I never really listened to mushroomhead. I was more hardcore/punk rock. Regardless, it's weird because I've been struggling with my spirituality. I backed off from Christianity hard in the last 5 months. I say I stopped believing in anything. Long story short I am lost without guidance from a divine presence. I've decided to build a relationship with the lord again. So this video came out of nowhere but I can't help but wonder was the lord dropping hints? I'm grateful for you and your strength.

    Amazing testimony! I had the album "high gear" by Whitecross back when I was 10. Had no idea you two were connected, ironic that your music is some of my favorite of all time now. When I go to RUclips, "1000 years" is the video that loads up, not my home page. And I love the "nothing" shirt.
    Just remember, God PROMISED us that he would remove our sin, as far as the East is from the West, if we are truly repentant to him. Promised. Its on us to do better in the future, but that promise will always hold.....and all it takes is faith. Your sins are dead. All of the them. Dead and buried. And no resurrection there.
    And for the record....Jeffrey is the face of Mushroomhead, IMO. I think of your face Jeff, whenever I listen to a Mushroomhead song. Every. Single. Time. "Relatively invisible"? Yeah right.
    Are you kidding me? Iconic. Legendary. You are a blessing to this world Jeff! Bod bless you! I am honored to be able to call you brother now!

    Jeff is one of all time idols. I had a similar experience with a Christian woman. If it wasn't for her, I would not know God or Jesus period. Fate brought me to her after overdosing and waking up to her in the hospital. She was a nurse there. She really changed my life. A year after the overdose I actually bled out and saw the tunnel. I was stop by her face and my face together. I will never forget how scary and surreal yet serene that was. I was an Atheist before I met her. Now I am a true believer.

    Mushroomhead was a big part of my high school life, and a huge influence. Maybe you have seen some fan music videos of Mushroomhead, (i did a couple ones, my channel was Sr Cabeza de Coco). But however, I'm Christian and see this is really amazing for me. I remember doing a video when Jeff left the band. I was really sad (for Waylon too), but never imagined all the thing that was happening to Jeff. If left Mushroomhead was necessary to get close to God, this is really satisfactory.

    I'm Christian but am not religious at all. Religion and self righteousness has done more harm and turned more people away from God and Christ than anything else. When Christians speak with self righteousness the devil says thank you for your service.
    To truly walk with Christ is to be humble and know no one is better than anyone else.
    I can't say this enough. A Christian that truly walks with Christ and not just on Sunday can be one of the best people you will ever know.
    A Christian that is only Christian on Sunday and thinks they can do whatever because they are saved, they can be some of the worst people you will ever know.
    And to those that try to "prove God is real" you can't. Only God can. He has put blinders on everyone until they come to Chrsit and only He can't take them off.
    The unbelievers are lost sheep.
    The self righteous are wolves in Shepards clothing.
    Both need Jesus but it's the self righteous that do the most harm.

    This actually makes a lot of sense, because if you go back to the early Mushroomhead albums, a lot of his lyrics seem to be written from the perspective of someone struggling to find faith and meaning. It was like he was seeking wisdom and enlightenment, but found *nothing.*
    Songs like:
    "Conflict - The Argument Goes On"
    "43"
    "Mother Machine Gun"
    "The New Cult King"
    "Indifferent"
    "Born of Desire"
    and "Bwomp" tend to come to mind. I still listen to and love those early albums.

      Freind do you realize you watch videos like this for a reason? ....Because the bible says we are so desperately wicked to the core not having any good whatsoever. Because sin has made us spiritually dead and no man of his own free will is going to look for GOD. GOD said it is impossible for our wicked nature to know any righteousness. JESUS said we are at enmity against HIM. So what makes the difference in a saved person's life that he knows GOD and has a desire for heavenly things when GOD said of ourselves this is impossible. Its oh so simple but AMAZING, because of the unmerited GRACE of A HOLY GOD. The reason anybody, that truly loves GOD, is because THE HOLY SPIRIT is dealing with you and HE draws you to come to JESUS for the washing and cleansing of your sins which you will become aware of because the ALMIGHTY GOD is working in you and HE WILL FINISH IT. HE will not start a work in you then leave it all up to a spiritually dead sinner to do the rest. If GOD starts a work in a person its because JESUS died for their sins and HE will draw them to. HIM and REDEEM them because JESUS said He will save ALL that the FATHER gave HIM and none shall be plucked from HIS HAND. So why is an atheist bothering with watching videos like this when GOD plainly says all through the new testament that man is spiritually dead, dead, dead. Same with physically dead. You can hollar and talk with a physically dead person to just believe and get up and walk. How can they their dead? It would take a supernatural act for them to hear and get up and live. Its totally the same with spiritually dead people. It takes a supernatural act from GOD to do that. So I pray the LORD might use something that a Christian has said or many ways GOD has used to work through whatever it might be to save your soul. Because every true Christian thought the same way you do and that includes me. I was brought up in church and I hated it with all my being. I mean from a very young age. But freind if GOD starts working on your soul you will know it because it is inescapable and its GOD that will open your eyes and HE takes care of every single bit of it and HE will make you totally see and understand and enlighten you that HE PURCHASED you and you will see everything through totally different lenses. Then like all Christians do. You will be like AMAZING GRACE that GOD saved me from my sins which were making you run full blast to an ETERNITY in hell. That's when a born again Christian says oh my it is amazing that GOD saved me from a terrible ,horrible nightmare of the damning sin I never knew I had and would have died in them to the horrific reality of the torments of hell and would have been going there all alone but GOD saved me, the wretched sinful GODLESS heathen I was and deserved ETERNAL punishment. if not for JESUS CHRIST loving me. AMAZING GRACE. THE LORD may already be working with you. Because atheist dont want nothing to do with ALL THAT BIBLE, GOD WORSHIPPING CRAP. ALL of mankind is that way. Nobody wants GOD because our nature is wicked and we dont have one bit of good in us that can please A HOLY ,RIGHTEOUS GOD. So I do so hope GOD opens your eye's freind. ♥️🙏

    Long time metalhead. Been in the Mushroomhead pit. Been through it with the drugs/alcohol. Rejected by my family church. Went into a bad place spiritually. Saved in jail during a 30 day stretch. I'm just happy to see so many of the "hopeless" metalheads that welcomed me into their scene now welcome me into their churches after so many years. The metal scene is an awesome community of people who know intimately the pain of life and the importance of picking a brother up when they get knocked down. Maybe eventually church music will evolve into something I can jam to.

    Fantastic testimony and all the best to him, his family and church family! I myself was brought up in the church, grew up with Christian punk and heavy metal but, as a teen turned away. I was actually a fan of Mushroomhead then and later on met some fantastic brothers and sisters in Christ who were metal heads at a festival in Europe. I got back on track ( was in a death metal band, black metal band, and industrial band during a ten year period) and shaped up my walk with the Lord. Music is a great tool for worship and I am glad there are some fantastic bands in the Christian underground scenes. I am glad to see Jeff (met him with Mushroomhead in 2015 in Destin Florida when I was stationed down there) at a great church home and hope his testimony turns many to the Lord! God bless you all!

    I've been a mushroomhead fan for years and wondered why he left seeing this I understand. I grew up in church and from being bullied to having health issues I hated everyone and turned away from God. I felt I had been cursed and blamed him, inside I was a storm raging with hatred for everyone. I had friends but my rage and desire to walk this earth alone cursing never went away. Till I met my wife, she walked into a band practice and for the first time in my life I didn't feel hate. There was something different about her, we started hanging out and over the years went from friends, to dating, to married. She was raised in church as well but a different denomination but I like to experience all different denominations. She has made me a better man and a better Christian without her who knows where I would be. Probably alone and hating life and myself or even dead. Glad you are doing good keep up the good work and may God continue to bless you!

      Unfortunately there are Christian kids everywhere that are blessed with a lot and don't realize it. They think they're better than others and their parents are to blame for the way they act. I went to a Christian summer camp when I was 15. Kids made fun of me because I was from the local town that the camp was near. I guess that made me some backwoods hick in their eyes. They also chastised me because I got sponsored to go there by a local business and their parents paid all sorts of money for them to be there. I think a lot of us that lost faith have had some bad experience with so called Christian kids and it left a bad taste in our mouths. It's all good though. We're back on track and that's all that counts. We just need to make sure we teach our kids well.
