Because I'm kind of bored...and DH is working tonight so we can go out of town and he can miss Monday evening...and because I felt like posting something light-hearted and not ministry-related:
Who is your favorite "secular" musician? If, indeed, you do listen to music that's not specifically praise & worship or CCM...
For me, besides DH's and my plethora of Broadway musicals, my current favorite is Josh Groban. If I'm going to listen to nonChristian music, I tend to gravitate toward "easy listening."

If indeed? Yes indeed! It's one of the things I just get scared to death the district office is going to find out... Ha ha! Well, actually I gave some of the district officials Kenny G. CD's for Christmas last year...
Anyway, there are a ton of artists I listen to. Quite truthfully, my radio is set to country most of the time and my favorite artists are among those...I would say my fav right now is Sugarland. I love them!
Other than country, I love jazz, disco, stuff from the 80's (when I graduated) and so much more. I love all kinds of music!!!!!!!
Okay, I know the disco thing probably threw you, but honestly I'm a big fan of Saturday Night Fever, and I have even been known to throw disco parties. Okay...now if the district office finds THIS out...ha! ha!
Disco party, huh? I was needing a theme for the Women's meeting at my house in a couple of weeks. I was thinking about something different.... I can just imagine our 94 year old church matriarch dancing to "ooh ooh ooh ooh staying alive, staying alive."
I do like different types of music. I guess I'm partial to '80's music/love songs. (I too am a product of the '80's.) My favorite all-time secular song is Kenny Rogers' "Through the Years" & "Lady" is a close second.
I haven't been listening to too much secular lately. Country's just not for me, but I do like some of the newer country love songs. I do like listening to "Delilah after dark."
It's funny you mention her. The other day I was telling a friend how much I love her show and they said they can't stand it, they think she's a fake, but I truly think she's VERY sincere and I believe she's saved.
I admit it..... I love country music. I also like 80's music. We really like a variety around here. You never know what we will be playing. As far as Christian I love Casting Crowns and Andre Crouch and so many others I could not name them all. Darlene Bishop has a great cd from her church that I had and 'disappeared' at church. I would love to get my hands on another one!
It absolutely makes sense that a country fan would like Casting Crowns...the lead singer used to sing for the 90's country band Sawyer Brown. They had some great tear-jerking songs back in their day!!!
I wouldn't have known either, except that Sawyer Brown was one of the few country bands I'd admit to liking back in high school. So when Casting Crowns came on the scene a couple of years ago, I knew right away...and then the Christian radio DJ confirmed my suspicion!
The lead singer was a Christian even back then - he was interviewed on the 700 Club once, and Pat Robertson asked him, "Where did you learn to dance like that?"
I have just spent the past 10 minutes laughing through these posts. Remember, I'm the grandma here--grew up A/G--and NEVER listened to secular music (yeah right!). But, my favorites....are you ready for this were Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, et al.
Here I am reading Disco Party?!! Dancing! Never learned how. I had a grandma who was a preacher, a momma who was a Bible teacher and they would have laid hands on me in more ways than one if I had ever mentioned going to a dance. ugh huh.
So, what will happen if the district finds out? Eager to know. <he he he> You are soooo in trouble.
Revdell...LOL!!! I can definitely relate - I seem to know all the words to songs I "wasn't allowed" to listen to growing up (Remember, I grew up in the 80's, when it was cool to blast MTV on several screens in pretty much any department store you went to!).
One of my earliest memories regarding music was me as a five year-old walking around the house singing, "Let's Get Physical" by Olivia Newton John. I had seen the video the night before when my babysitter was there, and I honestly thought it was about how it's important to exercise every day! So I was in the living room doing Richard Simmons-style aerobics while singing that song.
After my parents stopped laughing (I'm assuming...I'd be in hysterics if I had a kid who was doing that!!), they stopped me and explained that it wasn't a good song for me to be singing, etc...
Since it's not one of the 16 fundamentals of truth or anything, I don't think it would be anything real serious... Probably just a disapproving sigh or something. Who knows...they could all be closet disco fans and we just don't know it. Ha!
You're killing me!!! I just had an image in my head of Tom Trask, my district superintendent, and all of our presbyters on the dance floor, boogeying to "Get Down Tonight"!!! Hmmm...I just thought of my next BGMC fundraiser: if the kids raise X amount of dollars for BGMC, the pastor will do a disco routine on Sunday morning...
Ha ha! Well, actually I gave some of the district officials Kenny G. CD's for Christmas last year...
