Brian "Head" Welch - formerly of Korn - A testimony



Former Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch recently released his book "Save Me From Myself: How I found God, Quit Korn, Kicked Drugs, and Lived to Tell My Story". It's a testimony of one who had seen and done it all but whose life hit rock bottom and when he looked up he saw Jesus Christ.

Here is a quick excerpt from an article he did for Christianity Today.

".... I didn’t even know I was going back to Christ. I didn’t know I had Christ. I didn’t know Christ was real. I knew they said he was real, but I never experienced him. So when I went to rehab I couldn’t quit the dang drug. I got invited to church by a friend, and they took me in. The preacher was talking about how you can just go … all you got to do is talk to God in your everyday life and He’ll be involved. If you just hang out with Him, all the bad things will just fall out of your life.

So I went home, I rolled up a bill, started snorting some drugs, and I prayed on drugs. I was like ‘Lord, if You’re real like that guy said, please take these drugs from me. Make them go away. Reveal Yourself to me and all that.’ I think in a week or two, I got the urge to throw away all my drugs with the help of a friend. I was done.

So He showed me He was real, and I was like ‘ok, now You’re real. Now what? What do You want me to do? Cool. This is awesome. Now what?’ And that’s when I left Korn."

Awesome stuff, wonder if he'd be up to playing in a praise band................?
