SEASON 2, EPISODE 16 - The Rebirth In Music: Why God is back in the charts

Landscape Thumbnail Episode 16


The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God podcast with Justin Brierley.

Chart-topping bands, musicians and rappers are increasingly singing about God. Why?

In this documentary episode Justin Brierley revisits the religious awakening of music stars such as Bob Dylan, Alice Cooper, Cliff Richard and U2 as veteran music journalist Steve Turner explains how faith influenced their music.

Justin also speaks to TGC editor Brett McCracken about the current religious revival in rock and rap from musicians such as Stormzy, Mumford & Sons, Nick Cave and Coldplay.

But there are pitfalls to being a celebrity music convert. Jon McCray (Whaddo You Meme), KD Ruslan and Nick Brewer share thoughts on the case of Kanye and the conflicted world of rap stars singing about faith.

X-Factor contestant Talia Dean also shares her story of recently leaving the secular music industry after discovering something much bigger... God.
