I didn't learn until today about all of the sexual grooming/abuse/assault allegations coming out against Michael Tait all this year. ("Allegations" seems like an understatement, but I guess that's the legal term since he hasn't been charged and convicted. Yet.)
Lots of feelings. He was one of my biggest idols as a teenager. But right now I've just gotta say: no wonder he's a Trump supporter. (For which I'd already gone off him, but this is… flattening.)

"Newsboys and DC Talk were held up by me, and so many Christians, as something to aspire to.

... The whole time - Michael Tait couldn’t have been a worse role model, or a more confused guide. To think, young Christians like me were scared of Nine Inch Nails and Ozzy Osbourne the whole time. We should have been more worried about some of the artists we'd see praising the name of Jesus on stage at Parachute."

I can't hardly even tell what this kind of music is, all I know is I love it. Definitely has a lot of rap in it.

Had a buddy send a DC Talk album in a group text and now today is DC Talk Friday. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
