Before the tour started, I chatted with one of my friends who worked at our record label, expressing my disappointment in how few godly men I thought there were—or at least who hadn’t yet been taken. I had toured with many great guys over the years who all became my friends, and I expected this was going to be no different. She mentioned I was about to meet a special one on this upcoming tour. not my type 17 Copyrighted material In-Unison-INT-v7.indd 17 1/22/20 1:44 PM This guy, Jeremy Camp, had withstood the devastating trial of watching his young wife pass away from cancer, and he was one of the sweetest, godliest guys she had ever met. I was vaguely familiar with Jeremy through the music industry, but since I was into a completely different style of music than his, I adamantly responded, “Oh no, I’ve heard his music. And he’s definitely not my type.” I was convinced I would marry a visual artist—a painter, sculptor, or photographer—perhaps tall, skinny, and oozing creativity. I also had the youthful notion that in order to marry someone, I had to enjoy pretty much all the same things as him. Oh, and since I am from South Africa, I had vowed never to marry an American. (I had a misconception about our cul- tural differences and wanted to stay as connected to South Africa as possi- ble.) So post-grunge, athletic, American Jeremy did not fit my description of the guy I thought I wanted. I had only ever dated one person, and although it was a silly, brief rela- tionship, it had a bit of a messy ending from which I was still feeling emo- tional effects and insecurities. All I wanted was to throw myself fully into Jesus. I certainly didn’t want a new distraction in my life after all the restorative work the Lord had been doing in my heart. Early into the outdoor tour through 40-plus cities, I sprained my ankle quite badly trying to 18 in unison Copyrighted material In-Unison-INT-v7.indd 18 1/22/20 1:44 PM escape a torrential downpour. I ended up having to play my shows while wearing a huge ankle brace for a couple weeks, much to my dismay. As the front woman of a passionate rock band, The Benjamin Gate, it wasn’t my style to be hindered. I believed you had to leave your heart bleeding on the stage when you walked off, and if I couldn’t do that, then I didn’t feel as if I had done my job properly. Shortly after my fall, Jeremy introduced himself to me and told me that he and his band had prayed for me the day before. I was surprised but encouraged, and I mentioned to him that we had a mutual friend at the record label. not my type 19 Copyrighted material In-Unison-INT-v7.indd 19 1/22/20 1:44 PM That was it. No sparks. No flame. No further thought. But I realized Jeremy was very kind and more tender than most people I had met, and it was evident he had a deep relationship with the Lord. The Hotel Stranger Our merchandise tables were providentially set up near each other’s, so over the course of the next three months we saw each other and had some form of interaction every day. Typically while touring, especially during festival season, I’d head to the hotel for a shower after the show was finished before hitting the road and traveling to the next venue. On one occasion I was hobbling toward my hotel room, still wearing my gigantic ankle brace, when a guy standing in the hallway greeted me. Thinking he was one of the crew guys on tour, I smiled back and said hi. He proceeded to invite me into his room and told me he had some beers, if I liked that kind of thing. I was shocked and instantly afraid. He was obviously not with our tour. I didn’t know what to do and definitely didn’t want him seeing which room I was staying in. If he tried anything, then my escape would be limited—I wouldn’t be able to run very fast in my ankle boot. At that moment, one of Jeremy’s band members came around the corner. I was relieved and quickly signaled to him to stand with me until the creepy guy went away. But it was Jeremy who caught wind that something was wrong. Immediately, the most intimidating looked crossed Jeremy’s face, and I saw him puff up in a Hulk-ish way as he asked, “What happened?” 20 in unison Copyrighted material In-Unison-INT-v7.indd 20 1/22/20 1:44 PM God creates out of nothing. Wonderful, you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners. soren kierkegaard1 not my type 21 Copyrighted material In-Unison-INT-v7.indd 21 1/22/20 1:44 PM I was convinced he was going to punch this guy in the face, and I would embarrassingly be the cause of a ruckus. I called his name to slow him down. “Jeremy!” He didn’t flinch. He strode directly toward the man and very firmly but calmly said, “Hey man, you leave our girl alone.” I think the fear of the Lord entered that guy, as it did me, and he sheep- ishly backed into his room. I was entirely relieved that Jeremy had come to my defense and still ner- vous about being alone, so his band helped me switch rooms for the night. The next day Jeremy came and apologized for possibly scaring me. He had, but we had a good laugh about it. I was honestly thankful to have been protected.

    CHRISTIAN MUSIC EXPERIENCES IN THE FAITH DEVELOPMENT OF ADOLESCENTS: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY by Winnie Gray White Liberty University A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education Liberty University June, 2014 CHRISTIAN MUSIC EXPERIENCES IN THE FAITH DEVELOPMENT OF ADOLESCENTS: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY by Winnie Rebecca Gray White A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA June, 2014 APPROVED BY: James Swezey, Ed.D., Committee Chair Meredith Furrow, Ed.D., Committee Member Lin Wheeler, Ed.D., Committee Member Scott Watson, Ph.D., Associate Dean, Advanced Programs 2 CHRISTIAN MUSIC EXPERIENCES IN THE FAITH DEVELOPMENT OF ADOLESCENTS: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY ABSTRACT The purpose of this qualitative, phenomenology study was to discover how Christian music experiences affect the faith development of adolescents. The lived experiences are the on-going process in which adolescents develop through the stages of faith and how Christian music fits into that process. The participants were adolescents who participated in a youth group with an active music experience on a weekly basis. I used the transcendental phenomenology model which included the epoche, phenomenological reduction, imaginative variation, and synthesis of texture and structure to collect, gather, and analyze the data. Data were collected from 11 adolescents utilizing observations, Fowler’s Life Tapestry Journal, Fowler’s Faith Development Instrument, and Christian music experiences interview questions. I analyzed the data using systematic phenomenology procedures by developing individual textural and structural descriptions, compositing textural and structural descriptions, and synthesizing textural and structural meanings and essences of the Christian music experience in the faith development of adolescents.

  • A Sociological Analysis of Christian Contemporary Music and Aural Piety
    “FAITH COMES BY HEARING”: A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF CHRISTIAN CONTEMPORARY MUSIC AND AURAL PIETY __________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board __________________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Courtney Sorrell Tepera August 2017 Examining Committee Members: Lucy Bregman, Advisory Chair, TU Department of Religion Terry Rey, TU Department of Religion David Harrington Watt, TU Department of History Dustin Kidd, External Member, TU Department of Sociology © Copyright 2017 by Courtney Suzanne Sorrell Tepera ____________________________ All rights reserved iii ABSTRACT Over the past fifty years, Christian contemporary music has joined hymnody and psalmody as a major form of evangelical liturgical and devotional song. While the production and content of this genre have been explored by scholars, few studies have attended to the devotional use of the genre and its role in shaping the religious lives of American evangelicals. This project draws from several sets of data to address this matter: analysis of church-created worship music albums, listener testimonials on Christian radio websites, and focus group interviews of laity and clergy at four South Carolina churches. The data revealed that music is significant to their religious lives outside of church as a means of encountering God, managing emotions, and displaying spiritual capital. Inside churches, the music is used to create a sense of corporate identity that reinforces social bonds within the community and attracts newcomers. Drawing on the methodological framework of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of practice and his work on social distinction, I argue that American evangelicals who listen to Christian contemporary music are engaged in aural piety, a set of practices, attitudes, and ideas invested in music that structure and evoke the experience of the sacred.
