it was on repeat for years. Now, my 17 year old is listening to it and hooked on Switchfoot. What a legacy you’re gonna leave behind just because you responded to Gods call on your life. Bless you guys!

[@nicoleviper4090]

The way he says "welcome to the planet...welcome to existence" just sends shivers down my spine every time its beautiful.

[@jerryzondangpalan8659]

how dare u to move😄

[@ashermain636]

Maybe redemption has stories to tell. Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell. Where can you run to escape from yourself? Where you gonna go? Salvation is here. ♥

[@ryanlott1109]

Feels like the soundtrack of my life. Thank you for these precious songs that have been a light through many darks times... God bless you guys. Don't ever stop

[@m-a-s-e-y]

Best comment 😂 %100

[@JaneyLuLue]

This album brought me through some pivotal times in my youth. Listening again in my 30's and it's a whole new message. This year has been rough for me and my family. Thank you.

[@noneofyourbusiness777]

Jesus christ is the light of the world.

[@riarebolledo8782]

i love you guys. this song reminded me of who i was, certain, fervent in my beliefs. now in my 40s, been lost for a long time. thank you for reminding me to look up and look for the north star.

[@SuperCaballero32]

one of the first song i learned when i started playing guitar more than 15 years ago... i still cry when listeting to it... its been 20 years of a lot of meaning to this song through my live.. i cannot explain this feeling. Thank you for this. Definitely thank God.

[@richboss619]

This song made me question myself and my power! It also was my anthem in my senior year of high school! Damn time goes faster than a bullet. There's a name of a song.

[@jonsid1545]

This band helps me get closer to God in ways i can't explain 🙏 God works in mysterious ways 😭😭😭

[@noahjwhitmore]

Anybody else start humming the beginning of Redemption at the end of this? haha. You can hear the 20 years of experience in this recording - even down to Chad's snare drum run up at 3:17, and his fill at 3:40. It's like having a studio version of the energy that they bring to their live shows! See you in October in Omaha!

[@pleasure.93]

one of the best songs ever #nostalgia

[@indrabar]

This song pushed me through some very rough teenage years when it first came out, and now, so many years later, the song has taken on a completely different meaning. Thank you

[@Brittbrothers2]

This feels like a love letter to all of us. Thank you guys!

[@ArianaHomeWrecks]

Beautiful remake just as good as the original - Switchfoot is my childhood. ❤

Jon, you have helped me reconnect with Christ through your music. Switchfoot, your music always pulled something out of my soul that still has me coming back to listen.

[@AMACHiiBiong]

First heard of this 2009, still bringing smiles and lifting moods 🙌🏽

[@Keverember]

Doesn’t matter how many times I hear it, I get choked up when Jon comes in with “Maybe redemption is stories to tell.” Speaks to me about testimony and reminds me of all that Jesus has done in my life and those around me. Thank you for this album and thank you for releasing your version. You have been and always will be my family’s favorite band. Much love!

[@noneofyourbusiness777]

Except he didn't.

[@cheryllindsay7718]

Beautiful and deeply moving!

[@stormboy-official7261]

Switchfoot, thank you. I remember when this song first came out on Learning To Breathe, and then when the revised version showed up on The Beautiful Letdown. This is like combining both of them, with a nod to the last twenty years. Might bring a few tears of joy. So amazing. I'm having flashbacks of volunteering at the Bro-Am in 2019. I couldn't thank you guys enough for all the years of inspiration.

[@timothyfreeman97]

ICONIC TRACK! everyone has memories to this song.

[@BoredSai95]

my dad showed me this song when he introduced me to your music and since then it's one of my favorites! this is beautiful :DD

[@abbieamavi]

one of the best concerts I've ever been to was seeing y'all in Portland Oregon. Thanks for being the soundtrack to my childhood, all of my teen years, and now into my 20s :)

[@Shadowninja1200]

This song is my anthem. It has consistently stayed one of my favorite songs even though the meaning to me have changed over the years. I’m excited to see you guys during the tour!

[@aac_2423]

Ahhh this is awesome! Omg I still remember my first Switchfoot concert that my mom took my twin and I to. That was my first rock concert ever. I had never listened to the genre before because all I grew up around was Spanish and Christian music for the most part. You guys have given me a deep love and appreciation for rock and so many other genres. This album has been my favorite since that concert 🥰❤

[@amypyles749]

A song people need to hear. Thanks for bringing it back. ❤

[@Jackiedu62]

Your music helped me to go through my teenager years, and through a lot of personal issues. You guys are legends and will be forever thankful for everything you have done for me over the years.

[@WesTheWizard]

Hey guys - I just finished listening to the whole album and... Wow! What an incredible gift to your fans! Thank you so much. It means a lot to me. But I do have one request... Can you please do an updated version of Monday Comes Around? It was on the Deluxe version of the original album and for me it doesn't feel complete without it! I adore the song and my imagination goes wild thinking about where you would go with an update. Please, just think about it. 🙏 I'm planning to be at the LA show in November. Maybe include it in the encore? 😅 ✌️+❤
