This is our anthem

Four years ago I was at a friend's cousins house for a week, in his cockyness he was showing us all his fancy stero system and playing the 'newest' songs.

And that was the first time I ever heard "Jesus Freak" by DC Talk.

DC Talk broke up soon after that, and I never really sought any more of their music, but I think it would be very accurate to say that "Jesus Freak" was the first contemporay Christian rock song I had ever heard...and liked.

It was my first introduction to a type of music that could sing about God, but not seem like wusses, who could apply today's world in the music, and still be true to their faith.

Last night at Winter Jam, a giant Christian Venue, Toby Mac *An old member of DC Talk* sang the chorus to that song.

Now, the cool thing about Winter Jam for me, *Other then getting my jacket signed my Hawk Nelson* was sitting in the 'cheap seats'

Whats cool about the cheap seats you ask? Well, a lot of things.

First of all, I had seen all these bands before, recently in fact, so standing out in front would be awesome, but unnecessary.

Second of all, they didn't have a back to the stage area, so you we're able to watch the bands set up and walk around backstage, and watch the band who was performing onstage, meaning you got to see them longer and closer up then the people out in front anyway.

Thirdly, it was absolutly awesome to watch the people being effected by what was going on around them. From where we we're at it was possible to see the Newsboys do their thing and the crowd reacte to it.

Some incredible stuff happened that night.

When the Jesus freaks get together and sit in the cheap seats.
