I was standing in my living room when he came to me, my vision closed out, and I want to describe it like a light, but it wasn’t and he put the words in my mind. I didn’t hear a voice, but he told me he had been trying to get through to me for sometime now and that I was going to need him very soon, two weeks later, I was diagnosed with cancer.

    After a successful medical career, I found myself going through a tough divorce and the family courts. I was raised in the church, but never really embraced Scripture. I was down and out living in my medical office when I read his book. I renewed my vows to Christ, was fully baptized, and served The Lord for several years.
    Fast forward a decade.
    Now, I was back on my feet and living large. I had all the luxuries of life and had abandoned my obedience to the Lord.
    And right in the middle of that opulent lifestyle, something changed.
    The Holy Spirit moved in me, and for the last 2+ years, I’ve been immersed in the Bible several hours a day.
    I’ve never been closer to our Lord.
    Oh, what a feeling it is….to be sanctified. Praise the Lord!

      Just talk to Jesus yourself. Israelites had to do blood sacrifices to cover their sins, but Jesus Christ was a perfect, sinless blood sacrifice. He suffered the consequences of your sin so that you don't have to. But He also reconciled us back to God. This means that you can talk to God yourself, you don't need a middle man. You can talk to Him anywhere , anytime, for any reason, in any way you choose. You have that authority bc the Creator is your Father. And unbelievablely, He so desperately wants to hear from YOU. You talk to any & every person you come across, but you just keep ur Heavenly Father hanging, without a word. Ever.
      Whether you talk to Him silently in ur mind, or aloud, He hears EVERYTHING you say. He is so interested in every single little aspect of your life, He loves you SO much. If you're honest with Him then He can help you. Even if it means you're so angry that you go off , at least ur honest, He responds to honesty.
      He knows we are made of dirt. He knows we try everything under the sun to gain satisfaction. But He still challenged you, He said "Try ME"
      Nothing in this corrupt world can ever satisfy your heart. You'll feel pleasure , temporarily, but itbfades, so u live ur life chasing it.
      U don't have to. The Creator of the entire Universe sees YOU! He has His eye on you 24/7.
      Talk to Him honestly, open your heart to Him. He won't let you down if your sincere 🤍

    When I was 14 years old, Korn was my favorite band. I came to Christ at 17 and threw away all my Korn cds and all the other cds that I felt were not good for me. I even prayed for the bands of the albums I threw away, that they would come to Christ. At least one of those prayers was answered in Brian Welch. That and apparently the band Cold.

    KORN literally got me through my teenage years and school. I have always believed in Christ but I still loved KORN. When I sang along I could feel everything inside of me release and I felt understood and not alone. That’s what music does for people. It unifies us. Christ is there but as a teenager I didn’t feel the christian music could meet me where I was inside. So I’m glad I had the music to connect to back then. I am almost 40 now and the Christian song I connect to now is “Even if” by mercy me because that is REAL. I hope you don’t ever regret your early life because some of us needed you!

    So glad you guys are embracing Brian.
    I am a rocker saved by grace, also with the realization that there are pockets of people under the tent of Christianity who are harsh judges, they seem to misunderstand grace while at the same time singing that grace is amazing.
    Some of these people have declared Head to be false. I know in my faith and in prayer that Brian changed drastically. I have been a Korn fan since their first album, I could tell right away that Head was saved, he changed.
    Bless you guys.
    His decision to return to the band has brought many to Christ. If anyone reading this feels judgemental, try prayer and maybe review passages of Scripture which declare that while we were sinners God loved us so much that He sacrificed Himself through His Son, to obliterate our sins forever. God's LOVE is the key and permeates through all of us who have answered the call of salvation through belief in Him. Where sin abounded, grace flooded. God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. We are all members of the same body, so the eyes should never tell the ears they are not needed because they can't see. We all need each other, to pray for each other and praise God together.

It doesn’t separate me from god I actually think thankyou Jesus for letting me see this world and hear these beautiful voices and be touched by these lyrics that tho not about you.. make me feel happy or even sad, able to feel emotions and understand emotions.
      Now call me a bad Christian for still liking rock and punk but .. every step I take I try not to do something horrible and bad but is it actually sinful to be WHO I AM? Like am I a bad Christian just because I still like rock? Am I not “truly saved” because I still like gothic stuff?

    This guys testimony has inspired me. I grew up in church just never fit in or seemed to live up to other peoples standards. At about 17-18 I rebelled. It always seems as if the “wrong” crowd is the most accepting so I went that way wholeheartedly drugs alcohol, witchcraft even became a not very famous metal musician. I still feel like I get looked down on because of the length of my hair etc. in most churches. It’s become very apparent to me that Christ died for all and wants a personal relationship with all. Not just those that have the perfect haircut or those that wear a 3 piece suit or even those that attend church twice on Sunday and once on Wednesday. Church shouldn’t be a club of rich snobs…hmmmm isn’t that called a Country Club anyway?

    I met Head while my friend's band opened for Korn. He was great hiding his pain on stage and during public events. I never understood it since I was just a teen touring with said friend's band. As I grew, I found out how quickly you can fall into this pit. I've overdosed and died. What I seen during my near death experience was powerful enough to break the chains. Running into Korn a few times after Brian's "breakdown" he was a new man. Supportive every way possible. We love you brian.

And when you are someone who has been in the dark you know you have to do what you can to try to help others who are still there.

    I'm so happy for Brian! I love hearing other people's testimonies! The most surprising thing about giving my life to God was how He actually made me into a new person. There was a time when I was living a very sinful life that I didn't think I could give up, and didn't want to give it up, but after giving my life to Christ, I woke up one day and all of the sinful things I thought I loved, turned me off completely! There wasn't even any temptation anymore. For the first time, I could see clearly.
    If life isn't working for you, if you feel lost, alone, if you're hurting, depressed, or physically ill, just reach out and call His name. Like Brian said, He is always close by, eager to embrace you and fill you with His grace and love. You will never regret it! He IS The Great Counselor and Physician! ✝💗🙏 Thank you Lord for all of your many blessings!
