In this video I share why BLOODGOOD’s Out of the Darkness has remained one of my all-time favorite Christian metal albums—and how God used it to shake my world in 1989.

This record hit me at a time when I desperately needed bold faith, bold truth, and bold discipleship. The songs, the message, and the passion in this album stirred something deep in my walk with Jesus. Looking back, it was one of those God-appointed moments that helped anchor my life and eventually shape my ministry.

If you grew up on Christian metal… if God ever used a band, a lyric, or a riff to wake up your faith… you’ll connect with this story.

In this video:
How I discovered Out of the Darkness
The impact it had on my spiritual life
Why these songs still matter today
A testimony of how God uses music to build faith

If BLOODGOOD ever encouraged your walk with Jesus, drop a comment—I’d love to hear your story!

About My Music & AI
I use AI as an instrument in my creative process, not as a replacement for artistry. Every song you hear is shaped by my direction: genre, vibe, lyrics, Scripture, and message. AI provides the raw sound, but I make the creative choices to bring it to life. Think of it like producing in a studio — I’m guiding the session. My goal is simple: to create Christ-centered, powerful music that inspires, encourages, and glorifies God.

WHO IS PASTOR BRAD?
First andformoast, I’m follower of Jesus. I'm also a Christian pastor, author, and heavy metal artist. Over the years I’ve been blessed to collaborate with some of my Christian Metal heros like, Les Carlsen (Bloodgood), Ken Tamplin (SHOUT), Richard Lynch & Dee Harrington (SAINT), and more!

MY MISSION:
To encourage the Christian metal community and reach spiritual seekers with the hope of Jesus — through high-energy music and Bible-based content. This channel stands with others like Pastor Bob Beeman and Sanctuary International to support and serve the hard music world for Christ.

✝️ READY TO FOLLOW JESUS?
How To Become A Christian:
#1 BELIEVE: Believe The Gospel, which is summarized beautifully in John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

#2 REPENT: Turn away from sin—a lifestyle of living for self and/or this world. Acknowledge Jesus as Lord and commit to living a life that honors Him. (Acts 3:19)

#3 FAITH: Place your full confidence in Jesus as your Savior—affirming that His sacrificial death on the cross paid your sin debt in full. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

#4 CONFESS: To confess means to "agree with God." Followers of Jesus confess (acknowledge) that: a. All have sinned (Romans 3:23) and need a Savior, and b. Jesus (the Son of God) is our Savior. (Matthew 10:32; Romans 10:9-10)

#5 BE BAPTIZED: In His Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), Jesus calls His disciples to be baptized. This beautiful act of obedience and public profession of faith is a powerful part of beginning your new life in Christ. (Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3-4)

#6 Plug into a fellowship of believers: Join a church family where you can worship, fellowship, serve, and grow in your knowledge of God’s Word and what it means to know and follow Christ. (Acts 2:42)
