    I am in my 70's and the Lord led me to Zach's music. Everyone's is different, but no matter what the specifics are, when we find Jesus, we find hope. Zach's songs all have hope.

      The negative influences of this world are designed to make our heart sick through emotional & physical pain resulting in a given person turning to music as one source of comfort to the body. The painful realty of this existence gives rise to the birth of music in two forms, earthly & HEAVENLY. Earthly music speaks to the experiences of this world through the singer-song writer’s eyes. Oftentimes drug use (i.e. alcohol, smokes, marijuana, cocaine, opioids, benzos and propofol to name a few) is intertwined with the survival of an artist to deal with the pressure of performing in order to stay relevant in the music industry, and to serve as fuel for creativity. As a result, music celebrities develop a tendency to sin against their body, through excessive drug use, for not measuring up to or to satisfy the demands of their music. Any earthly joy they experience is darkened by the heavy burden of performing and the loss of privacy.
      The end users of their music become fans because the lyrics are relatable and the sound of the singer’s voice & rhythm helps them cope with the pains of this reality. Unfortunately, this band aid approach is only a time out from the hurt and in the meantime we are fortifying its wall with painful memories waiting in line. Who can save us from wounds that are silent, wordless and cruel all the while tearing us apart inch by inch on the inside, which could radically accelerate the demise of the human body? I will use caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY when writing about HEAVENLY music in the paragraphs below.
      That INVINCIBLE DIVINE be our HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO THROUGH HIS SON’S MISSION HAS INSPIRED believers to write songs that sing of HIS LIFE GIVING LOVE to deal with emotional & physical pain, economic instability, mortality and the emotional instability of others with the motive of winning over souls for HIS KINGDOM. The melody & theme of HEAVENLY music is hateful and intolerable to the devil, a spirit which causes us to be blinded of the effects of sin and is responsible for the woes of this world such as melancholy, anguish, tribulation and trial. These agitations of the soul create a heavy burden for the lost and could lead him or her to be hostile of songs that sing about GOD’S GLORY. This makes it clear that we cannot win the spiritual battle by our own strength. Moreover, on earth the devil has no equal.
      GOD has provided us with the ONE WHO CAN AND WILL LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt from a given sinner's heart if he or she (through faith) would open their understanding to Psalms (starting with the focus on Psalms 51:1-10 KJV), and hymns/songs giving praise to HIM for the purpose of being persuaded, converted and healed by the HOLY SPIRIT from within by transforming your body/temple into a meeting place for you and the KING OF THE AGES to commune as friends through the born again experience (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life). It is only here that the fears of tomorrow will diminish, the blessed assurance is given that you are HIS and HE LIVES. Once the blessed assurance is known in prayer (through the confession of wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, combine with admitting that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and believing in one’s heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead to deliver us from sin's guilt) the world can never take it away because the world didn’t give it to you.

    At 17 min he says he could have been in prison before he knew God. I'm realizing that I could have been, too. I drunk drove. I transported things over borders I had no business doing. I didn't get caught by the authorities; I got caught by God, the ultimate authority. I am so humbled and grateful! This realization takes away judgement I've had for people who commit crimes.

      We are all slaves to sin until we gain the freedom through our LORD JESUS CHRIST AND HIS AMAZING GRACE evidenced in the following prayer using caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY.
      On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE.
      YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰
      YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow.
      If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰
      They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh.
      They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take.
      Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES.
      LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain.
      LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌
      LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰
      LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌
      If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee.
      Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh.
      O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰

    Kurt thanks for the video. I so appreciate you both.
    1981 had my own rock band called Southern Sage in Washington DC.
    Until one night In Annapolis Maryland....there I was in the darkness, calling out from the pit of my despair,
    There you were in the shadows calling out my name you met me there. Now where would I be without you, where would I be Jesus!
    You were the voice in the dessert of my soul calling me out in the dead of night
    That's exactly how it happened. On the exact spot We're Kunta Kinte was made a slave of men, 200 years previous, I was set free and became a slave to Christ. April 4th 1981 thank you Jesus!
    Later that yearly cuty hall actually erected a monument to Kunt Kinte on the very spot.
    Started going to a Church where immediately they wanted to make me their youth leader.
    I was so poor and character that I backed out ..instead joined a college group called New Life students at U of MD. It was there I was discipled by brother's my age and younger that had been saved 6 months longer than me. We moved right households in that little Fellowship.
    It Grew From 30 to 180 in 6 months.
    Because I had useful new believer seal, and could sing and play Sweet Home Alabama, They had me leading the worship and I was a terrible manager and baby christian, not aware of anybody around me but me as much.
    Was invited to join a team of 17 people 27- 18 they were sending to Towson State University to start a Campus Church there again and, God began to use people in my life to help me grow up. Continued to lead worship with a good group of guys, working full time for the railroad moving guys into our house discipling loving caring for them.
    40 years later having moved seven times for The Kingdom, your music really resonates.
    I think I've memorized and play your music with others too many times to count. And the songs are those that are from the heart and reach the heart.
    Last year at 64 years of age I went to a public park pavilion while my wife was out to eat my sandwich and chips and I brought my Martin with me. I began to play in the echoing Pavilion you are my rescue story to some teenagers who said can you play that thing?
    They were all Stray Cats, living in a different households every week not even out of high school yet. What happened to our society? So anyway, I invited them to the house and made them (6) dinner and we sat and talked about faith in Christ for the next 3 hours.
    I believe their lives were changed forever because of the influence of Christ in my life and the song that I was able to boldly punch out at a moment when I least expected it. "You are my rescue story"
    thank you Jesus.
    Thanks again Kirk and Zach for your influence..
    It is encouraged my soul and others as well as challenged me to present in the public and sing to others and explain the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

      I love his song "Rescue Story" , it was the first song I remember hearing from Zach Williams, it made me take notice to this guy here, I like his music. Rescue Story is still one of my favs, then comes "There was Jesus". Love me some Zach Williams music!!

      Wow Ben! God is so good! There are no coincidences in His kingdom! He drew you to Himself,and you followed His leading.I got Holy Spirit bumps when you shared how you were set free in Christ on the spot where Kunta Kinte had been imprisoned.I watched Roots as a 9 year old child,and it made a huge impact on me.I think that's why I will not tolerate racism of any kind,and why I raised all my children to treat others as the precious children of God that they are.From darkness to light,what a testimony!

He lead worship there that day, and this service was really focused on folks with drug and alcohol and prison backgrounds. He really really ministered to these folks, but it also ministered to me, a simple woman who had been in church my whole life. What a blessing to witness all the folks with radically changed lives! He's the real deal, and I love his music.

When Zack sang “Go Tell It On The Mountain” on the 2020 Christmas Special for The Chosen TV Series, I enjoyed his rendition so much, that I started sharing his music style even more with everyone! Also, I really enjoy all of your interviews, Kirk, and enjoy sharing them with others! I’m so grateful!

Try doing all of that without Him! Oh yeah, we have and we failed miserably which is why we came to Him. My WORST day with God is “to infinity and beyond” better than my BEST day without Him, simply because I am not alone, I have HIM! PRAISE HIS NAME FOREVER!🙏✝️🕊️👏🙋‍♀️❤️‼️

I am part of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills and listened to our Wednesday night service tonight on this platform because I wasn't able to attend. When it ended your program came on. God's plan!

    Zak Williams thank you for speaking g about your struggle as being a christian. I have been a born again 3yrs ago now & I have attacks from Satan & his demons alot. I pray & read the word of truth ( bible) every day. I have listened to preachers n they saying it's easier to be a christian than an atheist/ pagan. But I think differently on that. I have lost all my friends I had, but one friend came back n said he misses me & if I wanna be a christian that's ok with him. So we are best friends again. I can't look back even though sometimes I feel it would be easier to go back to my old ways. I think of Christ & what he did for me/ us all on the cross, so I put my armor of God on & soldier on. Thank you that was encouraging for me. Go bless you & look forward to your new song 🎵 🙏
