Rojas acknowledged the tension of seeing his wife criticized but said the bigger picture is ministry. “It’s bigger than us. It’s bigger than our feelings and our pride,” he said, explaining that even difficult situations can present opportunities to reach people who might otherwise never hear the gospel.

He also warned that rejecting artists based on appearance or style can have real consequences. “You’re not just ruining a concert for somebody. Like this might be somebody’s chance at eternity and salvation,” Rojas said.

Both artists stressed that while not every church has responded this way, the issue highlights a broader need for understanding within the church. Magdalene Rose said the goal of her post was ultimately to start a conversation. “It was time to just finally shed some light there and open the conversation up,” she said.
