“I was like them for a year [or so]. I felt all this love for a year,” he said, “and then when I was dealing with my stuff, I was trying to tell people ‘You can’t do this!’”
Welched admitted that during that time he “would have told a guy that was in Korn like me as a Christian” that he was “so deceived.”
Welch said that you don’t have to become a “religious weirdo” to be a Christian. You can be “yourself and you may still call me a weirdo because I believe in Jesus, but I could still be me,” he said.
“I don’t have to conform,” Welch added. “I could be me and who God made me to be and be proud of myself and love myself and share my faith journey.”
