Clearly in the first part of the interview, Jon Foreman defines music as a device for getting viewpoints across barriers (such as religious ones). And lo and behold, Christian ideas can be found laced into the lyrics of Switchfoot songs.
Jon also talks about music waking people up, and by that, he means to wake them up to the truth of God. Being put in the genre of "Christian music" would alienate them from the people they are trying to reach
Switchfoot is not a CHRISTIAN band!!!!!!!!! for godness sake makes me wonder how much pl really know them! i mean im insane about them mayebthats why i know Jon Foreman has said 474747 ttimes over and over they are not a Christian band nd they shouldnt be LABELED it exludes ppl that way they are indivudually in a religous point of view chrsititan but NOT a band thats christians
you are right, they are not a christian band. Jon told that like a hundred of times, but their faith (not in a religious point of view) is the christian.
i never said that their faith wasnt chrisitian i wasn't talking about them INDIVIDUALLY in which ofcourse they are christian i was talkign about the band and also " openly play christian music" their not hiding their faith Jon Foreman himself usually explains where the inspirtation from the songs come from i was just explaing that they are not a christian band but hec they do have LOADS! of christian context in their music taken from the bible sometimes even
its cool that malaysia asked a christians (band of christians?) to play. jerome used to be an heavy industrial band called mortal like 15 years back. good band
