Can Christians rock? What does head-banging, guitar smashing, shouting and fan-following have to do with Christian music? If you were to ask John Cooper, lead singer for the Christian Rock band Skillet he might say it had everything to do with it. Known for all out shows and no-holds-barred lyrics, Skillet is a Christian rock band that connects with listeners who may have gone through hard times with things like abuse, suicide, broken relationships among other lyrical topics. Skillet uses lyrics and story telling within their music to connect with people who may otherwise turn away from all things Christian Music. You can take one look at their official website and need no further evidence that Skillet is not a stereotypical Christian musical group. You can visit their site here: http://www.skillet.com/ Music at Church can convey stories of shared hurt that can bring people together for healing in community based on mutual understanding.
