ATF 2009 "The Stand" The New Normal Phil*Joel

[besmith3687]

I love his version of this song. Every time I hear it, his voice is in my head.

[sarah1oszter]

@besmith3687 So true!

[besmith3687]

@sarah1oszter I meant to say every time I hear it at church or on the radio Phil's voice is in my head. You probably knew what I meant. lol

[sarah1oszter]

@besmith3687 I know exactly what you meant, I fell the same way about certain songs.

[sarah1oszter]

That is so cool!!! I remeber my first one was in 2007 and Skillet played it was incredible! I wish I could go this year! I hope you can keep going because it's a blast. Thanx 4 the comment, made my night!

~Sarah O.~

[MeTaLcHiCkFoRcHrIsT]

[sarah1oszter]

[MeTaLcHiCkFoRcHrIsT]

haha me too girl! :) but i have been to atf plenty of times and this years was beyond my favorite! :)

[sarah1oszter]

That's aw3some! My fave was in 2007, Skillet was there it was pretty great. Every year they do an awesome job though.

[TearsofaDragon13]

I love Phil Joel!!!!! ATF was the best 2 days of my life! I still have the pass to get in on my my backpack

[sarah1oszter]

Lol he's amazing! I totally still have mine too, on my mirror, I put them there when got home and just never moved them! It was definatly a fun weekend I'm super pumped 4 this year! The promo vid looks soooooo good!!! U should check it out!

~Sarah O.

[JamieRoseA]

Also, I am so happy that God answered your prayer and moved in you!

[sarah1oszter]

Me too!!!

~Sarah O.~

[JamieRoseA]

I love the fact that Phil Joel sang one of my favorite worship songs!

[sarah1oszter]

Was it this one?!?

~Sarah O.~

[bethanys1010]

I went to Nashville ATF. I was probably the oldest one there. I'm 22! God used him to break me! That is not an easy thing to do!

[sarah1oszter]

Lol 22 is so not old! There we're people in they're 60's there (I kid you not I saw a few!). And that second thing you wrote is amazing so thanx for that! It's amazing how God uses people sometimes! Have a good one and keep the faith!

~Sarah O.~

[bethanys1010]

I meant I was probably the oldest youth age wise. lol

[sarah1oszter]

Ohhhh lol got ya... I can be a bit slow sometimes.

~Sarah O.~

[darnhhotlovesjason]

this song was AMAZING!

[sarah1oszter]

Thanx 4 watching it! I'm glade u liked it as much as I did!!!

~Sarah O.~

[zmanharmon]

Hey I was there! Phil Joel was amazing!

[sarah1oszter]

I was there to lol and I totally agree! Thanks for the comment!

~Sarah O.~

[linkinparkskate]

Ahh i miss Phil Joel, My idol. Oh man i remember the first time i saw the newsboys like 9 years ago. Phil Joel was my FAVORITE and still it. Its to bad he parted way with newsboys, but hes till got it goin on. :)

[sarah1oszter]

Lol Newsboys! They're so old school! Lovin' it! I remeber listen to them in the car when I was like 7, it was like simpiler (if that's a word) times. I heard a song from them (Let it Rain) a little while ago and it brought me back! Thanx for the comment!

~Sarah O.~

[kgraced1]

this song is sung by Hillsong. I was at ATF Pittsburgh last weekend and it was an incredible experience!!!! I got to see Nick Vujicic speak, and he was amazing!!!! ( he has no arms and no legs and he's always smiling!!! and soooo soooo happy!!!) I got to meet so many new and inspiring people!!!! If you ever have a chance to go you should!!!

[sarah1oszter]

Yea Hillsong does this one along with tons more but at ATF Phil led the worshp. Oh and thanx for telling about your experience! That is incredible! Good for him to keep on fighting and not just quit! It's a good lesson for us. Thanx for the comment and I hope God continues to work in your life!

~Sarah O.~

[brietbeezy]

i went this year in the seattle area and it was awesome & life changing :)

[Bostonsox1995]

I just got back from ATF Pittsburgh yesterday. It was an amazing experience! Phil Joel is AMAZING!!!!!

[sarah1oszter]

That's aw3some and Phil is incredible!!! He's so nice to!

~Sarah O.~

[ADHDSuperHeroStudios]

I went to the one in redmond washington just the other day i got back and it really was a an enlightening experience i feel much stronger in my faith and joel johnson was a great part of that.

[sarah1oszter]

That's aw3some and you're right it really is a faith booster/ re-energizer at least in my opinion! It helps to strengthen what you've got too so hold on to it now that your back in the real world and not in that Christian setting 24/7 (everyone around you praising Jesus type of a setting)!!! Thanx 4 the comment!

~Sarah O.~

[brietbeezy]

i was there too! i loved kutless and phil joel!

[sarah1oszter]

Kutless is the bomb! I love that band! Skillet and Kutless are my fave Cristian bands! Glade you had fun in Seatle thanx for the comments!

~Sarah O.~

[yaoiluvr3]

Ah, yes this was really a touching song, loved hearing him in Portland!!

hes my new fav <3

[sarah1oszter]

Artist have that effect on me too! I hear them, I fall in love lol! That's how Skillet became my fav Christian band!!!

~Sarah O.~

[bethanys1010]

I like Skillet too. I especially love how Christian hard rock bands use classical instruments in some of their stuff. The first time I saw them live I saw Ben pull out the violin and the other person with the cello I thought I had officially died and gone to Heaven! Hahaha I think they use it for Comatose, but I don't know what other songs

[sarah1oszter]

I love that! It's so cool! They really make it work! Skillet's my favourite Christian band along with Kutless and a coupple others but they're the main ones! Their music just like speaks to my soul lol!

~Sarah O.~

[bethanys1010]

I was replying to Sarahs comment about Skillet. Sorry I have been having trouble with YouTube posting reply comments right.

[sarah1oszter]

I hate that! YouTube doesn't even post my coments sometimes!!!!!

~Sarah O.~

[subwayeatfresh45]

i just got back from ATF in portland oregon and this was so life changing for me and phil helped with this song.

I LOVE YOU JESUS<3<3:):):):):)

[sarah1oszter]

It looks like a couple of you guys went to Portland lol!!! That's so great that you had such an awesome time!!! Keep the faith alive and hold onto that change when the world fights to change you back because the world has nothing to offer Christians!!!

~Sarah O.~

[subwayeatfresh45]

@sarah1oszter Hi I know its been 11 months, but Im going back to ATF in seattle and I can hardly wait.

[sarah1oszter]

@subwayeatfresh45 Lol ATF never gets old! I wanted to go so bad this year (much like every year) but it just wasn't a possibility. Next year I'm going to get the youth going from our church though and it'll be bomb! I hope you have fun and P.S thanx for subing made my day!

[GracieMoore]

WOOT! I went to Aquire The Fire 2009 too! Awesome bands(including this one)! Great speakers!

Jesus ROCKS!!! XD

[sarah1oszter]

Agreed! In my personal opinion the best thing about ATF is the bands!!! For me, it's how I connect with God and how I can pray. The speakers help but the music *dramatic pause* the music's where it's at!!! Glade you had fun!!!

~Sarah O.~

[jacobrstudent]

Very cool Sarah O. I went to the one in sacramento and Phil Joel was absalutly amazing.

I also liked always. have a good one to you to. And god bless

[sarah1oszter]

I love Phil, he is amazing!!! He's so nice to!!! I hope you had a good time in Saramento and Always? The song? I Love that song!!! Hillsong rox!!! Or is that a band?!? Thanx 4 the blessings and same to u!!!

[JesusDude47]

This is an amazing song, and I was there too, my point of view of how I could see would be about where ur zoom is, so ur zoom is about where I was, :P, no joke, haha, prob above my head haha, such an amazing weekend, and I totally was just blasted by Jesus tht weekend, haha, He's been keeping it going too, haha God Bless :P

[sarah1oszter]

Lol that's AWESOME!!! That's good that God didn't stop that weekend and you still keep him alive in your life every day! Most people forget that he's not just at some grand event with awesome bands! He's everywhere!!! Here's to keepin' him alive lol!!!

Cheers!

[reentheincreadible]

im glad that God spoke to u! :]

[sarah1oszter]

I'm so happy to hear that you got to meet him to (If you read the discription you can read about how I met Phil)!!! He is just incredible! It's awesome that God spoke to you! I personally think that, that's the most important part of ATF. I think that's ATFs' goal; to bring people closer to God. For me the music definatly did that for me!!! Oh and thank-you so so much for subscribing!!!! I LOVE SUBSCIBERS! (but not in a creepy way lol). Anyways I hope you have a great night!!!

~Sarah O.~

[bassist4dalord]

Was this at The Palace of Auburn Hills per chance? Cause I was there and it was SOO great!! Phil Joel inspired me to play bass guitar like 4 years ago when I saw him with the Newsboys at ATF. Such a great experience!!

[sarah1oszter]

God Bless!!

[sarah1oszter]

That's awesome! Miami=no snow :-)

You're right it's an awesome thing to see all these teens in one place following God but my hope is that when they return to their everyday lives they don't forget what they've learned at ATF and that they stay strong in their faith when the ways of the world try to get them down and also that they try and reach out to others that need it!!! Thanx 4 commenting!!!
