Frontman of 3 Doors Down Shares His Faith At Concerts

Brad Arnold, the frontman of 3 Doors Down, recently opened up about sharing his Christian faith onstage, as reported by HollywoodUnlocked.com.

“I don’t really talk a whole lot on stage, to be quite honest,” Arnold said. “But — if I’m going to use a moment on stage to talk, then I want to give glory to God. And I want to take a chance to tell people that Jesus loves them when there may be some people that may not hear it from another place.”

During a recent concert at Hersheypark Stadium, he gave an uplifting message about the love of Jesus, emphasizing that people are enough and can overcome challenges.

“This world surrounds us with a message that we’ll never be good enough, we’ll never be strong enough, we’ll never be beautiful enough, we’ll never be rich enough. Whatever the case may be. Certainly that we’ll never win. Social media surrounds us with those messages all the time. It’s driven down our throats every day, that we’ll never be good enough and that nobody really, really loves us,” Arnold said.

Arnold, who has been sharing similar messages for about a year, has received positive feedback from fans, noting that many are hungry for hope.

“I get so many messages on social media that have all been encouraging. I expected a few people would be like, ‘shut up.’ But none of that. People are hungry for it. It’s a message of hope,” Arnold said.

Arnold acknowledged that while not everyone may be receptive, he sees it as an opportunity to plant seeds. “You see some looks on a few faces in the crowd roll their eyes, you know, like, ‘I don’t want to hear this.’ But, you know, they’re still hearing it,” he said.

As 3 Doors Down concluded their “Summer of ’99” tour with Creed, Arnold introduced a new song titled “Never Look Down,” aimed at encouraging listeners to remain positive during tough times.

“I was an alcoholic for probably 17 years. In January, it’ll be nine years since I’ve had a drink. And I give that completely to God because I know that I couldn’t do it. I tried to quit myself for years and I couldn’t do it. And finally I went to treatment and I gave it to God. And I’m not taking it back. And I didn’t want to hear it when people told me at first, but people planted seeds in my life, and they grew over time,” Arnold said. “I’m not trying to shove religion down their throat or anything like that. I just wanted to simply tell them that Jesus loves them because this world needs it. This world, to a lot of people, is a really, really dark place. And it’s not for all of us, but for a lot of people it is. And to shine a light in darkness is the greatest thing that I feel like that I can do with my platform,” he continued.
