INTERVIEW WITH JENNIFER BENSON OF IGNESCENT

Ignescent: l-r Guitarist Nathan Allard, vocalist Jennifer Benson, bassist Ian Sebastian.

You probably know by now: I had planned to go to Kingdom Come Fest on Saturday, June 18th this year. When the schedule came out, I looked at if the bands I most wanted to hear were there on Saturday. Forsaken Hero? Check. Reclaim the Day? Check. Theody? Check. Ignescent? Right after Theody. 

And you know I didn't make it to KCF. Would I have lasted over eight hours on a warm June day at age 62 to hear all these bands? So I didn't get to hear Ignescent, but hopefully that will change someday soon. (And yes, for those asking, I did discover them on the FB group Female Christian Rock and Metal, as I have discovered several other groups I've interviewed.)

JR: Welcome to the blog. Could you let me know who all is in the band, how the band got started, and the origin of the band's name? 

JB: Jennifer Benson - vocals, Ian Sebastian - bass, Nathan Allard - guitar. We are currently hiring drummers. Lori Peters will be filling in for us at Lifest. 

I started the band by putting out ads on Craigslist and contacting people on bandmix. I prayed for the band name and was looking in the dictionary and the name Ignescent just popped out at me. Ignescent means to Ignite which is perfect since we want to Ignite people's hearts on fire for Jesus. 

JR: When I think of Chicago, where you're from, I think of Moody Bible Institute and Radio, Rez Band and Jesus People USA. I also think of pizza, Brookfield Zoo, the Cubs and the ChiSox, and traffic that gives me nightmares, but I'm getting off topic. What are the blessings and curses of being in Chicago, especially in relation to your faith and your music?

JB: The blessings of being on the Chicago are definitely my family and the food here is amazing! Giordano's Pizza is my favorite and Portillo's! The curses of being in Chicago is I have been bullied and harassed for my faith in Jesus. I've been treated like garbage. It's definitely not an easy place to live as a Christian. There are too many bullies here and the school system is awful.  

JR: I love your song "Remnant." Would you like to tell us about it and about what project you're working on? (As if you'd answer, "No, I don't want to talk about my music; I've yet to get that answer.)

JB: Thank you! Yes. We have a brand new song we co-wrote with Jeremy Valentyne formerly of the band New Years Day that we are hoping to release at the end of summer. We have many fests we will be playing at this summer including Lifest, Rock Fest, and Inkcarceration Fest. 

JR: I'm asking these questions after you performed at Kingdom Come Festival (KCF). We're currently having a two week heat wave in Indiana, with a two day period in the middle where it was quite comfortable. Coincidentally, it was during KCF. Last year, I watched golf ball size hail from my apartment window, just when another favorite band (Theody) was on stage. The hail didn't reach to Kokomo. Are there any instances where you saw God work things out perfectly for the band?

JB: Yes. Absolutely! Speaking of weather, at Rock Fest, a couple years ago there was a bad storm with tornado type weather. One person ran past me and said "We're gonna die." LOL. It was a little scary and all we had was our car to get in to run for cover. We thought the fest was going to be canceled and it happened right when our first set was supposed to take place. We all prayed and the weather cleared up quickly and we were able to play for the 2nd and 3rd set time that night. Everyone was OK. 

JR: I smiled when I saw your post of one of my favorite singers (Zahna) performing on your FB page, and seeing the guitarists of another favorite band (Becca and Marcus Sugg of Reclaim the Day) backing her up. What's it like being at a big festival like KCF? Are there any singers/bands that have mentored and encouraged you in your ministry? Anybody you've had the privilege to encourage and mentor?

JB: Yes. Sameer Bhattacharya of Flyleaf has given us alot of advice and encouraged us. It's so nice to have someone like that who has been so successful encouraging us. Yes. I have had the opportunity to encourage and mentor some local bands here. 

JR: Thank you for your time. While I wasn't able to hear you at KCF, I'm hoping to sometime. How can me and other fans reading this find out where you'll be and what you're up to?

JB: You can go to www.ignescentmusic.com, Songkick, and follow is on Instagram @ignescentmusic to keep updated on shows and news. Follow Ignescent on Spotify too as well as TikTok and Facebook all under @ignescentmusic

INTERVIEW WITH LAUREN KINDER AND THEODY

Yes, another interview with a band I discovered from the group Female Christian Rock & Metal. And one of my favorites. Some of the questions were answered by lead singer Lauren Kinder (identified as LK); the others were from the band.

JR: What are the origins of the band? Who is in the group? And where does the name "Theody" come from?

LK: THEODY started as my solo project in 2013. I asked a few friends to play some shows with me, and we thought it would be fun to keep it going. We decided on the name THEODY which means “a hymn praising God”. We have had several member changes over the years, and currently, the members are Charles (bass), Chad (drums) and myself (vocals), and we have a few good friends that play guitar live with us.

JR: I believe you have two albums out: "Define The Relationship" (2016) and "Smoke and Mirrors" (2021). Could you tell us about these projects and the development (both personal and as a band) in that five year span?

LK: “Define the Relationship” was a milestone for us as a band. Until then we had been playing a lot of songs I had written personally several years before. We wanted to write new songs that better represented the style of the group, and we were so proud of the outcome. We toured all over the country playing that album! 

In 2018 we released an EP titled “Prelude”. This is where Chad was able to contribute to the music for the first time. We leaned a little heavier with the sound and lyrics on that project. 

“Smoke and Mirrors” released in 2021. We collaborated with a good friend Tyler Simpson to write and record the project. He was able to help us finally produce a sound that I’ve always wanted but didn’t know how to achieve. In between releasing “Prelude” and “Smoke and Mirrors” we were blindsided by some personal issues that took a lot of time to work through. It definitely was a time of personal growth, and I used that to fuel my lyric writing! Our music style has changed a little with each release. Maybe it’s because it’s most recent, but I think we would all three say that ‘Smoke and Mirrors’ feels the most authentic to us.

JR: 2021 was a difficult year, and one of the disappointments I had was missing Theody coming to Indiana not just once but twice! (The first time, while you were performing at the Kingdom Come Festival, I was at home an hour away watching golfball size hail outside our window.) What do you like best and least about traveling on the road? What are the most interesting locations you've performed in?

THEODY: We have had vehicles break down on the road more times than I can count! So there’s always a little bit of anxiety that we might not make it to the venue when we are traveling so many miles on a rigid schedule. Funny thing is, we have only ever missed one performance because of car trouble (and that show was kind of a bust anyway, so we didn’t miss much). 

Some of our favorite shows have been the unassuming places, like a tiny room in an old school with no stage, a park in Oregon where the homeless gathered, a tattoo parlor lobby… It was also pretty exciting to play Exit/In in Nashville! 

JR: Who were some of your influences/heroes/mentors, be it musicians, teachers, authors (fiction or non-fiction), etc.? 

THEODY: We are definitely more music listeners than book readers! A huge influence for Charles is the band The Wedding. For Lauren, Red, Children 18:3, Wage War, Rivals. For Chad, Bring me the horizon, Breaking Benjamin, The devil wears Prada, August burns red, A day to remember, Switchfoot, Fit for a king, Kanye west… too many to list! 

JR: What would you say the highlight of Theody's tenure has been? Anything that happened that made you glad the band was formed? Any impact it made on people's lives? 

LK: It’s always great to see the crowd singing and shouting along. We have played lots of shows where you can feed off of the energy of the audience as much as they feed off of ours. Then there’s the shows where it’s a bit harder to read the room. There have been a few of those where someone came up to me after the show to thank me for something I said on stage, that it was exactly what they needed to hear, or that certain songs we played really spoke to them personally. It’s a humbling reminder that it’s about more than just putting on a good performance, but about connecting with other people. Writing lyrics is a vulnerable thing, and it’s rewarding when that transparency can help another person feel understood.

JR: Thank you for your time. Is there anything else we should knowabout Theody? How can we keep up with what you all are doing? 

THEODY: Thanks for having us, and thank you to anyone who has read all of this! We have been quiet recently, but we do have some shows booked for 2022 and we hope to do more creating also. We are on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, or you can see our news and tour dates on our website theodymusic.com

INTERVIEW WITH MEREDITH AND CHRISTIAN DUNCKEL OF UNDEFEATED

In the past week, I posted a pair of interviews with groups I discovered in the FB group "Female Christian Rock and Metal (Saving Jackie four days ago, Worhol the day before yesterday). Undefeated is another band I learned about that way. You may remember my interview with Becca Sugg of Reclaim The Day? Becca and Meredith competed for an award late last year.

Both Meredith (lead vocalist/guitarist) and Chris participated in the interview. I've chosen to use green to identify Meredith (afterward referred to as MD) and red for Chris (CD).

JR: How did you get interested in music, and how did that lead to the formation of Undefeated? Who's all in the band?

MD: I (Meredith-Lead Vocals/Guitarist) have loved
music from a very young age. Our parents were huge rockers back in the day, and have a whole God-story on how they’ve been led out of the secular scene, so we grew up with only contemporary music. Nothing wrong with that, but once we discovered the guts of rock and metal, we were hooked. I was part of a youth group who didn’t have room for anyone but the
“important” people. Longggg story short, this youth group brought in a couple bands from Canada and Massachusetts for a concert. The youth group worship team was going to open for them, and their electric guitarist bailed last minute, so I was asked
to step up. This was literally like the 2nd time I’d ever touched an electric guitar, so it wasn’t great, let’s be honest. aha.

After the concert, the manager of the MA band caught up with my mom and I, and said “I felt like God told me to encourage her.” I was invited to play a couple of songs at a worship festival that he hosted. We thought the worst thing that could happen was we wouldn’t go again, so we went! That event flipped a switch for me. The festival had all kinds of music, pop, rock, reggae, jazz, screamo. But the biggest thing, these people were like me! I just felt so included, and these people just understood who I was. 

 

A couple weeks or so later, I asked Christian (Drummer/Vocals) if he wanted to start a band, and he said “YES!” After splitting with our former bassist in 2020, we added our younger sister, Lis, to round out the now family band! 

JR: I saw (and loved) your recent video Cages. What inspired the song and the video? 

MD: Thank you! That was one of my favorites. We filmed it in an old broken down creamery in Boonville, NY! The sun was perfect that day, and the weird tan lines I got from the jewels/glitter on my face and arm lasted awhile, lol!

I don’t usually write songs off of personal experience, but they do tend to come around to mean something to me later. One of the main chorus lines is “Those caught up in cages, think freedom is a crime”, and that’s pretty fitting for the world state right now, is it not? I am very passionate about is the freedom that the true Christ brings, and I’ve recently just realized that a lot of my songs have that underlying theme running through them. So, the video was created around that one end scene, where Christian realized the back of the cage has been open the whole time, and he walked out free. 

JR: Glancing at your Facebook page, I've noticed a variety of venues: Firestream Festival and Revival, August 15th; Guest Worship with Christian Assembly of Schulyer, September 26th; Anti-Violence and Stop The Hate Concert at Watertown, NY, October 17th. Any stand out as being a blessing, a surprise, or simply memorable?

CD: The Anti-Violence show, even though it was cold. (End of October, outside, in upstate New York = FREEZING) It was close to home and the people there were amazing! Everybody was just helpful and it ended up becoming a great time and we met great people; it was really a blessing in disguise. I thought it was going to be a hassle but I ended up having a lot of fun there. 

Soulfest in New Hampshire was just memorable. I learned lots working with the stage crew there and
got to see bigger bands come through. I got to see what it takes to grow our band to the next level which was pretty cool.

JR: How have you dealt with COVID as a band?

MD: You know, we’ve just kept taking steps
where we felt like God was leading us. 

JR: What are the biggest challenges you find as a band, and where do you get the most support to face those challenges from?

CD: The biggest challenges I find being part of the band is the time aspect. I go to school full time and we have to practice at least 2-3 times a week. Granted, we have been slacking in that for the past month but we are getting back into the swing of things and I have to start managing my time better, be it in school or out of school. I also like to practice a lot by myself to be able to grow as an individual musician. This allows me to become better and help progress the band to where we want to go. 

I get the most support from my band mates and parents. Meredith and Lis are always encouraging and we work around each other to be able to keep the band alive and striving. Sometimes we get picky with each other but in the end we all know the direction we have to pull in and pull together. My parents also support my decisions to stick with band. They allow me to take school off to play/record or do other band things. They pushed me to really become the band mate I am today. 

JR: Thank you for your time. How can we keep up with Undefeated? Any thing coming up that you'd like to let us know about? Any prayer needs? And yell if you're in Indianapolis!  

MD: We loved being a part of this! So, thank YOU! :) Our website is up and running, so you can check us out there! We’re also on Facebook and Instagram. Catch our music videos on Youtube! We recently just started a TikTok, so follow us there to be a part of our shenanigans!

Anddddd we’d love to come to Indianapolis! Anyone want to host? :)

 

 

INTERVIEW WITH THE BAND WORHOL

Left to right: Craig Malinowski, Ashley Worhol, Larry Worhol, Marty Naul

 Yes, another band I learned about in the FB group Female Christian Rock & Metal. This time around, I have the honor of having the entire band involved. Besides the initials, I have each member in a different color font to keep it who's speaking (Ashley in red, Larry in blue, Marty purple, and Craig green).

 

JR: It probably shows my age, but when I saw the band's name, I immediately thought of Andy Warhol. Any relation? Also, how did the band start, and who's all in the band? 

 

AW (Ashley Worhol): Actually, yes!! Andy is our distant cousin and there’s a long story to why our last name is spelt with an “O” instead of an “A” but in the end it’s a blessing because 1)  we are still recognized by our last name due to the relation, but 2) we are also able to create our own story since our spelling is slightly different.

Both my father (Larry Worhol) and I have always bonded over and shared our passion for music. Starting out, it wasn’t even until I was in college when I realized my dad played guitar. I always knew him as a pianist, like myself. I remember coming home one weekend and hearing what I thought was a recording playing and I walked in pleasantly surprised to see it was my dad playing the guitar! At that very moment we decided we were going to start a band and chase our dream together. We started writing music together and then began our search for our other band members. 

 

Currently, we have four total members: myself, of which I am the vocalist, lyricist, pianist and co-composer; my father, the guitarist, pianist and co-composer; our drummer Marty Naul and our bassist Craig Malinowski. My father, myself and Marty actually have our degrees in music and Marty even plays with the Fort Bend Symphony. Craig has his degree in Computer Animation which helps us because he does the majority of the graphic work for the band and even designed our logo! So overall, we have a very well-rounded group of individuals who are extremely passionate about music!  

 

JR: On your Facebook page, you have the intro, "An army of chosen ones who would bring forth to the land a new and inspirational voice in music." That sounds intriguing; would you like to elaborate? Any connection to your 2017 project "The Awakening?"

 

LW: Within the words spoken is a spiritual belief and message. Like an army of angels chosen by God to descend down to the Earth, they will be sent to change mankind to a new and better way of thinking and believing. Not that we were chosen by God, maybe so, but to bring a change to the age of music we live in and bring a breath of fresh air with our music.

AW: My father actually came up with that intro and in all honesty, I think it fits our band’s aesthetic quite perfectly. When we began the process of writing and recording our first album, “The Awakening” we wanted our music to tell a story, to be a voice that needed to be heard. The title is extremely symbolic and “The Awakening” represents the path of enlightenment and being aware of all that is going on around us. Our music, our lyrics, each of these are set to awaken individuals, to help guide them, to comfort them, allow them an escape from reality. Everything we do has a purpose.

 

JR: You have a new EP coming out, if I heard correctly. Would you like to tell me about it, and especially the track "Fight, Fight, Fight?" (As if there's any chance you don't want to talk about your new project?)

 

MN: Sure! My perspective is from a drummer’s point of view, so here goes; “Fight, Fight, Fight” is a hard driving straight-ahead rocker with a really fun drum part that I created for the song. There’s a lot of double bass drum work in the tune, but it doesn’t overshadow everything else that’s going on. There is also a recurring drum fill that I play, sixteenth notes between the Tom’s and kick drums, that I used to tie the sections of the song together. It’s a pretty intense drum part, but it’s a lot of fun to play! 

AW: The EP we have coming out I would consider to be some of the most elevated music we have written both lyrically and musically. Without giving too much away, what I can tell you is the majority of these tracks are heavier than our first album and the lyrical content is extremely deep. The orchestration that my father composed on these tracks are breathtaking and will completely take you on an enchanting, dark, yet beautiful journey.

The track you are inquiring about, “Fight, Fight, Fight” might be one of my favorite songs we have written but I’m a little biased and love all of them! Ok, maybe I’m a bit biased! HAHA! This track speaks about artistry as a whole. It doesn’t matter what field you are in; we as artists of all forms all have the right to share our story and should have the freedom to do so. This track is a reminder for anyone to fight for what they believe in and to stand strong if anyone tries to take away your voice. The opening lyrics of this song are, “In this mess of a world, I will stand. Join me in this fight, till the end. Hand in hand let's raise our flag. It’s us or them, don't be their body bag.”

 

JR: Besides the obvious pandemic, what struggles has the band dealt with since it started? What sources of encouragement have helped deal with those issues?

 

CM: Well since the pandemic has first started, it truly has affected us as a band as well as independently. Lockdowns lasted a while and even some great venues have shut down permanently. In 2020 I think we only played a single gig all year long. Finances become tight and delayed productions in what we had planned but we are still moving forward. All this can be pretty depressing. After being a bit down for a while, I decided to make the best with what I can. I found some flexible sources of income, started to take some time to invest in myself and eat healthier and work out a lot more. That has made a tremendous impact and helped me keep my head on straight.

 

AW: When the pandemic first became a national crisis everyone in the entertainment industry was left stranded. I know for myself, performing is a way I have always healed myself and that was no longer an option. I am someone who absolutely loves human connection and to not be able to perform, to hug, to share our music which allows people to escape, was actually incredibly difficult on many levels. I personally struggled with my mental health and fell into a deep depression. I am someone who always tries to turn a negative situation into something positive which is exactly what I did. I went straight back to music and started writing a song called, “Speak to Me” which Worhol is actually about to release this month (Jan. 28^th). Everything I was feeling, the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful, I allowed myself to be vulnerable and turned this heartbreaking situation into something that could heal myself and hopefully others during this universal time of sorrow.

 

MN:  We have managed to keep our music alive and relevant during this trying time of COVID related shutdowns, by marketing our music through videos and films. When live performances went away, bands could either sit around wondering what to do, or they could think out of the box and come up with a “Plan B”, and that’s what we decided to do. By making sure our music stayed available, it hopefully gave people a way to escape the bad things that were going on all around them. 

 

JR: If there was one thing that happened that made you think the band accomplished something positive, what would that be?

 

AW: There have actually been so many positive accomplishments so far in our journey, it’s hard to choose just one. Outside of the personal satisfaction of putting what’s in your mind into a reality, what I cherish the most and will always consider a high accomplishment is when someone tells you how your music truly has impacted their life. I consider myself a healer in a way through our music and some of the messages I/we have received have put me in tears but in the most beautiful way possible. To be able to touch a human life in that way is exactly the reason I do what I do and is even more confirmation that I/We are on the path we are meant to be on.

 

JR: Thank you for your time. Any other news you'd like to share? Any events coming up? And how can we keep up with what's new with the band?

 

AW: We can’t thank you enough for taking the time to get to know us! We actually have a lot of incredible opportunities lined up for this year! One of our very exciting announcements is that Worhol will be headlining LEAF Fest in Llano, Tx March 12^th, 2022. We also have multiple musical releases planned for this year as well as a performance planned towards the end of the year that we can’t quite announce yet, but what I can say is something of this caliber has been on a bucket list of mine ever since the band began its journey. 

 

Some other exciting news, there are two featured films that I scored that are set to release this 2022 year. “Terror Trips” which is directed by Jeff Seemann and “Root” which is directed by Christopher Maggard. So overall, this year is looking quite promising for Worhol and we can’t wait to share our music with each and every one of you! In regard to keeping up with the band, you can follow us on all social media platforms and if you message the band you are in fact talking directly to us so feel free to reach out!

INTERVIEW WITH RICHARD PRESTON, ADMINISTRATOR OF FB GROUP FEMALE CHRISTIAN METAL & ROCK

 

I go through a love/hate relationship with internet groups. I enjoy being in them and like a sense of belonging. Sometimes, though, I think I'm in too many groups and trim them down. One group I stuck with for years is Female Christian Metal & Rock. (For those who thought my music tastes were limited to hymns and classical music, I hate to disappoint you.) Today, I have the honor of interviewing that group's moderator, Richard Preston.

JR: Let's start with the Facebook group. Could you tell us about the group and how you became the administrator of it?

RP: Hey Jeffrey! Well, I am a member of several Christian rock and metal groups. A few are not moderated to where they get any real messages out. Few rarely post concert dates, new groups, release dates, etc. One day earlier this year, I get a post message asking if I want to take over as admin of Female Christian Metal/Rock. I have no idea how I was chosen out of over 500 members. After a moment, I jumped on it. One of the best choices that I have made, EVER. I did change the name to make it sound better. Since taking over, I have introduced many bands. Members have commented on never hearing about some. I enjoy the sharing.

JR: How did you come to Christ, and when did you develop a love of music? Are you a musician yourself? And what is your day job?

RP: My 3 siblings, all younger, were baptized very young at a Baptist church. I sat in a pew each time thinking that something was wrong, this has to be a conscience decision. Years later, I was at a retreat, and there was a call for those that wanted to be saved. Heads bowed, eyes closed. Suddenly, I felt that it was my turn, I raised my hand. I am 55 now, and 2021 has been my most productive year in learning about God and Christ. 

I played the trombone in junior high school. I chose to quit in the ninth grade because I wasn't really that good, in my opinion and, I became bored with it. I do not work. I have been disabled for a number of years. I have neuropathy which limits normal motor functions. But, I am in the process of adapting a book to a screenplay. We will see how one-handed typing works. 

Music started in elementary school. My parents listened to country music. I sort of got into it, but it really wasn't me. A clock radio was put into the room and I started looking for something. I came across 2 AM stations that played disco and pop. It was better, I enjoyed some of it. And then some years on down, friends introduced me to rock and a better station, on FM, 97 Rock. From then on, nothing else. Granted, I still enjoy a little disco, pop, and soft rock music, but nothing beats a screaming guitar.

JR: Can you name three bands/artists that made an impact on your life?

RP: I will go backwards using life impacts. 

1. My love for guitar based bands/music started with The Little River Band. Hearing Happy Anniversary and Help Is On It's Way was the very start. Great songs and great guitars. Then my friend, Scott, played Def Leppard's Pyromania constantly. That and Night Ranger's Midnight Madness sealed it. Then came the other great rock and metal bands...and MTV! 
2. Faith-based music started later with Stryper (of course). I became more in-depth with them when the internet came around. Then finding Holy Soldier, Ken Tamplin (Shout), Bloodgood, and some others. I am rather picky. 
3. I really enjoy working merch tables. I have worked numerous Winter Jams and one festival at Six Flags. Hearing up and comers gives me a chance to find other artists to enjoy. My first time hearing Skillet, I worked handing out some kind of pamphlets. Whispers In The Dark is their typical opener, it became my instant favorite. Then seeing them do Winter Jam and able to slip away to see that one song makes me a happy camper.

JR: A lot of the discussion in the group is promoting the great female singers in Christian rock, but has there been moments where God has worked through the group?

RP: The music business in general is male dominated, including the Christian genres. We are supposed to treat all as equals in Christ, that is my attempt here. I have had male artists attempt to post their music, I just do not let it happen. I cannot say if anything Godly has worked through the group, not much is mentioned in general. I have reposted a few things, such as a “sort of” (her words) testimony from Becca Sugg. And thoughts from bands on other topics. Personally, I have been moved by the thanks I get from the artists that i post. Some privately, and some in comments. At times, just seeing those words bring tears. I am very humble and very happy to do what I do with the group. Anthony from Saving Jackie, we are definitely “one” in Christ. When we talk, we seem to say something the other needs to hear.

JR: I'm sure you'd agree that we're in changing times. What do you see the role of Christian music in general and Christian rock specifically?

RP: Though I am not a CCM fan at all, it seems to be the most popular, and the most flooded out of the Christian genre. Christian rock and metal, at one time, was referred to as the “devil's music”. Not all has to sound like a hymn. Accommodating to the different genres is a must in order to keep God's message flowing positively. I can think of it as a personal thing. Would I as a Believer, listen to CCM if I did not like it? Absolutely not. There are some that can listen to Jeremy Camp, then Skillet without missing a beat. I am not one of them, and there are other people that are the same as me. Then there are some that go with even heavier tunes. If the music honors God, is against Satan, loosen up, it's all good.

JR: Thank you for your time, Richard. Anything else you want to share? If someone's interested in the group, how can they find it?

RP: I do have a blog on Facebook, titled MyJourney. Sadly I do not keep up on it as much as I feel that I should. I currently have several about to go live. The topic is about my journey learning about God and Christ, my thoughts about anything in my life related to Them. My page can be found on Facebook, and a Google search will bring it up, Female Christian Rock & Metal. Jeffrey, I am humbly honored, thank you.
