I remember praying for your salvation when I was like 15, 20 years ago.
Love you Brian
You did it đ he's saved because you prayed for him đ
I remember getting the Calvary Chapel magazine issue with Chuck Smith baptizing Brian. I was very excited as Korn was a huge part of my teens years before Christ in my life.
I prayed not specifically for any particular person, but I did pray for some well known metal artist to get saved and make Christian metal. Then I heard of Heads conversion and knew my prayer was answered!!! Praise Jesus!
And God Bless you
Dudes not a Christian.. do YOU even know what it means to be one? It sure isnât twisting the truth or the Law that Jesus came to bring. He didnât come to bring âreligionâ (religion means to BIND ONES MIND) and this is what the Catholic Church has done since they started when they were slaughtering the early Christians. The actual followers of Christ who actually KNEW Him.. why would they wipe them out and then give the world a book to go by? Did you know the word Vatican comes from âVaticanusâ? Which means âthe worship of the devine serpentâ. They say Lucifer and Jesus are âcloserâ than you think. They praise satan by doing so in other names/tongues. Itâs a false Christianity. They will give Islam authority to make war on the saints. Youâll see. And if they were of Christ our Lord,they wouldnât do anything like that.
Donât believe what you WANT to be true. This guy doesnât worship the same as you. But keep praying. Youâll be rewarded brother. And I love YOU,my friend. In Christ.
From one Christian metal head to another, we love u Brian.
Hey man, I have a question about christianity and metal. One thing I do know, is that most (of course not all) of metal has pretty brutal and some may call it satanic lyrics and meanings behind stuff. How do you ''handle'' that as a christian? Isn't it some kind of a sin to support something that is ''against'' God? As I said before, not all metal is like that, of course.
Cheers.
@@fallen6060 we mostly try to ignore the lyrical content and overall image and just listen to the music.
@@BlaineMelv Pretty cool.
All the best, man!

@@fallen6060 From some resources, first metal took inspiration from church hymns but done it opposing.
I believe there is no doubt your prior âobnoxiousâ display of faith saved multiple people and brought them to God. So good on you man! God Blessâ€
Sorta felt the same after hearing this too proclaiming Jesus isnât really that over zealous but it is a tricky thing I suppose idk đ€·ââïž
@@Gottislaps Any display of faith in Christ nowadays is considered "Obnoxious" by liberals and makes you a "Zealot" in their eyes. They hate the Christian religion with a passion because it dares to stand up to the world and say "no this thing you love doing is bad for you and you family, and Jesus says stop doing it". They HATE that....Brian would have been better received by the liberal media if he had said "I am a devil worshipper and i like molesting kids"....that's how sad our society is and how far these liberal people have fallen.
I'm so glad your still a Christian âïž it took me years of suffering to get back to the Lord. Hold your ground brother. I am Ready đđâïžđđ”âïž
It's not easy I accepted the lord when I was 10 but my life has been a roller coaster of down and sometimes up its not easy at all
â@jamesblack4411 Jesus never said it would be easy.
_I wish he had mentioned the name of Jesus cuz there is another guy who wants to be the Father & God and he is pretty close to musicians._
@@Lion-gu7gn Exactly đŻ
Heres a video that explains what true christianity is all about. czcams.com/video/Pzcr2JaNhgk/video.html
We used to call it "First Love" Christianity when a new Christian is just in your face with everyone. That "mellowing" is not losing your religion -- it's called spiritual maturity. You can help a lot more people as a Christian when you spend more time listening and responding with love instead of trying to shove it in everyone's faces. And all the tales I hear about Sonny and you reflect maturity.
This is a very wise comment, GOD bless you!
Yeah âŠ. Wise⊠except that scripture sez to repent because they left their first love!!!(rev2:2-4)
SoâŠ. Repent!!! Hang on to that first love! Anything else is backsliding and again REPENT!!!
@@dougtibbetts857 â Calling it "First Love" Christianity is in quotes is because it is a slightly sarcastic misapplication of Rev 2 on purpose. New Christians sometimes "witness" from their own judgmental urging versus being a response in love, like a child interrupting instead of a hand reaching out to help. Long-time Christians sometimes get complacent and that's losing first love. (And long-time does not equal "mature".) But you will never hear me disagree that we gotta REPENT. Peace to you.
@@HorologicRannygazoo it can also be compared or even Cliqued like one's first High. Many do get Addicted and Argue over what each says God Said or God Wants, Been there,BeenThere ,BigTime, Love is
thing is, people are too deluded to accept info in a loving matter, you have to force it into their heads
I met you in 2013. I was working at a home depot in Nashville. I had just relapses after more than 4 yrs of sobriety. I got sober right around the time you did. You were genuine and authentic. I appreciated that. 2.5 years clean now
We do fucking recover!!! đ€đ»
Brian is a prophet.
Michael proud of you getting back up. Don't forget the Devil hates you and your salvation to Christ. Been saved for a few decades and believe me, one you dance with the Devil he comes back to get us back. Stay vigilant for the Devil seeks those who he can devour. The bible speaks of our days right now, Jesus says if the days were not shortened even the elect of God would be decieved. I just had a sponsee backslide after one week before her 3rd year. She stopped doing what she knew was right. 6 months later she's ready again. Much love!
congrats over 2 years sober! god bless u
God bless
Becoming over zealous after finding Jesus is what we all go through. My family and friends soon got tired of hearing about Jesus from me in the first couple of years. But as time went by, I cooled down and realised that no matter how much I wanted to make others understand how I felt, they needed the time and space to find their own way in life. Even though I was never a Korn fan, these days I really appreciate your music, vlogs and channel. And I am sure that you are receiving the applause of nail-scarred hands
I can relate. I was an addict. When Jesus got ahold of me I flipped and went hard the other way. I preached open air on college campuses and became self-righteous. What was initially easy to overcome early in my walk became a challenge. I never walked away, I just cooled through massive humbling. Jesus gives us the answers and the tools , but we need to recognize that is âby grace we are saved and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God, not as a result of works, lest any man can boast.â Ephesians 2:8-9. Most of us have no idea of the pressures and temptations Brian faces. The key is submitting and continuing, to focus on Jesus, who is the author and perfecter of our faith. Hebrews 12:2. Brian is an inspiration and needs our prayers to fight on, as do we all. I was saved in 1984, married in 1988 (and I still am) became a lawyer (made some poor choices still) and God still has me. He is faithful even to an f-up like me. Blessings!
oh yeah! sadly, many christians today are tricked, and have been for ages by the doctrines that teach the Good news of the FINISHED work of Christ, THE gospel + something else, and it's complete mockery, and heresy. It is NOT Biblical to say that Christ isn't enough... we are the Righteousness of God by the Cross (2 cor 5:21) it is a One time act of saving Faith, and trust in His blood, His sacrifice for us. Grace alone is how we recieve the Gift of Salvation (Eph 2:8-9, Titus 3:5, Romans 11:6) 2 Tim 2:13 He does not ''deny'' us, even if we were to "leave" by not having faith, because your life IS Christ IN YOU (Galatians 2:20)
I recommend Mattmcmillen ministries to unlearn "religious" lies, he's a good, humble person, who is an ambassador for Christ, who talks clearly about the New Covenant, and teaches Biblically Sound, Contextually correct doctrine of God's Love, Power and Grace! you can read hus free articles from his books on his website: mattmcmillenministries.com/topics/ God Bless!
Great testimony, thanks for sharing
Very cool thanks for sharing đ
Preaching on college campus is good
Being self righteous isnât
When we stand eye to eye with anyone, we should all be hoping for each and everyone of those people, that NONE SHOULD PERISH! Love them the way God does! I remember being as crabby as Jonah was over the idea that Ninevites would be redeemed, especially when it seemed the people I witnessed to seemed unaffected by anything I told them about God. I just hope that I didn't turn them away from Jesus. His light is what has to shine and reflect off of me towards others; without His light, I'm just a pile of fragmented mirror pieces and cold dead glass which would never have had the privilege of reflecting the warmth and love of God upon others! When others see what God can do with a wretch like me, I hope they can fix their eyes solidly on Jesus, where they've always belonged in the first place-- NEVER on me, I'm just the scrappy dust on and coming off of his sandals, like John, unworthy of even removing them to wash His feet. I need to learn to be a better servant each and every day of my life, without complaint! God help me-- I really suck at it!
I can relate to Brian, I did the same, I was over zealous and heavy handed with sharing the gospel, now I am more spirit led and wiser in speaking to people.
Wiser in speaking to people?? Like not talking too MUCH about faith?? Didn't Jesus say whoever denies me and my word, I will deny them at the day of the Lord?
In other words you got humbled.
And itâs much more loving and powerful when you do say something now. More impact
@@Runner8617 When did Napalm say they ever denied Christ? I think you read into their words wrongly, but that's my opinion, be blessed jklfds85.
Smart, you guys are so annoying when you push your fantasies on others.
Im so glad he's still a Christian. God bless him!

Theres no such thing as "still a Christian". If you ever were...you always will be. End of story.
@@theoldblood3804 not always. Its the same as becoming Christian. My dad used to be an atheist, used to laugh at my mom talking about god, one day something changed and now hes more religious than my mom. It worjs the same way but vice versa.
@@theoldblood3804 I'm a perfect example of how someone could be a Christian but then later reject faith as a reliable method to discerning reality. There is definitely such a thing as "still a Christian" and "no longer a Christian." But of course, some people are going to say I was "never a true Christian" as if living a life entirely rooted in my Jesus belief and making sacrifices of time and money for 20+ years all somehow just didn't happen because I'm now an atheist. That is, of course, a lie they choose to believe because my life doesn't quite follow the narrative they want to be real. I think maybe those people are afraid to be honest. Hopefully you aren't one of those people.
Stay strong brother! God had definitely worked through you and your testimony.
I dont think people should have told you to tone down. Your heart is amazing my friend. God bless you brother!
Stay strong Head; your story is an inspiration to all. I've seen so many Christians both high-profile and regular, who come from outside of "church culture" get disillusioned and fed-up with the faith because no matter what they say and do they can never win. They are either criticised for not being Christian-enough or being too Bible-thumping. You're walk with Jesus is your walk, it doesn't have to exactly fit some sort of holy template. He knows your true heart. I'm praying for you brother.
Very well said sir. Greetings from Dothan, Al.
That's how it should be.
Well it says in scripture that Christians are âought to be obedient to Godâ and if you are a Christian then you should know that the Bible is the final authority of God, Christ said if youâre not willing to die why come in the first place? Why come to pretend? Do you use the title âChristianâ which means âfollow of Christâ and Christ being God in the flesh, which means obedient to God, as some overall social reputation points of saying âIâm such a good person, Iâm Christian look at meâ. Because I can confidently say majority of people that verbal says âIâm a Christianâ is not saved, not generated into a new individual. Now am I judging anyone? No, how exactly can I judge something if itâs already awaiting a death sentence it was deemed at its birth. The overall degrading of the gospel by American culture made void of what the gospel actually means and with American people of course many of them are very prideful and boast in their ignorance that they claim to be wisdom. Who says a man will change another heart of a man when itâs God predestined will to do so when it was âplannedâ before the foundations of the world. That itâs overall Godâs authority to destroy nations and preserve them, Godâs will to grant salvation to an individual as well as it is Godâs will to take the life He granted to an individual. Itâs not some âhey man Jesus loves you and He wants to be your best bro, He wants the best for you my manâ because if weâre ministering the gospel like that to anyone, I would really question if you are saved or not.
We all kind of had â zeal without knowledgeâ when first saved, when donât have to lose our joy, but study to be able to give a reason for the Hope that is in us. A â three minute Gospel presentationâ helped so much.
Not what âthatâ means
I am so glad I seen this. I am 54 now and spent that overwhelming majority of time as a heavy drinker. I almost died in a car accident and had a personal experience with the Lord that night. I made a complete 180 on the spot and made a promise to the Lord to never drink another drop. I was drinking to the extreme as Brian taking drugs to the extreme, and the only way to fill that void is to go all in the other way to the extreme, if there is even such a thing with the Lord. Just look at the man now, he looks peaceful, comfortable, and confident. Yeah, the Lord did that and there is no need for words when the light just shines from you. Thanks for all you will never know about how you helped me Brian, just know that you did.
I was really happy when I heard you got saved. I love Korn. You guys are my favorite band from the late 90's. I had a lot of the same issues you guys did back in those days. I would be up for weeks selling shards and listening to Korn. But, like you, somehow God saw me and felt I was worth saving. For me, the hardest part is accepting His forgiveness. It's like, "There's no way I'm good enough for Jesus." Anyway, I ramble. Glad you're doing well. Stay strong, brother.
Pretty much 99% of people in the world are worth saving, because like you, they are all very special and unique. Sadly, a good portion of them just don't know it because they are stuck in some shithole country that is simply exploiting them like Iran or Russia maybe? North Korea sucks big time too. Gotta feel for all the regular "folk" in those places, and one of the main reasons Jesus did what He did. I just hope those people do get another chance at life at some certain future time. I mean, this life can be wonderful and great. Unless you happen to live in N. Korea, right? Those people should get a "Do-over". LOL. Take care, and Crank That Shit UP! Korn Rocks - great band, and great group of guys. Peace friend. (did you know people are executed at half time for entertainment during soccer matches in North Korea for listening to "western music"? honest that shit happens)
That voice telling you that you're not good enough for Jesus to love is the enemy. Satan always tries using condemnation to make us feel that way, but Jesus loves everyone......No sin is too big for Him. Just takes full & sincere surrender to Him.
â@@kentvaughn6685Amen!
I need you, Jesus .
Saved? Or you mean when his mental illness started
Never mellow. Dont give up. Your faith and zeal are a breath of fresh air and inspiration to other Christians.
it actually is not.
Overzealousness can often lead one into overstated foolishness. I remember being so overjoyed, but headfull with knowledge that I would often speak over (correct) other more mature Christians who were attempting to "counsel" or witness themselves to others. I ended up coming across as a snob to those dear brothers and sisters just because I thought I had to correct them to make sure they were telling the Scriptures accurately and not in some way which didn't literally represent Scriptures. I had to repent from such and be cautious about not causing others to stumble in their frustrations with me for being such a loud mouth interruption! Man, oh, man, the things we all would change if God gave us the chance at a do-over in many situations. Thank God, that He has even given us a chance at repentance and redemption. I'd be an even worse wretch than I already am without that privileged gift God has bestowed upon us through His Son's sacrifice-- so much of my foolish sin my Savior had to bear on my behalf! Jesus, please, don't let my love grow cold for you; lead me as I learn to be a better fisher of men, starting with my own family and loved ones who will listen to Your Word and follow it! Refine me and don't stop!!!! Amen
Let Me deal with this, step back@@algallego
Thanks for sharing this Brian. Btw, Iâm one of the small handful of Christians that made a video and stood by what you said. I didnât understand the controversy at all. Happy new year!
Your channel is good, plz keep refusing the vax if u havent gotten it yet, how can there be anyway this isnt a part of the mark of the beast end times system?
@@prizonpalace I'm a nurse manager....been managing covid units the whole pandemic....unvaxxed...glory to God never got covid....I was totally prepared to lose my job Dec 5th for refusing to get it to keep my job. It's an easy decision....I stopped flu vax's and other medications over 4 years ago when I became a born again believer. Praise God my religious exemption request was accepted.....so He wants me here in this job a little longer. I will never take this vax....as I see that it is part of a beast system forming....the beast system is forming everywhere now.

Glad you found peace and salvation Brian, I was a huge KoRn fan years ago and also was saved from Gods wrath. I truly believe we donât have long until we will be with the Lord! Cya soon my brothers and sisters in Christ
When Christ returns we change to spiritual bodies instantly
-1COR15:50-58, MATT24:30-31
-NEVER believe He's back unless you're changed FIRST, no matter what happens, who comes, how they get here, or who they seem to be, if your flesh stays the same, then God is NOT here.
-There will be NO confusion when Jesus actually returns, so if anyone doubts it, then He's not back, but only a fake is here. REV20:1-3
-Shepherd's Chapel/CZcams
-Ancients taught Historic Premillennialism [Christ returns once, post-trib]
-The church stays during tribulation, mentioned after
REV 1-4 in 11:4
-CANDLESTICK = church
-[REV 1:20]
-I believe the anti-Christ will NOT kill any elect [other than the 2 witnesses] LUKE21:18-19
-so do NOT believe in the anti-Christ even if he acts like Jesus, peaceful the entire tribulation, doing miracles with millions of angels.
REV9:16, 13:13-14, DAN8:25, MATT24:24
-he acts peaceful physically to destroy spiritually
-DAN8:25 "...he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by PEACE shall destroy..."
-2COR11:14 "...no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light."
-In Greek "anti-Christ" = "instead of-Christ"
-don't think he is Jesus come to rapture you,
-don't think tribulation is over & he is God come to reign,
-don't even think the millennium is over & he is God come for final judgment,
-it's a trick to get you to commit apostasy by giving up on waiting for the true Christ cause you think the anti-Christ is God.
-REV13:11 "...another beast...; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."
-(Seems like a peaceful lamb, but speaks lies.
-The true Christ is the true Lamb [JOHN1:29], wait for him!)
-The anti-Christ comes 1st acting like God, only AFTER that will the true Christ return at the end. 2THESS1:6-7, & 2:1-8.
-I think the anti-Christ's time will NOT last 3&1/2yrs [ROM9:27-28/MATT24:22]
-& I think the GREAT trib will only last 5 months. REV9:5
-There is NO mid/pre-trib rapture
-REV2:10"...the devil shall cast some of you into prison, ...ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful"
-Wait for your body to change first to think if Jesus has returned, wait until no one questions it!
GOD bless you brother!

Merry Christmas everyone! Brian, I met you during the Monumental Meet and Greets and had a chance to tell you that your testimony helped spur my heart to reopen to Christ after years of being addicted and engaging in unstoppable self-destructive behavior. God continues to perform miracles in my life, and I'm just so happy that He has used my favorite band and my favorite guitarist to speak to me after all these years. I know it's not been a coincidence. Thank you for everything that you've done for your family, your friends, and your fans. A very, very, Merry Christmas to you, Jennea, and the entire Welch family from Neil in Santa Cruz, CA. God Bless.
Bless you sir
Thanks for sharing that Neil! Itâs encouraging to all of us who try so hard to walk with God, as Friend, Father, and Savior as we navigate the darker recesses of this present time! Happy New Year to you all. I pray God speaks to and through His kidsâŠ. Always!
Christmas is a pagan holiday with occult symbolism just like halloween and easter. Birth of Christ was around spring. I dont think Jesus would aprove of parents lying for years on end to their children about a non existant idol (santa, anagram of satan) for some materialistic nonsense
@@upthedownhill9110 And you as well!
@@itisfinishednowtimetoclean2723 Thank you for the kind words! God walks with us even when it's dark and we can't see/feel Him! Never give up!
At the end of the day, only God knows the true nature and faithfulness of one's heart. Godspeed Brian Welch!
The Christian journey is long, glad to share the path with you Brian
I read his book in early sobriety and it was helpful in that part of my journey. Despite his overboard Christianity at first he stayed true. That took guts considering all the crap he was getting. I can relate.
Thank you for posting this video! I want to THANK YOU. Today, I am 5 years, 1 month and 4 days sober by the grace of God. In 2017 the Army sent me to a Behavioral Health Treatment Center for my combat related PTSD. I was allowed to take two books with me. I took "Dark Days" by D. Randal Blythe and "Save me from Myself." They had such an impact on my life and your personal story of salvation and sobriety helped me realize that I had more to deal with than anger and nightmares in my life. I wound up staying an extra 28 days for rehab. I love your songs "Flush" and "Adonai" because they hit very close to home for me. I understand completely about having to learn to "dial-back" the Recovery Speak and "God talk." I had friends tell me I was coming off as "preachy" and "elitist." I had to learn there is a time and place to share my personal beliefs in relation to my recovery and sobriety. I don't want to be responsible for driving people away from either. I hope everything is going good for you and I Thank God for all he has delivered you from. Be Blessed!
Brian...we have never met. I rejoice knowing we are brothers in Christ. I must confess, I do not listen to Korn, and not much Heavy music...my wife does:) you have an amazing testimony sir, and we keep you in our prayers. God Bless.
Look up sleeping giant. A very anointed christian heavy band. They made their own style. Called praise core. It's hard core. Praising Jesus. Each song is written by the Holy Spirit.
@@jerimyleggett2688 will look it up....thx brother
I was on a plane with my family, and you, yesterday from DFW to Bakersfield. My wife saw you and kind of made a snap judgement (like most people at a terminal gate do of fellow fliers). I immediately stopped her and told her who you are and your story. I would have enjoyed a conversation about your journey, and your faith. And Korn, to be honest. We were all exhausted, and you looked tired as well so I didn't approach, plus getting off the plane at Meadows was a mess. Anyways, God bless you for being so open about your faith.
Keep the faith! That is hard to do in this day and age of blatant evil and in the worst ways. God bless you, brother for not backing down. Keep walking in the ways of the Lord no matter who you encounter. The Devil loves strife and unrest. This world is full of it.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Merry Christmas!

I was clear and sober when I had the encounter. If it hit me that hard, there's no telling what you went through. I listened to your testimony, and wow!
When youâre confident in your faith and what you believe, you never care about what others say. God bless you Brian. Youâre awesome!
Dude, i listen to your testimony. I was at the edge of my seat. At the end of your testimony, i was happy, and in tears. Praise the Lord!!!!!!
Man I'm happy there are Christians like Brian out there. It's great to have hope in life.
How is christianity a good religion, and hope of what?
@@theunholinesswithin70 Christianity is to be born again, have a new life in and through Christ. Its being a child of God and having a loving Holy heavenly Father. It's having God's power in you through The Holy spirit.
It's most of all a relationship with God, loving him and following Christ. Its not about what you can do but what God has done and what He can do through you and with you.
Hope is hope of an eternal life as a gift - of Gods grace we inherit eternal life in heaven. A place where there's no sorrow, burdens or sickness.
God is good, having faith gives you life.
@@Petteriks Did I ask what christianity is about?
@@theunholinesswithin70 you asked how it is a good religion and I answered how it is good. It is good for what it is.
It's not a conversation that will ever convince anyone of anything related to Christianity.
If someone really is interested and wants to really find out then they will wholeheartedly seek God and the one who seeks shall find.
It's a subjective experience and relationship so it's honestly kind of stupid to argue about it.
Soren Kierkegaard wrote a whole big book about it: Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments
Peace
@@Petteriks No, you've explained to me what christianity *is* (as I just said), not how it's good.
Proud of you man. Getting your life together after addiction. God loves you.
I know exactly what you mean Brian. I was extremely zealous about my faith in my early 20s to the point it was unhealthy as I was so confrontational towards people, but it was because I was doing what I thought was the right way to share the gospel. Praise God for people like you
Been wondering, I remember hearing that you left Korn, went to rehab, saw you started a Christian band for a bit. Then, the next thing I know I'm not hearing about you anymore until I saw you reunited with Korn.
I am glad to hear your still walking with the Lord brother because that is all that matters in life as everything hinges on it. Take care, be blessed!
Your story literally makes me cry every time I hear it. So powerful! I come from a very strict Baptist background and was always considered the black sheep of the family because my style and outspoken personality went beyond skirts and being the quiet woman I was supposed to be. I grew up believing someone like me and like you could never have a relationship with God, that God doesn't love or redeem people like us. It took so many years and terrible life choices before I discovered God on my own and who He truly is, that He created each one of us in His image and pours out His love and mercy on every person from any walk of life. I'm so thankful to our Father for revealing Himself to you so that you will spend your eternal life with Him!
Amen. We are saved by Grace
I guess it's Independent Fundamental Baptist?
@@theintrovertmedia8543 yes, yes it is haha. I go to a Baptist Church now and there's a veryyyyy big difference
It's so sad most of the Independent Baptist Churches are legalistic but not all, they will judge you by your appearance but again not all. I got saved in Independent Baptist Church here is Phillippines drug addict before & loves Satanic Death Metal Music. I'm still a part of Independent Baptist infact I'm a Pastor now. But I will not follow the judgemental & legalistic way of dealing people.
Love people like Brian that stand out from the crowd and are also courageous.
Dude. So good! I've worked a lot in church leadership over the years, and I've met so many people whose faith is swayed by the opinion of others or even the offence that someone may have caused them... but man, it really should be about you're relationship with Jesus, your own individual relationship with Him, everything else is temporal and in comparison we should treat it as such.
I have had the honor of meeting you Brian and your authentic love for the gospel and telling anyone around you is so amazing to see !!. From Drugs and hopelessness to radically Rocked by Jesus !!!
Me too!!! He is such a role model for Christians. He is such a humble person, if you didnt know you would never have guessed the type of life Head has lived.
He is proof of the power of the Holy spirit. I have all his books and have read and re-read them over an over. I've been a Korn fan all my life (I'm 50 now) and he inspired me to get clean and walk with Jesus and become a better person. Thanks Head from the bottom of my heart man!

I can understand the appeal of believing you are talking directly to God & if it gives you clarity on how to properly handle lifeâs challenges then even better. The alternative is talking to a priest or any member of the church who claims to know what Gods will is. All you will get in that conversation is their personal opinion & anyone who claims they know what god wants you to do is full of crap. Most of those mega churches wanted to stay open during Covid for monetary reasons not spiritual ones which caused so many people to get sick & some died. Those churches have blood on their hands. Iâd love to hear their leadership explain that one to God.
@@khworker1322 pretty sure in some it had more to do with the Bibleâs words on fear. I agree some may have been financially motivated. The spirit of fear is a terrible curse in need of being rebuked. Yesterday I heard on CZcams that a Church in America had humbly proclaimed that their congregation did not get sickness because none of them owned a TV- Amen to that definitely in agreement
Sir, you and your band mates have had my admiration for many, MANY yearsâŠas a person in recovery and a man who tries to live a spiritual life, you have my greatest respect.
Thank you for sharing your story: your courage, strength, and hope are inspirational.
Many blessings.
Love you Brian. Blessings brother!
I attended creation festival when I was 13 in Pennsylvania I believe. And Brian was there to speak to us all about his new found faith in God. It was incredible â€
Go somewhere else for your christian news
Love ya brother đ€đ»
If you have understood that you need forgiveness and you have put your trust in Jesus to forgive you the rest is history !! Much respect for your music and influence on me. Thanks bro. There are haters in every organization-- even Christianity sadly.
Because you are famous people will hate on you. Keep your faith in Him not others đ€
I love the man you've become with Our Loving Father
Continue to fight the good fight of faith brother, and to all of us here. Keep the faith!!
Thank-you so much for coming out as a Christian. Knowing (part of)your testimony gave me the initial strength that I needed, at the time I needed to make such a massive change. And to give my life to Jesus Christ. I cannot thank you enough.
God Bless.
Bruh thereâs a ton of us Christian artists that are with you and stand behind you. Praying for you since â94. Strong in Christ.
We've witnessed you live your life as a poured out sacrifice. We've heard the Lord's deafening ROAR as The Lion of the Tribe of Judah through your testimony & music. Thanks for leading.
Amen
Iâm so SO BEYOND THANKFUL for his faith!!! Praise be to God!!!!
I was a complete alcoholic and with all the dark stuff that followed. I also saw myself laying dead in a bed after a car accident and only by the grace of God and Jesus's love I got set free. Been clean for 23 years so again I say Brian much respect. I just lift my hands and say Amen we move forward positively
We love you, Brian! :) Thank you for being awesome. Merry Christmas to you, Jennea, and the fam. :) I hope 2022 is the greatest year of your life so far. God Bless! :)
God bless you Brian and Merry Christmas brother!!!!
Thank you for sharing. Im a 54 Christian who has had a bad few years but my faith is strong. Your story has helped me all week.
Man, I love Brian. Head! When I was a handyman at a certain Church in central FL that loves you. Brother, I was blasting Save Me From Myself! It felt right in such a beautiful place to have such amazing metal walk the halls of God with me. Thanks for that brother. You and I have times you'll never know of, doing some awesome things man. God BLESS.
I'm so happy to see him alive, happy and healthy.
Whatever religion he practices or whatever keeps him focsued, happy and sober, I'm so cool with it. :)
I've been sober for 6 months and really feel great.
Life changes when you take that route.
Thank you for being an inspiration, my good friend Brian.
Religion cant save you brother. Jesus can :) stay clean and check Him out
Dont give up braian. Your music is so good. And your faith is true. I see god in you. Cuse i feel him to. The holly spirit. Im very happy your alive with a loved dughter and thank you for leting god into your life. Much love and respect throgh all this years. Brokenredflag
I'm so glad you are still a Christian. I watched your testimony and cried and cried.. I love Korn. The bass is unbelievable. God bless you.
I like this comment. đ
you cant love korn and be a good Christian
@@StevenStaggs1 judge not, or you will be judged.
@@jurassicfett1274 im not judging, there is nobody who wont be judged, and what i said still stands. Listening to songs about drugs and sex and all this dark stuff with demonic screams... Yeah. Safe to say that good christians must abandon this kind of music.
@@StevenStaggs1 I believe he meant Brian Head Welch. He used to be in Korn but branched off and now is in a Christian Rock band called Love and Death
You have no idea how powerful your witnessing is for me Brian. I love your story and openness. Oh and I guess youâre good at guitar đđâ€ïž
Glad heâs still doing good! As long as heâs still believing, Iâll always believe in him đ
Love *never fails, *never gives up, *always hopes. Maybe turn your conditional "if he, then I" statement, into an unconditional "I'll always love him, support him, encourage him, EVEN if he isn't believing.". Thank Jesus He remains faithful, even if we are faithless!
I knew Brian was still my brother in Christ! đ
Damn man I read your book so long ago when I was in middle school. Still remember you describing doing pot for the first time and how you were sitting out back in a lawn chair and time flew by while you felt like only minutes passed. You have an amazing story man! Keep it up!
so encouraged by you !!
Iâm glad he spoke out about this⊠itâs sad to see when people overreact or take something out of context. Iâm a practicing Christian and I hate when Christians do this. Everyone has their own way of dealing with faith.. no oneâs perfect. We should support and show compassion towards one another rather than attacking. God bless
read numbers 31;18
I am so glad to hear this! Especially since this really feels like the end times where there will be a global renouncement of Jesus Christ as our saviour - this is so amazing and I hope you inspire people to keep going because I know as much as anyone it can be a tough journey!
@Brian Welch I'm great! I hope you're well too. I am such a Korn fan! Would love to see you guys in London.
I've been a hardcore Korn fan since the '95 self titled album so I was fortunate to meet you in Yuma Arizona in 2011(?) & hear your testimony. It was super raw & even though I wasn't a believer, I admired your courage. I'm still not a believer in the "God of Abraham" but I try to follow Christ's teachings & some of that acceptance can be attributed to your testimony in that little church 11 years ago. Much love, Brian.
If anyone renounces the faith, or backs away, they never believed in the first place.
I was born into a Christian home, blessing in one way, struggle in others. 46 now life has been fine but I know fully see the spiritual realm / spiritual warfare EVERYWHERE just like the code in the matrix.
The Lord said believers would have immense struggle. That's because the dark one targets us. "All his thought is bent on it"
Pray that your eyes will be open, and keep praying No Matter What!! Knock and the door shall be opened.
I can definitely relate. After years of addiction and being set free by the power of Jesus, I too started being over zealous. It made me unrelatable and not very Christ like. It made more Pharisee like. Always keep the love for God but never to the point where you look less like Christ and become religious and unrelatable.
I am glad that you are still a Christian. May God bless you, Sir Brian. Merry Christmas. :)
I absolutely love this perspective and appreciate the transparency. Somethings can get shared obnoxious wether intentional or unintentionally. You dont let anyone or anything change your character and that is quite a giant on a mountain.
Hey that was a good interview. I saw him with Aaron Gillespie in Fredericktown Ohio about 12 years ago and it was great to hear his story from him. What a level headed and well spoken dude.
Merry Christmas Brian and to your family have a Blessed day and New Year, I love hearing your sharing of scriptures in a non religious non organised way, although we don't need to explain ourselves or be concerned with what people think, it is important to ensure the messages and Gospel get out to those who haven't taken that step in faith that they may receive the great Gift God has give us through Our Lord Jesus. Peace be with you đâïžđđ€
I love how he responds to the accusations of renouncing his faith. It doesnât bother him and thatâs because he knows who he is and God knows who he is and thatâs all that matters. ( He was also my favorite member of KoRn growing up đâ€).
Thank's GOD for ALL! GOD bless U Head!!
It's a process friend, coming into understanding and you are no less going through it as all believers are. Stay encouraged
Proud of you, Brian! Keep it going.
hold those christian media outlets accountable. they oughta know better.
His books really helped me. He gives me inspiration and hope.
Brian Welch you are the love of my life forever and for eternity in Jesus Christ name amen thank you Jesus
When I got off amphetamines I had the same experience. Going from feeling hopless and empty to feeling a greater presence had me complelty engulfed in faith. Over time my perspective has shifted back into a more healthy belief in something greater but, the dogma obsession has died off.
JESUS is GOD. Repent and He will reward you with knowledge.
I had the same experience, I have been a Christian since I was 6 years old and when some very religious people learned through social networks that I was listening to heavy metal and that I am a fan of Metallica! I have had reproaches others have questioned me about my faith! I had two talks with the pastor, I said I love God he is my God, nothing has changed, I also live with God all days ! Just that I love Metallica! Difficult in the face of prejudice! Good luck for the release of this new album and stay as you are !!l
I just started to like metal recently. There's a great Christian metal band called Living Sacrifice. Really hard sounds but the songs reflect a love for Christ and his (the singer) spiritual struggles. Many people don't seem to understand or have empathy for the fact that most folks don't just find God, change for the better and live happily ever after. Existence itself becomes a crucible, a never-ending battle with oneself and their demons.
@@zen-sufi The fight against his own demons is constant but being a Christian, we are lucky that God helps us in our battles !!!
you have to really live these moments to understand !!!
@Harmony I have received the Lord in my heart since I was 6 years old so for 40 years, I have known God enough to always worship him first and know my limits in relation to the mentality of the world, our vocation as a child of God is to bear witness to our life as Christians to the world, to flee from it and to scorn it is to scorn souls who need to know Jesus. I'm not the type to lock myself in a church or some kind of unbiblical religiosity after everyone believes what they want, When a person has a real communion, relationship with God, the conscience serves as a lamp like the Bible so as not to hurt God, the Holy Spirit guides and takes again if necessary on condition of living God and not religious precepts which are afraid as much as 'they are brittle and full of judgment!
@@lumieresoso I used to listen to Metallica for years. What do you make of the 666 shape in the snake on the black album? Coincidence or intended? I found out some people think Where Ever I May Roam is written from Satan's perspective, taken from the passage in Job. Ride the lighting could be a reference to Lucifer, etc. It goes on and on-hard to know, but I chose to let them go.
@@finalsecretofchrono1339 I admit that at the beginning it bothered me these symbols relating to the devil, as a Christian but I read somewhere that it was the fashion in the 80s and 90s for heavy metal to do so and that the majority of bands are not satanic at all, like the symbol of the devil horns đ€đœ originally it is not at all relative to Satan, Metallica in their more recent albums have no longer hinted at the satanic world. I researched and prayed a lot
Iâve been a fan of his for years n still am even more so since he changed his life ⊠still love him heâs a solid dude
Brian, I have been a fan of yours for such a long time. I was once an atheist and found Christ shortly before you announced your faith, so I was so thrilled to hear that you found Christ as well! I'm just curious though, in what way did you feel zealous? I feel that people are confusing the word zealous with extreme, and they are not the same thing. If by being zealous you mean making Christian based music and doing works for Christ, that is what we are called to do. Those are signs of the Holy Spirit working in your life and is nothing to be ashamed of. God called those who were "zealous," in the Bible to speak his word to the people, and I feel that is exactly what he did with you too. Brian, you coming to know Jesus has saved literally THOUSANDS of people, and that is nothing you should be ashamed of or feel the need to apologize for. Never apologize for Christ. Again, I say this as a person who loves Christ and has been a huge fan of yours for a VERY long time. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be upon you!
Met you in the gym on a Shiprock cruise years ago. You had a heavy energy hanging over you and I am glad you have found some peace. While I am not Christian I share many of its beliefs. This is an individual thing and you should not have to explain it any further than that. May you and yours be blessed.
Being a Christian means that we believe that Jesus died on the Cross for our Sins. We believe what the bible says about how Jesus is the the way, the truth and the life, HE is the only way to GOD. No one comes to the Father but through me(Jesus). The beliefs you share in the bible come from GOD. The bible isn't filled with nuggets of truth here and there. It's the official word of GOD. Good, Bad and Ugly as it may be. Life is all those things and more. Bible prophecy is evident throughout our history.
Your testimony is absolutely inspiring! Jesus is amazing. Happy Birthday to our savior and Merry Christmas to everyone.
đđđđđđđ
I appreciate you clearing the air on this, as I believe God is using your story to reash so many more people than you will know on this side of life.
Blessed by you Brian. You are reaching a section of the population that many of us won't ever even encounter. So keep up your testimony and make Jesus smile at the unique guy you are.
God bless bro.
It's crazy how it feels when God first draws us in.
Thanks for the great tunes and positive message.
Iâm so glad heâs still a Christian. đđœ Praise God!
If someone âleavesâ Christianity they were never Christian in the first place. Itâs called generated fake faith into something that was never God
So glad I wised up and left Christianity. I'm happier now as an atheist than I ever was.
Went through the same thing 43 yrs ago. Heavy drug user drinker, front man / lead guitarist in a band and then shocked everyone by turning 180 degrees to the Lord. While it was good I left that destructive life, I could sometimes be overly aggressive in my witness. Here I am now at a youthful 61 still serving the Lord and am the guitar player in a band shining the light in the darkness.
Thanks for your amazing video's and music Brian! I love that you don't care what others think, at the end of the day it is your relationship with God and he knows your heart and all our hearts better than we know ourselves. So keep building that relationship with God and again Love your videos and the music you have been releasing. Absolutely loving "Love and Death" albums
Man I just can't listen to korn anymore without the Spirit convicting me. As a late 90s kid I grew up with Nu-Metal and I have the nostalgic feeling for the songs and whatever, but the message is too dark for me at this point. I truly wish it wasn't so, but from my perspective, this genre is a gateway to unholy stuff. Remember to always walk with the Spirit my bros, like Paul said. God bless
The music isnât going to damn you. I know what you mean though, I used to be a hardcore Slayer fan, but now just occasionally listen to the odd song about war. The Satan stuff is just too much.
â@@metaldog4642try coming from death, and black metal lol
@@42studios98 Lots of Death Metal. Yeah, Black Metal is pretty much anti-Christian stuff.
@@metaldog4642 it's been hard to break away for me.
@@42studios98 Yeah, itâs hard. You can do it. You might have to hang out with different people. Donât take music too seriously.
Hey God bless you Brian.
Anyone to be in a big band like Korn with the kind of success and influence the band has, to come out and confess the name of Christ, is a testimony that will always be around.
Stay in the cut. Weâre seated with HIM
Once Saved always Saved! Accepting Christ is the most exciting experience and wanting to share that with others is amazing. Don't let Man bring you down and please never lose your enthusiasm for Christ...God Bless You Brian.
I loved KoRn for the longest time growing up. Then i was radically saved as a young adult n was super zealous as well. Lol now i been in the Lord for years and i finally learned how to love others with grace. I thank the Most High for your salvation and I pray he continues to use you in a mighty way! â€
Can you imagine the Apostle Paul saying "Sorry guys, I had a literal encounter with Jesus Christ while on the road to Damascus, that's why I was so overzealous at the beginning. That's why I shared my faith SO much. But, I'll calm down now."
What a heartbreaker to see this comment. As a Christian that is on fire for the Lord myself, this genuinely makes me sad.
I would encourage you to take your understanding of him to the Lord and ask for clarification. It's possible that Brian was being outside of God's will at times in the beginning, and that he explained it as overzealous. He did say he was coming down from meth with his first encounter.
So happy to hear this Brian!
God saved me from death via addiction numerous times in numerous ways.
The fact I'm alive is a miracle. Thank you Jesus.
JESUS says keep Sabbath holy
POPE says keep Sunday holy
The WORD says the 7th day is holy!
The WORLD says the 1st day is holy?
7th day Sabbath = (Exodus 20:8-11)
1st day Sunday = (Mark 7:7)
WHO DO YOU OBEY đ€??????
@@protestant7778 this is irrelevant spam
I wouldnât believe that for a second. You too much integrity for that. How can you not love this guy?
Not over zealous..EXCITED bc you are soo incredibly different, changed to new & feeling so light, no more heaviness, on the inside! It's the most incredible love experience & you just want so badly for everyone to experience what you have! Yes, the feeling mellows after some time & with maturity. But please remember...God says to "return to your first love." I believe God loves our excitement over our receiving His love & how we share Him with everyone! It's been 10 short yrs for me & I don't want it to ever stop! Thank you, Lord, for making me New!!
