When Christian artists publicly deconstruct their faith or reverse the values their music once proclaimed, listeners are left asking a real question: were they ever telling the truth? In this episode of Bible, Bros & Brew, David McIntyre, Phillip Rich, and Jon Dzyuba react to Avalon's "Testify to Love" being rerecorded with a gay choir, examine the wave of faith deconstruction among Christian artists, and ground the conversation in Colossians 3, verse 15 — letting the peace of Christ act as an umpire for what we consume. 

In this episode, David McIntyre and Phillip Rich react to the Avalon controversy — a member of the beloved Christian group has come out as gay, gotten married, and rerecorded "Testify to Love" with a gay choir — and use that story as a window into the broader pattern of faith deconstruction among high-profile Christian artists. Kevin Max and Michael Tait from DC Talk, Amy Grant, Gungor, Plumb, and Joshua Harris all come up in a conversation that's honest, warm, and grounded in Scripture rather than culture war. 

Philip brings Colossians 3, verse 15 to anchor the discussion — "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts" — and the guys apply it as a practical filter for what you listen to and who you trust with your spiritual formation. They also give a fresh list of artists who are doing it right: Forest Frank, Jonathan Ogden, Josh Garrels, Victory Boyd, Sunday, NF, Jason Nelson, Hulvey, and more.
