  • I am an atheist and a Taoist. The thing in my mind is that when I use the term Jesus Freak personally it refers to a specific type of person. I know some very cool Christians, I also know cool Islamists, Buddhists, Jews and alot of other types. Jesus freaks are the people who follow their "belief" blindly without ever questioning it. People who let other people determine their beliefs and so on. If a person does not question their faith then it is not faith.

  • @BlackSunUnlimited you have a point with your last sentance but not all Jesus freaks blindly follow christianity

  • @kcbowers9 I sometimes use the term Jesus Krispie, would that work better? Besides that it sounds more cartoonish and not so bludgeoning.

  • @BlackSunUnlimited once again not all jesus freaks are bible thumping conservative. i am a jesus freak who supports same sex rights.

  • @kcbowers9 Never said you were, I was talking kind of tongue in cheek. Honestly I dont have any issues with anyone unless they make things personal with me. I learned long ago that you cant categorize everyone into groups. Took me 40 years but I think I figured out most of it.

  • @BlackSunUnlimited Just pointing out that you were making a claim based on your personal, assumed meaning of a Jesus Freak BlackSun. To me at least, Jesus Freak refers to one who has found the Christian Faith to be the one and only truth in the world and is overwhelmed with excitement and joy at the discovery. I would not, however, venture so far as to say that Christianity is a "belief" nor that I have blindly, without question, followed it. I question it every day, as did Job.

  • This song came out in '94 and is still making an impact, unlike other songs that came out that year. That speaks volumes.

  • I'm afraid to answer my door, because it could be a Jesus freak. These folks aren't normal church goers. It's not even about religion and that they love the Lord. They usually have mental issues. And the whole praise God all the damn time is a cover up. And usually these can be some of the most unholiest people far as their actions would say.

  • I find it quite disappointing when Christians label themselves as "freaks". Don't you understand that that word carries a negative light? Why make something beautiful and positive out to be the opposite?????????? I am a Jesus disciple, not a "freak".... that's my two cents.

  • Don't get too caught up in words, that's the point. As for me, I'm not satisfied just being a follower of Christ, or a believer....these words are tame compared the changes being worked in my life through my faith. I've become more of a warrior in faith, a soldier for God and yes, a freak for Jesus.

  • @jtjesuslover Actually, freak isn't always negative. Yes, we're disciples, but we're also freaks for Jesus. Like, obsessive, all about God. And I like it, because most people get freaked out about Jesus now'adays. That's why the big revival is gonna be EPIC! >:D

  • Why are there always a mess of atheists starting a religious flame war on Christian songs? How did you even get here? Why are you listening to Christian music if you are against God?

  • This is my theme song. anyone else? :)

  • @742JesusFreak yea man this is mine too. there is no hiding the one truth!

  • OMG! Forefront was w/dc Talk?! DID NOT KNOW THAT!

  • at my school im labled as a jesus freak so what im proud to be one

  • @Mistyloverocklee...AMEN !!!! Have a Blessed day 0:)

    

  • tobymac look's so wierd back then and tait look's the same and no one ever hear's about kevin max i miss dc talk!!!!!!!!!

  • @SUPERchickfanful Kevin Max has been BUSY. :) He's working on some new music, 'Fifedom of Angels - Side One', check it out on his FB page

  • @DisseverTheTyrant Exactly, that's why I read Richard Dawkins.

  • God is all powerful, but he can't give his bands an original sound.

  • I remember driving in our family van with all my kids listening to this song, n they were singing it saying their Jesus Freaks...that's when they loved the LORD n wasn’t ashamed to say it! One has come back to you Lord help the rest that has turned away from you? I pray that one day the rest seek you with their hearts n love you again. In Jesus Mighty Name...Amen 0:) Forgive my children. I will keep praying for them LORD...........

    What would you do if people labeled you a JESUS FREAK?

  • @servingod51 If they labeled me a Jesus Freak I'd be like, "Yeah, so what? Got a problem with it?"

  • Haven't heard this since I was like 8 XD

  • Amen!!!

    

  • this song really spoke to me i hope it spoke to you

  • I'm a Jesus freak and not afraid to say it!!!

  • Thumbs up if your best friend was born in a manger! (I'm giving me a thumbs up :D)

  • this song will never get old:)

  • @whosays1313 AMEN

  • Whenever I am stressed or worried, and I listen to this song I feel better. God rocks!!!!!!

  • 40 people thought the smudge on the like bar was a download button

  • Thumbs up if you know your books of the bible type them if possible!:)

  • The ending is amazing.

  • love this song

  • Holy shit, I love this song!

  • im not particularly religious. and im not normally a fan of christian rock...normally. i love this song.

  • the newsboys cover is better

  • New Generation is doomed.

  • Cross on fire at 1:38 ? really?????

  • @ooDANlELoo they are showing examples of hatred and persecution in the background, perfectly in line with their message: Christ's followers are hated and persecuted. I have experienced it myself ;)

  • @n8ssavedbygrace

    Christ followers have the most power in the world. Christianity is the largest religion in the world. Christians have put in prison and executed atheists, Muslims, pagans, etc. for the past 2000 years -- not only are you not persecuted, you're not nearly hated as much as you should be given your religions violent track record.

  • @garveya1 lol........Are you talking about Roman Catholics?

  • @n8ssavedbygrace

    There is nothing funny about this. You claim persecution, yet your people are the majority, and the majority that holds power. You claimed the followers of Christ will be hated, but why would you expect anything less after your religion is responsible for horrific atrocities?

    Roman catholic or protestant you are all 'followers of Christ' -- and you both have committed atrocities and have the blood of non-believers on your hands.

  • @garveya1 While I admit that many atrocities have been committed by Christians that does not mean those acts were condoned by all Christians just as the activities of radical Muslims are not condoned by all Muslims. Any religion or belief in general can be twisted to serve immoral purposes. Also thousands of people who are Christians are being persecuted in various countries around the world for their beliefs. In fact 53 countries have made it illegal to advocate or even believe in Christianity.

  • @MyBrainsOnVacation

    Well then all sorts of people are persecuted. I don't know which 53 countries you're talking about but they are most likely Islamic states or communist ones and I'm sure it's just as illegal to be atheist (minus the communist ones), Jewish, or any other religion which isn't Islam.

    If you're from a developed country though, especially the United States, you're not persecuted in the least.

  • @garveya1 So, you weren't persecuting me in any way, shape, or form?

  • @garveya1 what is funny is that you are somehow saying I, as a Christian, am responsible for what others have done or will do. That is humorous. I have no blood on my hands except for the blood of Christ. God bless.

  • @n8ssavedbygrace

    The blood is really on the hands of your religion, you indirectly validate that by validating the religion.

    May god be less.

  • @garveya1 What god? Whom do you serve?

  • @n8ssavedbygrace

    The character god.

  • @n8ssavedbygrace I serve the only God. Not some horse or statue whatever other people worship lol. I serve the one and only God. :)

  • @n8ssavedbygrace I serve the most powerful being in the universe. Shaq.

  • @Cenamark2 lol

  • These guys don't look to happy to be "Jesus freaks"... not one single smile from any of them throughout the entire video... they appear to be quite unhappy, quite unhappy indeed.

  • @mommamaggi i don't think it's supposed to be a happy song. if you listen to the lyrics and watch the video it kind of doesn't sound like they were trying to make it a happy song...

  • Why doesn't this have at least a million views?

  • @YoungGun66 Cause no one really likes preachy christian "rock"! The rest of the world doesn't like anything that basically preaches at them. Just saying.

  • Comment removed

  • I made this song my ring tone now all my friends call me a Jesus freak... WHO CARES THATS THE TRUTH!!!!1 THUMBS UP IF UR A JESUS FREAK!

  • @IhavetheHolyGhost Amen! The more strength you show, the more you are witnessing to those of your friends.

  • @IhavetheHolyGhost You Jesus freaks are the reason I stopped going to church.

  • The black guy is now the lead singer of Newsboys, And DC talk is now Toby Mac, Toby changed the name.

  • None of them are playing an instrument...

    Ha! Thats why they died cause in a sense, they were talentless and basically the backstreet boys of the early christian music industry.

    This song was all the rave, I remember.

    Newsboys anyone?

  • @MrAdamnationZ

    they played instruments but it just doesnt show them playing them in the music video..

    lmao.. Green Day has a music video where theyre not playing the instruments in the video but they still play instruments..

  • They are such a good band, in some ways I am not happy that they disbanded, but in others I am glad. It is strange, I love these guys voices, but if DC Talk didn't disband Michael Tait wouldn't be with Newsboys right now and I like Newsboys music a lot more with Michael Tait as the lead singer. It would be cool if they had a concert where Toby Mac and Newsboys did DC Talk songs the whole night...now that would be AWESOME!!!!

  • love it!!!!!!!!!

  • i luv this song it is awesome!:)

  • Arguably the best song by dc Talk!!

  • love it

  • I met these guys in a restaurant in Franklin, TN. They were really nice. I wish they'd give me a little more credit and a little less on my Son, but whatever. I love you. Sincerely, Mr.GodTheFather

  • @MrGodTheFather oh guess what? there is enough evidence that Father=Son and vice versa.

  • Here is a fantastic music video that the Christian world will love! It's called "Don't forget about the walk." It was written and created by a small town pastor that is also making a feature film and has written four books. You don't want to miss it! You can go to his website by going to alanmakimusicDOTcom and seeing his music video on the media tab or search for Alan Maki on youtube or Godtube. It would only take a second to look. Show some support! He has wonderful devotionals and an app too!

  • Just from looking at the comments all I can say is wow. But anyway great video and great song.

  • i onistle like it is insane

  • your messages are clouded by worldly distractions dc talk is really appreciated when you have felt and experienced the love of Jesus Christ.... Im voicing my thought because i know that Jesus works in my life and i see and feel it everyday.... i hope one day i will meet you all in heaven..... opinions aside one thing is for sure, one day every knee will bow

  • @tokesgreens Do you honestly believe that DC Talk is an occult band? If Tobymac, Michael Tait, and Kevin Max aren't christian artist's then who is? In my opinion these are stand up guys who are solid Christians. If they aren't saved then who is?

  • @tokesgreens I see what you mean, but I think some of these artist use occult or occult-like sybmols, thinking they're fads (which is a stupid thing to do, really). And if you were right about this (I'm not saying you're wrong, I just like to anyalize the possiblities), then what do you think would be purpose the Devil is setting out to do with this band?

    Although, I have to say, that I SERIOUSLY doubt that Taylor Swift has anything to do with the devil. although I don't know her, I can guess.

  • @tokesgreens So...I've read and analyzed your comment. I see where you're comming from, but I doubt that a satanic band will sing songs about how much they love Jesus and how He saved them....

  • If you want to see a new version of this search Jesus Freak Newsboys with Tobymac and pick the one on the top. (note these people were in dc talk)

  • "what would people do when they find out it's true?"

    they wont do jack cause they gotta get through Jesus first.

  • a very great music video!!!!!!!!!1

  • @SkunkyAngry @KingYaba That's because these guys were HUGE in the 90's. They disbanded late 90's early 2000's

  • @nas1800 I think what KingYaba said is because he is aware of when it came out and listened to it at the time; thus, reminding him of the 90s.

  • Im a jesus freak! thts wat my frand and i do at church all the time!

  • i wish they would do this song again together.

  • Reminds me of the 90s...

  • Huh. This actually isn't that bad of a song. A little too 90's sounding for me but it's a lot better than I expected.

  • Best song ever !

  • I love this song

  • Jesus used two homeless men in San Francisco to tell me a message..... that He loves me. I was floored !!!! More than coincidence.

  • @rubybaybee AMEN He LOVES US ALL So Never DOUBT HIM!

  • @rubybaybee that is awesome put up a video testimony

  • @spud2ooo Oh no, I could never put up a video, but I will tell you what happened if you are interested.

  • Best song ever, after I can Only Imagine.

  • I was not a Christian until I found God. I will never doubt my decision. How about you?

  • the good ole days...i wish dc talk would get back together...they were much better together than they are apart doing solo projects even though the solo projects are pretty good.

  • I am a jesus freak!

  • 10 years ago, as a Christian, I loved these guys. Now, as an atheist, I STILL like the music. Hey, I can't deny it; they had a great sound and Kevin can sing. The message is bunk, but I sill like the music.

  • @FreeFromChrist What happened?

  • @christforchina Nothing bad. I basically just learned too much. I studied a lot of science, read the bible (all of it), learned about other religions, learned about the history of the bible and Christianity, found it didn't actually hold water and came away realizing I didn't believe any of it anymore. Never got mad at god or hated him, simply stopped believing.

    I also don't hate Christians and I didn't come here to argue. Just giving credit to a group of guys that I think made good music.

  • @FreeFromChrist understand about you not intending to make an argument. Some people go on christian videos for the sole purpose of starting fights. I've seen many things that have helped me in my faith in God. I've studied evolution on my own time and I've found many loopholes..but looking into more science and other things I just see the beauty of God's creation. If earth was a bit off it's axis, or if we didn't have volcanos, or if we were a bit to the left of where we are now, (no room)

  • @christforchina I'm not sure why your comments aren't showing up, but I got an email telling me about a comment that I don't see here anywhere. At any rate, I was serious about not looking for an argument. Believe what you like; I don't feel compelled to attempt to take anything away from you that makes you happy so long as you aren't shoving it down anyone's throat, and I don't feel like you've done that yet.

  • @FreeFromChrist There was one comment (I couldn't find the others so I assumed that I forgot to hit post :D) that I deleted 'cause it was basically a duplicate. It's hard for people to shove things down my throat..But anyways, thanks.

  • @FreeFromChrist All u gotta do is seek Him. If you truly want to know if Jesus is real, all u gotta do is seek Him. It's worth it. He will most definately prove Himself, if you seek Him with all your heart. Don't be determined in unbelief, open back up your heart and seek Him please.

  • @christforchina We wouldn't be able to survive,

  • im a jesus freak.....and im not afraid scream it out loud. and all of you ppl out there who doesnt bleive in God you are going down the wrong road and should trun back and let the jesus show you the way.But those who keep goin. Ask your self this what are you going say to God when you stand before him and know your going to hell for the rest of enturnity. i want you to think about that.

  • to all the non believers out there, as the scientist Blaise Pascal said in one of his famous quotes on the evolution/creation debate, if you (evolutionists) are right, then when we die nothing happens, but if Im right (creation) then you guys are in bad shape and go to hell, now which would u rather believe now?

  • @TheUnbrokenDreamer Hey it's cool... Use it as an opportunity to speak to them about Christ. Remember as time draws to a close, this type of thing will only increase, we must all prepare ourselves to serve Jesus and die for Him if need be.

  • shit! i didnt realize jesus was so cool, now im totally into him!!! and i'll be persecuted for it...oh wait, that'll prob happen if i'm a real minority...(eg - an atheist or gay)...and here comes the flak...wait for it...wait for it...lol

  • Thumbs up if your best friend was born in a manger!

  • I love this group. I grew up listening to them. God is love and more amazing than we could ever imagine.

  • Wow! this song brings back memories!!!

  • amen

  • Amen!!!!!!

  • awesome

    

  • yahshua

  • GOOD SONG--I'M PROUD TO BE A JESUS FREAK--it's the best kind of freak.

    +

    Please look at this NEW song entitled--GOD IS GOOD EVEN IF

    Just Enter: mark behrens (in the search field)--THANKS.

  • 28 people need to be prayed for.

  • Everytime I hear this song, I just wanna run out to the street and start preaching!

  • why does 4:17 look sooo gay!

  • don't care if my best friend is born in a manger

  • i love this song

  • 28 people really need Jesus

  • @garveya1 - what made you a "Christian"? Because being born into a Christian home and even going to church doesn't make you a true Christian - a true Christian is someone who accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior and accepts BY FAITH that we were saved BY GRACE. As Martin Luther (not King) said "Reason is the enemy of faith". Christianity isn't about religion - it's about a relationship with Christ. If you had ever had one, I doubt you'd be making these statements now.

  • @gingerlyspiced

    Martin Luther is a heretic, the guy was an unrepentant murderer at heart. He added words to the Scriptures(faith "alone" is not in Scripture, it's a lie) and was his cry was "Sola Scriptura" but he wrote huge commentaries at the beginnings of different books of the Bible and tried to turn people away from teachings in the Scripture that clearly contradicted him. Reason is not an enemy of faith either.

    As for everything else, great statement.

  • @gingerlyspiced love your statement nicely put

  • @gingerlyspiced so true, well said.

  • @gingerlyspiced I agree

  • @drastic254 ... Maybe they're not looking for attention. Maybe they're looking for answers. And, in your response, the love of Christ was hidden from them by your judgemental words and apparently cold heart. When will you start to see people through Jesus' eyes and not your own?

  • love JC is the best that ever happened 2 us

  • any one know where the lyrics are for this vid? cant find them anywhere

  • But you all are just too numb and confortable as I was

  • Jesus revealed Himself to me, all you "christians" on here arguing and reasoning with atheists stand on nothing but words and in the end despair. Yes, you literally have to have an encounter with Him, and not lead a christian walk OF HALF-HEARTED DESPERATION. until you are ready to break and die and give it all up, and then you seek Him. You will not find Him.

    "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13

  • Jesus Saved my life, I am a proud Jesus freak!

  • i don't understand the trinity. It doesn't seem right. just putting that out there

  • I will always happily admit that I am a Jesus freak.....no regrets here :)

  • Miss this group. Toby and Tait still perform this song with their respective bands. The combination of the 3 styles, personalities and timbre of their voices is what made dcTalk a unique band. The mix of rap, rock and soul has been often imitated but never duplicated like this.

  • Awesome!

  • Dare to follow, Dare to be Different, Dare to stand tall in what you believe in. I would die for Chirist in a heartbeat.

  • god teaches tolerance so ill just say i will pray for you all!

    God Bless!!

  • God is love! Jesus freak for Life!!!!!!

  • I love this song what is practically means is that don`t be ashamed of loving the lord......

  • I've always had a crush on the singer blonde guy... since i was like 12 yrs old (28 now) LOL ♥ Thanks for posting!

  • THIS IS THE ANTHEM!!!

  • Thank you so much for the upload!!

  • @Cmay68 Hell yeah! Same here, except I realized what B.S. Christianity was at like 10. People call me crazy and ask about what science has YET to prove, but at least science has already proves soooo much, whereas the bible hasn't proved anything, or has any solid evidence of what it teaches.

  • wow this brings back memories from my two bit evangelist grade school days...eek

  • @streakjet5 I'm not being closeminded if I was already a christian and denounced it due to the absolute ridiculousness of it all. Yes, Noah gathered up two of EVERY single animal on earth and put them on a boat for over a month. There are over 40,000 species of land dwelling animals on earth (and double that number in insects) which would equal over 200,000 animals all together.. Sounds pretty realistic.

  • @Cmay68 Secondly, this completely disregards habitat/ecosystem based needs of most, if not all of them. Remember, carnivores eat other animals? What happened to all of the plants? ..ad nauseum. I truly feel sorry for anyone who has been systematically brainwashed into believing fairytale as truth. God is Santa Claus for adults. He knows when you've been sleeping, knows when you're awake, knows when you've been bad or good... so be good for goodness sake!

  • @Cmay68 It has been mathematically calculated that a "kind" of every animal (not every "species", since natural selection would take care of providing a variety of species) would be able to fit on the ark, with room to spare. Babies of larger animals could be taken on to save room and some of the animals were possibly in hibernation, reducing food intake.

  • @streakjet5 So what exactly is a "kind" of animal? That is ridiculous, and an excuse. In addition you are acting as a proponent of Macroevolution (something widely considered in the scientific community to take millions of years), and applying it to an event that allegedly happened several thousand years ago. Carnivores eat other animals, and generally do not hibernate. Your argument is tenuous at best, and at least extremely desperate, off-point, and non-factual.

  • newsboys kinda ruined this song... but this is the wierdest music video EVER!!!

  • you know, all of Christs messages were controversial to his peers.... Makes me wonder.

  • this song so discribes the way i feel as a radical believer in a sociaty full of opposition

    to any faith let alone radica faith

  • Seems very angry!

    

  • Well, JESUS FREAK is the kind of freak I am proud to be.  Good song!

  • @cb4ujudge well, im proud to be any kinda freak (besides like, a wicca/witchcraft/satanist/ freak, duh) but im MOST proud to be a Jesus Freak baby!!! lol

  • Every time i see this video i cry a little bit. It makes me think of what Jesus went through on the cross to do for us. Just like the song says people say I'm strange does it make me a stranger my best friend was born in a manger. AMEN!!!!!! thumbs up if u agree!

  • we aint nothing but a bunch of jesus freaks

  • not at all what i expected! love this song but this video could be mistaken for a Nirvana video

  • Good, but I think newsboys version is better

  • LOVE THIS!

  • without the world jesus and god would be history

  • Love it Love it....What other way IS there to live? idk. LoLv.

  • @Aimagination96 I dislike when ppl get into fights over a youtube video, but I thought you should know that I am Catholic and I love listening to Audio Adrenaline, Skillet, tobyMac, Newsboys, ect... Not all Catholics are like your relatives. I am sorry your experience with our denomination isn't a good one. But it shouldn't matter if a person is Catholic or not, as long as they are a JESUS FREAK! true? :)

  • @488kristen The Catholic Father here in town is one of THE biggest Jesus Freaks i know. He's awesome!
