Dave Matthews & Christianity
I thought this was an interesting read:
Matthews’ spiritual searching apparently became a little more focused after the album’s recording. A fall 2003 episode of VH-1’s Top Twenty Video Countdown replayed footage of the artist on location while filming the video for “Gravedigger” at a church. It so happened that a youth retreat was being held there during the shoot. The kids, obviously thrilled to meet the superstar, excitedly asked him if he had gone through any recent faith changes. Matthews affirmed that he had been through “a lot of faith changes,” but also added that he had been “washed by the blood of the lamb—that’s where it starts.” When asked if he would pray with them, he declined saying that he preferred private prayer to community prayer, but then encouraged them to pray for him on their own. We shall indeed, as Dave Matthews continues to wrestle with the greater questions of life.
