Too much too soon?

By Jeremy | March 1, 2005

Former Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch quit the multi-plantinum metal band last week, 2 months after receiving Christ into his life, due to conflicts over their videos and lyrics. This weekend, he shared his testimony at a southern California church to an estimated 10,000 church goers. MTV has been all over this story for the last week and it's generating buzz throughout cyberspace. It's always thrilling when someone comes to Christ, and the testimonies inspire and challenge us, but I get nervous when Christian leaders parade new converts, especially celebrities, on stage so soon. Talk about racheting up the pressure. It's hard enough for an anonymous everyman to follow Christ in the face of Satan's mad as hell reaction to conversion. The pressure only intensifies in the glare of the public spotlight. Let's pray for Welch, that God protects him and that seasoned Christians safeguard his discipleship with wisdom and care.

   True-that Jeremy,

   We’ve seen this stuff before, especially with celebrities. I would love for us to lean on the biblical model of folks that went through a preparation process before entering ministry. Even the Apostle Paul remained low-key for 3 years before he totally immersed himself in preaching the gospel.

   Jose
