Cornerstone Festival 2009: Sleeping Giant Interview

[jesusfreak777ize]

how can so much awesomeness be in one place?

[Vbbymcr]

i dont understand what they mean by fasting, like is their days that everyone fasts or is it whenever you want?

[freetobeme03]

@Vbbymcr You can fast whenever you want. It's basically giving up something in the natural to draw closer to God. It really works too. Your relationship with God deepens when you set aside food. There are coorporate fasts too, when a group of believers fast together for a cause, like a special service, or for something to change in their city. Jentezen Franklin has a good book out on fasting that can tell you more. I believe Bill Johnson does too.

[TheOvch]

@freetobeme03 In the bible though it does say to fast, and not tell anyone when you do it. It's not about showing other people you can do it, but showing God you love him enough to do it for your relationship with him.

[StormTheEternalGates]

@freetobeme03 fasting can and often does involve more than just food. It can be things that you hold dear to you, like tv or your computer, for example. Any time you set something aside for a determined (or sometimes undetermined) amount of time for the sake of uninterrupted relationship with your creator, that is fasting (in the spiritual sense).

[freetobeme03]

@StormTheEternalGates Yes thanks, I know this, but Vbbymcr asked the question, so you should tell them.

[StormTheEternalGates]

@freetobeme03 "Your relationship with God deepens when you set aside food."

The way you phrased that led me to believe you weren't aware of the breadth of possibility in the act of fasting. In no way did I intend to offend you. I was merely adding to what you had already said.

[freetobeme03]

@StormTheEternalGates No worries, I wasn't offended. But I did mention in my response that it was giving something up in the natural. I guess I was more speaking from my own experiences when I mentioned giving up food to get closer to God. ;)

[hubbadubchub]

Is it just me, or is the interviewer kinda creepy...

[Rawk4Life]

Why would you say that? He's actually Allan Aguerre, former frontman for Christian punk rock band Scaterd Few. He's been doing interviews at Cornerstone for several years since SF broke up.

[MochaManMark]

FASTing tomorrow! After watching this i have decided so. And i really had my heart set on that new $5 Volcano Box at Taco Bell!! :( Oh well, God 1st.. there is always the day after! :D

[thesamsin]

drop dat truth son!!!!!

[Tkoop]

yeah why is the lead singer from fort today in this?

[zao24]

The guy on the right is in For Today, I don't think he's in Sleeping Giant.

[zedramer]

He did dirty vocals for sleeping giant @ tomfest

[Rawk4Life]

But I don't think Mattie did any actual vocals for Sleeping Giant any of their albums. He's been the active lead vocalist for the band For Today since 2007.

[shakshakboom]

He isn't haha, he played with them in a couple of songs though.
