Is Christian Music Really Christian Music? Consider The Vessels Used

Christian Music Under Biblical Scrutiny: Artists, Labels, and the Test of Scripture

Summary

Testing Christian Music by Scripture
The episode centers on the host's argument that music marketed as Christian should be evaluated by biblical doctrine, personal conduct, and evidence of repentance rather than by celebrity status, popularity, or record-label branding. He connects the discussion to the prior day's program, using biblical accounts such as Nadab and Abihu's "strange fire" and the golden calf in Exodus as examples of worship he considers corrupted by human preference. He repeatedly urges listeners to distinguish between what he describes as holy and profane and to use Scripture as the standard. The host also draws on his own experience touring in rock music and later performing in a Christian band. From that experience, he claims that many performers used the Christian music market as a stepping stone toward secular success. His central theme is that a Christian label or profession does not, by itself, demonstrate Christian conversion.

Celebrity Conversions and the Question of Fruit
Early in the episode, the host discusses celebrity figures who have publicly associated themselves with Christianity, including Kanye West, Bono, Brian "Head" Welch, Alice Cooper, and Bob Dylan. He criticizes what he sees as pride, inconsistency, or a return to former lifestyles, and contrasts those examples with biblical passages about humility, repentance, and becoming a new creature. The host argues that listeners should "prove" or test those who present themselves as Christians rather than treating famous entertainers as spiritual authorities. He repeatedly characterizes the modern gospel as producing shallow or "mushroom" converts when it emphasizes comforting messages without repentance. His remarks are framed as his own theological judgments and interpretations of Scripture. The episode's broader warning is that admiration for a performer can become a form of idolatry when celebrity takes precedence over biblical standards.

The Christian Music Industry and Michael Tait
A major portion of the program focuses on Michael Tait and the Newsboys. The host discusses allegations of sexual misconduct, grooming, cocaine use, and other behavior attributed to Tait, and he argues that people within bands, management, and record labels would have been aware of serious problems. He presents this as an example of what he believes is a deeper failure within the Christian music industry, where performers can be promoted as models of faith while their private conduct contradicts the message being sold to audiences. The host also argues that many Christian bands imitate secular artists musically and culturally, which he regards as using worldly methods to reach people for Christ. He contrasts that approach with a gospel message centered on repentance, suffering, Christ's crucifixion, and demonstrated love. These are claims and conclusions made by the host in the episode, not independent findings established by the transcript.

Conversion, Conduct, and Other Christian Artists
The host later returns to Brian "Head" Welch and then names other artists, including Jennifer Knapp, Vicky Beeching, Marsha Stevens, Ray Boltz, and a person transcribed as Dan Hazelton. He uses their public identities, relationships, or statements as examples in his argument that Christian profession must be tested by conduct and doctrine. The host's language is strongly condemnatory, especially when discussing homosexuality, and he repeatedly cites biblical passages that he believes establish moral boundaries. He also criticizes Christian audiences for accepting artists without knowing Scripture for themselves. Throughout this segment, his emphasis remains that believers should evaluate teaching and behavior against the Bible rather than follow performers because of emotional music, popularity, or reputation. The transcript preserves these controversial views as statements made by the speaker rather than presenting them as neutral facts.

Lauren Daigle, Biblical Knowledge, and Moral Questions
In the final host segment, the discussion turns to Lauren Daigle and a past interview in which, according to the host, she did not give a definitive biblical answer when asked whether homosexuality is a sin. He treats that response as evidence that a prominent Christian singer should know Scripture more thoroughly before representing Christian teaching publicly. The host then expands the point into a broader criticism of Christians who cannot identify basic commandments or define sin in the way he believes Scripture defines it. He cites passages from Ezekiel, John, 1 John, Matthew, Romans, Leviticus, and other books while contrasting biblical law with what he describes as modern religious and cultural compromise. He compares the pattern to voters repeatedly trusting politicians who fail to uphold their promises or governing principles. The segment closes with his insistence that music and entertainment shape people's thinking and therefore deserve serious spiritual scrutiny.

Promotions, Ministry Appeals, and the Continuing Series
Between the main discussion segments, the recording contains several recurring promotional and ministry announcements, all of which are preserved in the corrected transcript. These include Sons of Liberty donation requests, invitations to a Sunday church broadcast, Minnesota State Fair information, Wisconsin Christian News, a Christian Media Conference promotion, an event-booking announcement, a Liberty Sentinel promo voiced by Alex Newman, and a BBS Radio network identification. Testimonial segments from Tom Raimund and Lisa Mead praise the ministry and its biblical teaching, while historical quotation segments connect faith, liberty, and American government. The host also repeatedly gives the call-in number and website addresses and attempts unsuccessfully to connect a caller named Margie. Near the end, he says the discussion will continue into the next program and will eventually move from Christian music into secular music. He closes by saying that his purpose is to give listeners what he believes is the truth and to warn them about the spiritual influence of the music they consume.

Speaker Identification

Speaker 1 - Host (Bradley Dean): Identified by the on-air introduction, in which the speaker welcomes listeners and names himself as Bradley Dean. The same voice carries the principal commentary throughout the episode.

Speaker 2 - Announcer / Prerecorded Promo Voice: Used for station identifications, organizational disclaimers, promotional spots, historical quotation segments, event promotions, donation requests, and other prerecorded material where no individual speaker is clearly identified.

Speaker 3 - Tom Raimund: A testimonial speaker who identifies himself by name in the recording. The exact spelling of the surname and the stated location require verification because the raw transcript contains conflicting or unclear wording.

Speaker 4 - Alex Newman: Identifies himself by name in the Liberty Sentinel promotional segment.

Speaker 5 - Lisa Mead: Identifies herself by name in a prerecorded testimonial. The exact spelling of her Tennessee locality requires verification.

No caller is heard speaking in the supplied transcript. The host attempts to connect a caller named Margie, but the call does not successfully come through in the transcription.


Speaker 1 - Host (Bradley Dean): [The supplied transcript begins mid-sentence.] ...attempt to protect the gods that they have, in fact, created in their minds, such as their favorite musicians, actors, someone, and so forth, by suggesting that I am not to judge. I would remind you that I am using the Judge's Word to make judgments. I am judging with righteous judgment, and that out of love.

Furthermore, I'd like to add that if you are not zealous against error yourself, it's because you're probably not zealous for the truth, whereas I am.

Now, yesterday I took the time to highlight on my radio show the likes of many celebrities who have been elevated to modern-day Christian stardom, such as Kanye West, who was trotted out on the heretical Joel Osteen's platform recently for his supposed conversion. And you thought the political scene was filled with theater. Friends, the Lord warned us of both.

This novice, unacquainted or unskilled in the Word of God, Kanye West, stated that he was the greatest artist that God ever created: "Because now - and I told you about my arrogance and cockiness already - now the greatest artist that God has ever created is now working for Him."

Folks, is this guy kidding me? I didn't know that it was about Kanye West anymore. Kanye was praising himself. Furthermore, does someone want to give this guy a reality check on what talent truly is?

Speaker 2 - Prerecorded Audio Excerpt: [Censored/garbled lyric excerpt. The exact wording cannot be recovered from the supplied transcript.]

Speaker 1 - Host (Bradley Dean): Then again, the bar has been lowered so far that we can understand why he is deceived into believing that he is what he wants to believe that he is.

It tells us in 1 Timothy 3:6-7, "Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover, he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil."

Friends, you ought to prove those who call themselves Christians. Again, it tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:12, "And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you."

Now, case in point, established churches up until the 1900s used to prove their members for one to three years before accepting them for their professions. Now, friends, Kanye wants to evangelize America's youth with his music. That's a good initiative, but he first needs to make sure that he is a partaker of the fruit that the Lord gives in understanding in all things. Time will show whether he is genuine or not.

The reason I bring up this point is to show you that others have claimed conversions, such as Bono from U2, Brian "Head" Welch from Korn, Alice Cooper, Bob Dylan, and so on and so forth. Friends, they go back to the vomit that they claimed they were converted from. How does that work? It doesn't.

For example, Brian "Head" Welch from Korn claims his conversion, but rejoins the band and lifestyle that he claimed to be converted from. Let me tell you how that works, friends: by feeding upon the hirelings of the day and refusing to do your own due diligence in searching the Scriptures for yourselves. According to Brian's world, you are to yield yourself back to the spirit of the world - Antichrist - in order to influence people for the Lord. Now, friends, I can't find that in the Word.

The same thing goes for the likes of Alice Cooper. He said that he got saved because he was afraid that he would go to hell. Again, I can't find that in Scripture, but I can find where we are to fear the Lord, be converted from our sins, and put our trust in Jesus Christ through godly repentance, which is a work of the Holy Ghost.

His stage antics during his live tours - Alice Cooper, of course - include being beheaded by a sexy nurse using a guillotine, using baby dolls and then impaling them with a shiny sword, and spiders draped over his eyelids while he is in a straitjacket with blood running down. Come on, friends.

What happened to, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new"? The good thing is that Alice said that he could never turn back on his fans. Now, if that were true, then why isn't he preaching repentance? A faithful witness delivers souls, friends.

I would remind my listeners that Jesus Christ is the standard here, and not your favorite celebrities. This all comes back to the mushroom converts that the modern gospel has produced. The message is, "Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand," not, "God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life." Here we go.

Speaker 2 - Announcer / Prerecorded Promo Voice: "With one heart and voice, we may prostrate ourselves at the throne of heavenly grace and present to our great Benefactor sincere and unfeigned thanks for His infinite goodness and mercy towards us, from our birth to the present moment; for having, above all things, illuminated us by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, presenting to our view the happy prospect of a blessed immortality; and for our unparalleled ingratitude to the adorable Being who has seated us in a land irradiated by the cheering beams of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Let us fall prostrate before offended Deity, confess sincerely and penitently our manifold sins and our unworthiness of the least of His divine favors, fervently implore His pardon through the merits of our Mediator, Jesus Christ."

[The closing attribution is garbled in the raw transcript; it appears to reference Elbridge Gerry and the Declaration of Independence.]

Speaker 2 - Announcer / Prerecorded Promo Voice: The Sons of Liberty is a politically neutral organization. We believe that the Christian ethic has provided the principles on which this nation was founded. It is our belief that these principles provide not only the foundation and framework for American government, but are also essential to the maintenance of a fair and just society. All program content is based on a Christian biblical worldview.

Speaker 1 - Host (Bradley Dean): One of you said to me recently - or you said we shouldn't rock the boat. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I want to tell you that I am a boat rocker.

Hello, friends, as well as a few enemies, scoffers, atheists, skeptics, lunatics, weirdos, and assorted bad guys, and, of course, all of you good guys and girls out there. Welcome to the Sons of Liberty. You have yours truly, Mr. Bradley Dean.

We kind of teed things up yesterday concerning what it is that we're going to be talking about today concerning Christian music. Is it really Christian music? Yesterday, we were talking in part about making a distinction between that which is holy and that which is defiled, or profane. That means showing disregard for the things of God.

We were highlighting Nadab and Abihu and setting up strange fire to God, which He commanded them not to do. He reminded them, after He struck them dead, that the sons of God must be holy. Scripture is very clear about this: without holiness no man shall see the Lord. Well, they did it anyway. They wanted to go ahead and try it their way, and what did they do? They reaped what they sowed very quickly. That was called strange fire. Folks, there's a lot of strange fire going on out there.

Then we talked about Exodus 32 and the sounds of war. When Moses was coming down from receiving the Ten Commandments, the moral law of God, and the statutes and judgments, what did Joshua notice? He noticed that the people departed from Moses almost instantaneously because Moses went up in obedience to the Lord to receive what it was that the Lord meant for the good of the people.

What did the people do? They said, "We don't know what's become of this Moses," and they created a golden calf through Aaron, by the way. America is filled with these. People don't like Moses; they love Aaron. That's why you see these people church-hop. They go from ministry to ministry to ministry to ministry. They love the ministry until they find fault with it.

Usually, the fault they find with that ministry - the thing they don't like anymore concerning Moses - is the very thing they should be taking heed to. It's the very thing they're warring against when it comes to Scripture. But again, Scripture tells us in the book of Peter that they were appointed unto disobedience concerning that stumbling block because they won't take heed. They won't pay attention. They won't do their own due diligence. They're stuck on their own pride and self-righteousness.

You know, when people say to me, when I'm making reference to Scripture continuously, "Bradley, you just seem self-righteous when you say that you're right and everybody else is wrong." Well, I am right and they are wrong. Why? Because I'm not seeking my own righteousness. That's why I'm making reference to the righteousness that only the Word of God can establish.

The self-righteous are those who don't take the time to know Scripture or use Scripture. The people who usually come back and say, "Oh, you're very self-righteous," or, "You're cocky," or, "You're arrogant," or, "You're prideful" - wait a second. I'm not the one standing up against the Word of God. I'm making reference to the Word of God that exposes you for who you are.

A better way to say it is: is there any argument against the Bible? The only one that we find against the Bible is an unholy lifestyle. These are the people that I'm addressing even now.

But going back to the sound of war in the camp, isn't it interesting? Joshua thought it was the sound of war. What, in fact, was it? Aaron, because he was people-pleasing, created the golden calf that they wanted from their earrings and their goods, concerning their jewelry. Aaron makes them a golden calf, and what do they do? They play music, and then they worship the golden image. America is filled with this.

So, when we come to the topic of Christian music, I've seen this for years. Folks, I came out of the rock-and-roll lifestyle, from touring the country, only to be put into a situation inside of a Christian band, and to observe what it is that I'm going to share with you today.

I'll tell you what: when we first came onto the scene, we were voted second best to P.O.D. after our first show, after P.O.D. had been touring for up to two years. That's how good that band was. I'm saying that to highlight the players who were in the band - the guitar player, the singer, and so on and so forth.

We came out of the gate and started playing with national Christian acts right away, only to observe firsthand - and I believe that's why the Lord put me there - that many of these people who professed to be Christians were not Christians at all. In fact, they were using the music industry within the Christian realm, as they call it, as a stepping stone to get to a secular label.

See, they wanted to cross over, but they didn't want to bring the cross. If they didn't want to bring the cross, it only shows you that they were never converted in the first place, because there was no fruit of repentance, which is found in 2 Corinthians 7:10-11.

So this is what I'm going to highlight today. I want to take the time so people might understand what Bradley is telling you from experience, from testimony - Revelation 19:10 - that, easily, hands down, a majority of what you have been led to believe is Christian music is not coming from Christians in any sense of the word.

I'll highlight many of these musicians throughout, and then, in the latter part of the week, friends, we're also going to cover secular musicians, because many of you who call yourselves Christians are the ones listening to secular music. You're hypocrites, okay? We drew the line yesterday on this topic, and I'm not going to go over it again. Go ahead and download the podcast.

But you do need to understand that if you're listening to secular music, understand the word secular means without God. So why would you fill your head, your mind, and your heart with what the Lord told you not to fill up on? Concerning Himself, you're to seek Him with your whole heart, mind, soul, and strength - not the other way around concerning your idols.

We're going to get to that as well in the latter part of the week, but let's cover this Christian scene just to show you what I've observed for the last 30 years in ministry and in the music business, only to find out that, more often than not, those who claim to be something they are not are clearly not, when it comes to Christian music.

Speaker 2 - Announcer / Prerecorded Promo Voice: Don't have a place to go to church on Sunday? Then come join us at the Sons of Liberty and Bradley Dean. For many people, finding a home church that preaches the Gospel in accordance with Scripture can be difficult. Many churches today have become self-help centers and very humanistic, without pointing their finger to Christ and the cross that all genuine Christians must bear, just as our Lord did.

If you are looking for a church that preaches the truth without compromise from the inerrant Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, then look no further than joining us every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. Central Time on the Sons of Liberty Radio, live on Rumble.

Speaker 3 - Tom Raimund: Hi, my name is Tom Raimund, of Tennessee, retired Marine, trooper, and postal worker. My life has always been centered around service to God, family, and country. I've known Bradley Dean and his family for many years, fully supporting his work with teens, especially radio podcasts, to include Sunday church, and the SonsOfLiberty.com website chronicling Christian and geopolitical news. I hold Bradley up in prayer and financially support his mission.

Speaker 1 - Host (Bradley Dean): And we appreciate that, my friend Tom from Boston, Massachusetts. SonsOfLibertyRadio.com. SonsOfLibertyMedia.com.

Speaker 1 - Host (Bradley Dean): You want to jump in? Give us a call. I'd love to hear from you. I'm going to dump a lot of information on you. That number is 281-845-4704. Again, that number is 281-845-4704.

Folks, if this is the first time listening to SonsOfLibertyRadio.com, do remember that this is the radio show where we think for ourselves and make not others the measure of our conduct. Why is that, friends? Because it is a terrible place to be when your brains are in someone else's head.

Now, before we start this today, I just want you to remember: if you didn't hear yesterday's show, I teed it up for today, okay? This is the continuation of this discourse, which we're going to highlight right now.

The reason I'm saying that is because, throughout Scripture, over and over, throughout the Old and New Testaments, you're going to continuously see the Lord raise up prophets and apostles, and He's going to raise up people within the body of Christ to expose false prophets and false teachers over and over and over again.

Now, for the biblically illiterate, they think this is judging people. No, it's making reference to the law, and it's really exposing them and their hypotheses concerning their profession up to the standard of who Jesus Christ is in fulfilling that law - Acts 17:31. Merely, what the law does is expose their hypotheses for who they really are.

If you look at Jesus through Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, that's exactly what He is doing. They tell you what to do, how to live your life, but they themselves don't even practice what they preach. Really, what it comes down to more than anything, friends, is they're just false converts.

Those who love the truth understand what it takes to get the truth out there, and that truth demands a response. We also have to understand that a faithful witness delivers souls. So when you see somebody being wronged by a false prophet or a false teacher and you say nothing about it, hey, folks, I've got a question: where's the love in all that?

I want to say this: if you're not zealous against error, it's because you're not zealous for the truth. It's just as scripturally sound as it gets in making that statement.

Okay, so we're going to move on now, and I want to highlight this guy. This guy's name is Michael Tait. Michael Tait is accused of sexual assault, grooming young fans - boys - and substance abuse over the last 16 years.

Now, can anybody tell me: is there a bigger Christian band that's been promoted by the Christian labels more so than the Newsboys? No, absolutely not. Is anybody out there going to tell me - because I know how this works, the inner workings of being in a band - that everybody knows everybody, and everybody pretty much knows what everybody else is doing? It's a small community within a band.

Okay, is someone out there going to tell me that nobody knew, from the top down concerning the record labels, label management, and those within the band, that Michael Tait was not a sodomite? Because he comes out on June 10th of 2025. Not only is he accused of grooming young boys on the road, the lead singer for Newsboys, but he's been using cocaine on the road for 16 years. His band was also being highlighted for fornicating and partying, and yet the Christian labels are selling the Newsboys as the band to see.

Oh, don't forget about the ecumenical preacher named Billy Graham, because he promoted them as well. Now again, just taking a step back, is somebody going to tell me that nobody knew who Michael was and what this band was doing on the road, playing the hypocrite in front of the young people who were led to believe that this was actually a Christian band? Absolutely they knew.

I would go even a step further from my experience of seeing bands: a majority of them are not Christians at all. A majority of them, what they do, friends, is pattern their music after secular bands. There's a band that sounds just like Def Leppard; there's a band that sounded just like AC/DC. Folks, they copy the world, and then they expect to lead people to Jesus Christ. That is completely backwards. That's using the devil and his tools to win people to Jesus Christ. Satan doesn't want you going to Christ, friends.

So what sort of minions are put in place to ensure this doesn't happen? Well, people like Michael Tait, like the Newsboys. Again, going back to firsthand experience, many of the bands that I played with, friends, the only thing they cared about was the stepping stone to get to a secular label. Many of them were not even Christians whatsoever.

Even among the stronger ones that I actually saw with my own eyes - and I could name them in the bands, and you'd know who they are - I can tell you firsthand, friends, that it was the modern gospel. It was unscriptural. The message wasn't, "Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand," as it says in the Bible. Their message was modified by the likes of the ecumenical preacher: "God loves you and has a wonderful plan."

Now, God loves you, but it was through a demonstration of Jesus Christ dying for the sins of the world as the propitiation on the cross over 2,000 years ago. It was a demonstration of love, friends, not merely a profession, but a demonstration.

I also want you to keep in mind it wasn't just Jesus dying on the cross. It was actually Him going out and reaching to the people who were lost. That's another facet of the modern-day gospel that we don't see whatsoever. But as I said, the modern gospel has been modified to say, "God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life."

Well, we already went through "God loves you." You're not going to find that in the Bible as far as the profession goes. That's why I always end the show with 1 John 3:18, that we're not to love in word or tongue, but we're to love in deed and in truth. In other words, deeds, not words. Love is a demonstration, friends. It's not a profession for one another.

Okay, now also think about this. The second part of the modern gospel is this: "and has a wonderful plan for your life." Put that in the light of Scripture, friends: through many trials and tribulations do we enter into the kingdom of heaven. That's the wonderful plan. Jesus said straight and narrow - that was Acts 14:22. If you go over to Matthew, you start in verse 13 and go down to the end of the chapter. Jesus said straight and narrow and difficult is the way, and He said there be few that find it. There be few that find it.

Also consider that 11 of the 12 apostles were martyred. This is the modified version of the message that's given to people in the world today. They want the truth, friends, and it's our job as Christians to preach Christ and Christ crucified. Period.

Okay, and the bottom line is that's not what you're getting, in any sense of the word, from modern-day Christians. It's an absolute joke, and they're preaching a false doctrine.

Furthermore, if you take the time to go to 2 Corinthians 11 and 12, read the chapters. Look what Paul went through. Isn't it interesting - the very first thing, now that I'm thinking about it by the Holy Ghost - isn't it interesting that the first thing that Jesus told Paul on the road to Damascus in Acts 9, when he was converted on the spot, against his free will? Not.

It's interesting that during that particular time, the first thing that the Lord told those to pray for him was, "Show him how many things he must suffer for My name's sake." Guess what? That applies to Christians across the board.

If you remember right, when Jesus was resurrected after the Passion of the Christ, where He died for the sins of the world on the cross, and He was resurrected, remember when He showed Himself to His apostles? The first thing that He did was what? He showed them the holes in His hands, and He showed them the holes in His feet, and He said, "As the Father has sent Me, so send I you."

That's a far cry from, "The Lord has a wonderful plan for your life," isn't it? Yeah, it's a hard road. It's the hard road. It's the straight and the narrow road. As a matter of fact, Jesus even goes on and says that there are many who are going to seek to enter in and will not be able to.

That is the reason that He tells us in Matthew 11:12, for those who are truly born of the Spirit of God, they will press into the kingdom of God. They will also understand what the Lord means when He says, "The violent take it by force." That means they break in. They have to get ahold of the Lord in prayer for answers, just in a process of importunity, like in Luke 18 concerning the woman. That's a different topic, but it applies here.

Let's keep it scriptural, and then we'll understand why we're seeing guys like Michael Tait, why he's being accused of sexual assault, why he's making a profession of his sodomy. Isn't it interesting that he was a sodomite? Why was he appointed as a sodomite? Because they knew exactly what they were doing when they put him there, friends.

What was he doing on the road - Michael Tait from Newsboys? He was making prey of young boys. That is, when he wasn't snorting cocaine and the other band members weren't fornicating. Anybody jacked about that? You talk about being angry about what these false professors are actually trying to relay. What are they doing? They're making enemies of Christ. They're creating war against God. They speak evil of the way of truth, and they wrest the Scriptures to their own destruction.

It's a dangerous game, friends, but I want to tell you something: it's very prevalent in the Christian scene today. I'm also going to highlight the fact that the Bible tells us clearly, over 30 times, how the Lord condemns sodomy - that's homosexuality. Again, every state of our union condemns sodomy; it's felonious activity. But here we have these appointed hirelings in these false pulpits telling people it's okay to advocate for what God condemns. No. We're going to get to that in a moment.

Speaker 2 - Announcer / Prerecorded Promo Voice: George Washington said, "If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter."

Benjamin Franklin follows suit when he said, "Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government. When this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins. Republics derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates." He continues on and says, "Freedom of speech is the great bulwark of liberty; they prosper and die together. And it is the terror of traitors and oppressors, and a barrier against them."

"I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth - that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writings, that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel." - Benjamin Franklin.

Speaker 1 - Host (Bradley Dean): Welcome back again to the Sons of Liberty. I know I'm dumping a lot of information. If you feel led to call, go ahead. That number is 281-845-4704. 281-845-4704.

I would just show everybody we've got brand-new T-shirts for the Minnesota State Fair on SonsOfLibertyMedia.com. It's called "Bought With a Price," and it goes back to the Scripture, 1 Corinthians 6:20. I think if the church in America really understood that we've been bought with the blood of Jesus Christ, we would respond differently toward the things of God in gratitude, and we'd walk in that holiness, because the mother of holiness is gratitude, right? Those who have been forgiven much, they love much.

So anyway, I want to get back to this, because I'm talking about Michael Tait from Newsboys. Newsboys has been sold to the world as the model of Christian behavior, only to find out that Michael Tait is a self-proclaimed sodomite, which God condemns. Interestingly enough, he was out there for 16 years using cocaine and partying. The band was fornicating, and the whole time this sodomite named Michael Tait in Newsboys was grooming young boys, his young fans.

Then he comes out and gives a profession about how he is a sodomite, which obviously goes hand in glove concerning the crimes that he's been accused of. Again, friends, this is what the Christian scene has been selling you, and it's not Christianity; it's a lack of Christianity.

How do I know that? Because I read the whole of the Word. It tells us, "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly." In other words, I take the time to know the doctrines that Jesus told me to know, and when I read what He tells me and that engrafted Word is imparted into my spirit, I hold to it and understand what He loves and what He hates. Read Psalm 97:10 and also Psalm 1 when you get a moment.

But look at Jeremiah 23:22 and listen carefully, because the Lord said, "But if they had stood in My counsel, they would have proclaimed My words to My people and would have turned them from their evil ways and from their evil deeds."

So whose words are these, friends? These are the words of men who are giving a pass to what the Lord condemns.

Oh, and by the way, it doesn't end there. Also keep in mind what I have in front of everybody right now on social media platforms at SonsOfLibertyMedia.com and BeforeItsNews.com. It's this hypocrite, Korn's Brian "Head" Welch. He comes out, makes his profession, and leaves the band Korn. We'll talk about this guy more later on in the week.

But interestingly enough, it's one of the most demonic bands out there, friends. The lead singer slithers around on the stage like a snake. He says he's been converted from partaking with that lifestyle anymore. Well, a couple of years later, guess what he does? He rejoins the band that he said he was converted from. I mean, the band that contributed to the lifestyle that he said he repented of before God. He returns to it just a couple of years later, but he still wants you to believe that he's still a Christian.

Don't give me that nonsense, friends. Don't give me any of your hypotheses. You're not going to have one foot in and one foot out and be okay. Jesus speaks about this continuously. Yesterday I had drawn the line right down the center.

Hey, friends, Isaiah 8:20 tells us, "If they speak not according to the law and to the testimony, it is because there is no light in them." There's no light in these men. Yet somehow or another, the Christian labels are selling men like this to the people as if they're converted sinners, when in fact there's no light in them.

So if they're blind and they want to lead the blind, where are the blind going to lead the blind? Into the ditch - Matthew 15:14 - and that is exactly where everything is going.

Yes, and instead of condemning what God condemns, these guys don't even know the Word. So what they do is expect that a majority of you are not going to know the Word either, and then they're going to sell themselves as the light to the people, when in fact what they're selling you is darkness.

This goes into politics as well. This is the best that you have, Americans? Really? It's the best that you have because you don't take the time to make distinction concerning the best that you have. The best that you have is Christ crucified and Him risen again, my friends, who was delivered up for our offenses but raised again for our justification. If we're raised again for our justification, we're going to preach against this nonsense.

Read Micah 3:5 as well, friends, because these people are put in place to create war against God. Also keep in mind, in 2 Corinthians 11:14-15, Satan sends forth his ministers as what? Angels of light. But the Lord says you judge them by their fruit.

You know, I've got a question for guys like Brian "Head" Welch. How is it that all things old have passed away, behold, all things have become new, but now you're like a dog going back to your vomit or a sow going back to its mire, and yet you want people to believe that you've been converted? You know what? People who read the Bible, they're not that ignorant. But this is exactly what men follow when they don't take the time to know the Word of God.

Now we're finding that Korn's Brian "Head" Welch is calling for Christian fans to be more welcoming of the LGBTQ community. Boy, there's this recurring theme with the sodomites. I'm wondering if maybe this explains why we're seeing all of these said pastors who are being installed across the country. Maybe that explains why they're all walking around with those tight little skinnies on and the same little effeminate shoes, and preach with women's tone. I'm wondering why they're all wearing the same glasses, why they all have the same haircuts, why they're all preaching heresy, because that's exactly what they're doing.

This falls not too far from the wicked tree that preceded them. I'm talking about the fruit of those who came up before them concerning that generation. Is it getting better, friends? Nope. The Bible says they'll wax worse, they'll wax worse, and they'll wax worse. It doesn't say they're going to get better until we get back to the Lord.

Maybe this also explains why, when we look at the professed Christian scene, we find these individuals who have been there for a long time, and they've sold albums to the people, selling themselves as Christians, only to find out later on that they decide to come out of the closet. Don't tell me again, friends, this is happening by chance. They know exactly what they're doing, and that's why they're installing individuals like this.

Do you guys remember who Jennifer Knapp is? You know that she came out after her fame was spread abroad among those who should have known better. You know, these Christian individuals who sell their albums - it's like they go to Christian audiences, right? It's like going to Mexico and teaching people Spanish. That's what they do. Then they get saved again and again and again and again. They're mushroom converts, like I highlighted yesterday.

But isn't it interesting who they go to? They go to people who call themselves Christians. Can I ask you this, friends? Yes, within the body of Christ there is the apostle, the prophet, the teacher, the evangelist, the pastor - Ephesians 4. For what? For raising up others for the work of the ministry, for the perfecting of the saints. Absolutely.

But what is the objective of the church? We're called and commanded by the Lord to raise up disciples, not spectators. Not spectators. Again, if only the American people would take the time to read.

Oh, Jennifer Knapp - Christian artist, she calls herself. She's the devil in disguise, friends. She came out as a lesbian. What about Dan Hazelton? Sold to the people in the Christian world in America. Folks, it almost gets to the point where I feel like I'm Elijah on top of Mount Carmel, mocking the people for listening to these nonsensical hypocrites.

Dan Hazelton, he comes out, he's a homosexual, been sold to the people within the body of what they call the Christian church - nothing can be further from the truth in America today - but being sold to the people that he is a man of God. No, he's not. He's a man of the devil. He's never repented.

Let's go over to Vicky Beeching. She's another one who was sold to the Christian world as a woman, a modest woman to model your lives after, only to find out, guess what? She came out of the closet. She's a lesbian as well. What about Marsha Stevens? Same thing, another lesbian.

Remember Ray Boltz? "Thank you, Lord, for giving to the Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for giving to the Lord," moving the emotions of the people. Let me warn you of your emotions. The Bible says those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its lusts and its affections. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Then when we walk in the Spirit, we go over to Romans 8. It's interesting that in verse 13, which precedes verse 14 in Romans 8, it says that we're supposed to mortify the deeds of the flesh and that we're supposed to put on the robe of righteousness - the righteousness of Christ that's been given unto us through imputation.

Is that what you're saying here? No. Imputation - what I just got done saying, folks, sounds like a foreign language to a majority of you people out there. That's why you accept these people as Christians.

Ray Boltz comes out as a sodomite, a homosexual. What about the fornication within the professed Christian scene? Sex before marriage. Oh, you know, they use the grace of God as an occasion for the flesh, a license to sin. That's not the grace of God, nor does it define out to be the grace of God. Why? Because Christ is not a minister of sin.

Folks, do you hear throughout the show today the Scriptures that are continuously firing out at you, completely standing in contrast to what it is that you see today? Do you realize that I'm holding the sword of the Spirit up, and I'm holding up the Word of God in your face and saying, "Folks, His Word says the opposite of what you're seeing"?

Do you realize this is what this ministry does day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year? Why? Because we don't see anybody doing their job, except for a few, few and far between, usually found within the corners that have to be sought out. This is not Christianity.

I want to go ahead and take this phone call, and then what I'm going to do is come back and talk about a lady named Lauren Daigle. She's the new superstar Christian who doesn't know the Word any more than the devil does, okay? We're going to come right back.

I'm going to first take our friend Margie. Margie, it's not giving me the option to pull up. I'll pull you up on the other side. I can't pull your call up.

Folks, SonsOfLibertyRadio.com. SonsOfLibertyMedia.com. 281-845-4704. 281-845-4704. Again, we'll be right back.

Speaker 2 - Announcer / Prerecorded Promo Voice: Don't have a place to go to church on Sunday? Then come join us at the Sons of Liberty and Bradley Dean. For many people, finding a home church that preaches the Gospel in accordance with Scripture can be difficult. Many churches today have become self-help centers and very humanistic, without pointing their finger to Christ and the cross that all genuine Christians must bear, just as our Lord did.

If you are looking for a church that preaches the truth without compromise from the inerrant Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, then look no further than joining us every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. Central Time on the Sons of Liberty Radio, live on Rumble.

Speaker 5 - Lisa Mead: My name is Lisa Mead, and I live in Seregate, Tennessee. I've been in church my entire life, and I feel like the church has changed, but God's Word has not changed. The church service that Bradley Dean leads every Sunday morning is a breath of fresh air. He teaches the entire Bible, and his teaching from God's Word magnifies the Lord Jesus Christ.

Each Sunday, my husband and I look forward to the church service because Bradley honors Jesus by speaking truth that all of us need to hear. I don't want to be entertained, but need to hear the truth of God's Word. I'm so grateful and thankful to be part of the church family. Bradley's message, through the Holy Spirit, leads me to my Savior, Jesus Christ, and there's no better place to be. Thank you, Bradley, for answering God's call to lead the church service so that people will hear the truth that is so desperately needed today.

Speaker 1 - Host (Bradley Dean): Welcome back again to the Sons of Liberty. Boy, oh boy, does the time fly, to say the least. I mean, my goodness, we're in the third segment already, right? But I praise God for the gift of grace.

Margie, calling in from Minnesota, didn't give me an option to pull you up, which is probably better because now I can give you more time. But it's all yours, Margie. What say you?

Do we not have Margie? Margie, you're going to have to call back in. It's not letting me pick you up. Okay, I'm going to drop you. Call back. I'll pull you right up.

Folks, I was just talking about Michael Tait from Newsboys, sodomites grooming young people on the road, and also, with that, friends, Brian "Head" Welch. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm going to go to Lauren Daigle in just a moment here. I'm going to see if we can pull up our friend Margie. Margie, you there?

Interesting. Guys at BBS, there's no ability to answer the call. Why that is, I have no idea. It's saying I can hold, but then says answer, and it won't answer. So let's try this again. Sorry about that, Margie. BBS, please pick that up. We'll take it from there.

Let me get back over to this, because I want to get over to Lauren Daigle. Some people I'm noticing online right now are saying, "You know, I just hope that the people I do listen to, they're not Satanists."

Well, I can tell you this right now: you are not going to be in the music industry - I'm telling you from firsthand experience - you are not going to be in the music industry, nor are you going to be in Hollywood, and that includes first and foremost the Christian scene, unless you comply with sacrificing the truth of the matter. That is not speculative. That is a fact.

So those you see who are popular, you can already rest assured they said they wanted what Satan had to offer. That's why you don't see these individuals speaking out against the sins that the Lord commands the church to preach out against. Read Hosea 4:6 when you get a moment. Look at Jesus. Did He pull any punches? Absolutely not.

Read 1 Timothy 5:20 when you get a moment, how you're supposed to rebuke and reprove sin, that others also may fear. Do you see that happen? Absolutely not. Are these popular individuals that we're highlighting right now - and we'll get to the secular scene tomorrow or the next day - are they preaching out against sin? No. They're preaching entertainment.

[The host gives a word-origin explanation of "entertainment" here, but the automated transcription is too garbled to reconstruct the exact phrasing confidently.]

They're hoping to be the next idol that puts themselves in the place of Christ. Hey, folks, Christian music and praise-and-worship music is about praising the Lord. It's not about praising your idol, the one that's singing the song, as they pretend that they're singing about the Lord. Not in every case, but a majority of them are.

So let's go over to Lauren Daigle, okay? She was asked the question about sodomy. She was asked during her real-life interview what her thoughts on sodomites were - homosexuality. She could not scripturally answer the question.

Again, when you look at Ezekiel 44:23, it says, "And they shall teach My people" - My people, not the world, My people - "the difference between the holy and profane." Okay? She was asked the question whether homosexuality was a sin. She replied, she said, "I can't honestly answer that question."

These people are singing Christian music and they don't know the Scriptures, when that's the first thing the Lord told them that they must know. John 7:17. 2 Timothy 2:15.

Oh, this is what the people accept. It's like the politicians: "Oh, I'm going to do this, and I'm going to do this, and I'm going to do that, and I'm going to do that." They've been in office for 30 years and they've never done it before, but the people get behind them and believe their nonsense. Those same politicians have been lying to them for 30 years, don't even know the Constitution, and are not appointed to uphold the Constitution, but the people take them at face value and then re-elect them again.

It's the same thing. It's the same thing. What's the definition of insanity? Doing the same things and getting the same results. I mean, it's just crazy.

She was asked the question whether homosexuality was sin, and she said, "I cannot honestly answer that." I could have asked her the question, and I can answer it, or ask a majority of you today: what is sin?

The first thing they'll say is, "It's missing the mark." It is not missing the mark. That is not what Scripture teaches at all. That's why I continuously reiterate 1 John 3:4, which says sin is the transgression of God's law. It's the breaking of God's law.

How many professors call themselves Christians, and you ask them to rattle off three of the Ten Commandments? Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of hands that I've seen across the country doing events 3,000 times over. "How many are Christians?" Everybody raises their hands. "Tell me three of the Ten Commandments."

And yet you say, "Well, why do you say that, Bradley? The law's been done away with, I've been told." Well, who told you that? Because Jesus didn't. He said He didn't come to destroy the law and the prophets; He came to fulfill them. By faith, Christians establish the law. Go to Matthew 5:17. Go to Romans 3:31.

I can give you example after example where the Lord used the law as a schoolmaster to bring them unto Christ. The law condemns. If I'm a believer, I'm justified. The law attacks; grace conquers. Period.

"He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." You want to know why the world's going awry, friends? "I know Jesus, and I don't even keep His commandments." Jesus said they're liars and the truth is not in them. 1 John 2:4.

Go to verse 6. What does it say? "He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked." Where did Jesus ever violate the moral law? He never did. He fulfilled it.

Remember in John 8:46 when He said to the Pharisees, "Which one of you convinceth Me of sin?" They couldn't. Of course they couldn't. He was perfect. He was the Lamb of God without spot or blemish.

People, my goodness, where are people taking this? Why are you listening to people who don't even know the answer to their profession? I mean, it's the same thing happening in colleges all over the country today. All over. I preach to college professors all across the country, friends - indoctrination to no end - and they laugh about it.

What's that about? The young people are going into debt, and these professors don't even know what they're teaching the kids. This isn't a joke. This is why your country's going to hell in a handbasket. It's going to hell because the Lord said if you forget Him, this is what's going to happen, and it's exactly what's happening.

Lauren goes on, and I'm going to end with this - at least for today. She says, "I can't answer that question" of whether homosexuality is sin. Jesus condemned it over and over and over again. Read 1 Corinthians 6:9, okay?

Then she said, "I don't know." She said, "I do know, in a sense, that I have too many people that I love that are homosexuals." No, no, wait, wait. She's a Christian. She talks about homosexuals that she loves, but she doesn't know. She loves the homosexuals more than she loves God. But she actually hates the homosexuals because she doesn't take the Word of God and give it to the homosexuals that they might have a reason to repent. That's hate. Read Leviticus 19:17.

Hey, folks, the Word of God is in contrast to your carnal mind, and until people start reading and thinking the way the Lord teaches us to think, and empowers us by the Holy Ghost to think, we're going to keep going the wrong direction in this country.

Lauren Daigle has no business whatsoever being on a Christian label. None whatsoever. I revert back to the same ones that own the secular labels own the Christian labels, friends. Any of this premised on witchcraft? You say what you will. Witchcraft is what, defined in the book of Samuel? Rebellion.

Isn't this rebellious toward the Word of God - claiming to be a Christian, but you don't know His Word, and then advocating for what the Lord condemns? Oh, yeah, that's witchcraft. That goes beyond rebellion.

Do you really think, Americans, that you're not going to get a response from the Lord God on high when you dare the justice of God through your ignorance? Oh, my goodness. It's almost like today, it tells us in the book of Amos, "Hey, come on over to Bethel. Come to the church and sin here. It's okay. Just make the profession and Jesus will save you."

Friends, there could be nothing further from the truth, but that's what it's become today, and it's because of what you're feeding on, Americans. It's because of what you're feeding on.

We're going to pick up this topic again tomorrow, and we'll start with Lauren Daigle. Then, before the end of the week, we're going to actually dip into secular music. I'll tell you what: if you want to know why many of you are in the position you're in today, it's because of the music that you listen to, regardless if you want to see it that way or not.

I want to make sure that by the end of this week your blood is off my hands. In other words, if my ministry is going to not hold any offense toward you, what does that mean? That I owe you the truth, and you're going to get the truth before the end of the week.

We love you by what we do, and again, we will talk to you in 23 hours. SonsOfLibertyRadio.com. SonsOfLibertyMedia.com. By the way, if you order any shirts, these brand-new shirts are exclusive for the Minnesota State Fair. Your orders go out first thing in the morning. See ya.
