Christian rock has long been the target of jokes, but the effect it had on evangelical kids in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s is worth serious consideration. We’re looking at personal stories from people who grew up listening to CCM. Expect hilarious moments and heartfelt yearning in equal measure. If you’ve had any experience with Christian music, we hope your own story makes more sense to you after listening. If you’ve never given Christian music any thought beyond a punchline, we hope you’ll gain a deeper understanding of a subculture that’s shaping the world around us now.
