Seven77 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) I'm sure many of you were disturbed to learn that about a year ago, Matisyahu shed his beard and distanced himself from Orthodox, Hasidic, Judaism and essentially switched from dancehall reggae to pop music. I really can't get over it-- I don't think I ever will. We had someone in the secular mainstream industry who appealed to a wide audience while remaining true to his faith in God. His authentic religious ferver was inspiring. Is there anyone like him out there today? It hurts to witness "selling out." I listen to his deeply spiritual music and wonder--"what happened to *that guy*? Thoughts? Prayers? Matisyahu and his family definitely need our prayers.

PhuturePriest Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Sellouts. Matt Maher is not a sellout. I was giving his name as a point of reference for those who haven't sold out. I don't know enough about the Newsboys to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dUSt Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Sometimes, one's faith must be shook--and then the storm settles, and they are led to the fullness of truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winchester Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I can't believe you called the dude 'revolting'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Maybe he started learning the truth about Catholicism and it shook his faith, so he's revolting right now but will eventually be led to the truth. Your optimism is inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
