Guy Kawasaki asks Penelope Trunk 10 Questions on career guidance for this century!

It doesn’t make me happy to say that. And yes, I do consider myself a Christian, even though in todays culture that word carries a lot of negative connotation with it. And any long time viewers of this blog will know that I am a music lover, from all genres. There’s currently over 4,000 songs on my iPod; some rock, punk, country, rap, blues, jazz and everything else.

Just about all music genres will have ’some’ good artist. Christian music is no exception, there ARE talented musicians within the Christian music genre; Shawn McDonald is one of the most played artist on my iPod and Mat Kearney is also way talented. But, the problem with 99% of Christian music is - I’m not buying it. Do these people really know what it means to follow Jesus? It’s not happy go lucky. In fact, anyone that has taken even a brief look at the Bible will conclude that people who follow Jesus do not end up with their life on easy street with all their problems solved. Most of the people that followed Jesus were ridiculed, martyred, imprisoned, or exiled.

So Christian musicians need to get real.
