Caught this video today via JordonCooper.
I'd encourage you to click the video and go check out the "more info" section on the video's YouTube page. The guy who created this video has a pretty interesting story and a bold take on the worship-music-subculture.
I'd love to know what you think?
Is this video just humor?
Is it spot-on?
Is it too far?

See the rise and fall of Kevin Prosch for a real-life, poignant and sad illustration of the song.
I watched a couple of minutes before I got bored. He's very perceptive about the cliches surrounding the whole "scene" (and it's not helping matters that there IS a "scene" in the first place--that's really weird if you think about it).
I think he's off when he portrays his "character" as failing in the rock scene and jumping over to worship. Many musicians come from that world (like me) but either haven't left it behind or were not Christians when they were in it.
The real cliche is that most of the worship stars (another weird thing to exist) and all the aspiring wannabes come from the youth group subculture. Worship bands in their world are the garage bands of the rock world. Christian kids jam in the youth room with stars in their eyes dreaming of playing at Passion and having hot Christian girls (the ones they watch singing most breathily in "worship videos" --yet another baffling oddity) like them.
I think he's right on in making fun of the things for which we should be made fun of, if not rebuked for. But there needs to be a little charity in that many guys just get saved and bring what they know, and we haven't even BEGUN to do the hard work necessary to offer a true and more Biblical alternative.
i generally agree with Johnny on the stuff that he didn't like, but other than that, i thought it was almost painfully dead-on. A few times i thought, "wow, he just said that." nice. the sad thing is that the people who could really learn from this will just write it off as mean, jealous, or both.
that is hilarious, but about 3 minutes to long
