“I know the music’s crazy, but mainly the lyrics are about pain, you know, and they come from a real and raw place,” Welch shared during an “I Am Second” interview. “People need hope. There’s addictions like crazy in that world. There’s depression. There’s been a lot of suicide stories happening. What better place to be, having the meaning of life that I carry.”
John Cooper, frontman for Skillet, a band that toured with Welch and Korn in 2017, told ChurchLeaders, “Brian’s testimony is an absolute miracle! He has been a shining light in a dark world, loving everyone he comes in contact with, and he has never been ashamed of Christ.”
Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix told Welch that his “walk with Christ continues to inspire me and countless others. Love ya brotha.”
One fan replied to Welch, “Even though I’m an atheist, that’s a truly beautiful and touching story. Happy spiritual birthday.”
