As soon as autumn, we can see the film in which the most internationally known Christian pop music performers testify about the power and mission of "Jesus music". The creators of the film "I can only imagine" have now taken on a truly great task by voicing the dedicated stars of the musical style and revealing the circumstances of the birth of the musical movement that appeared in our country almost at the same time.
The existence of the grandiose motion picture has message value in itself: in the most remote parts of the world, which do not know each other, there was a need for the people of the time to praise God in their own language and with musical instruments.
According to the trailer of the film that tells the story of "Jesus Music", it all started in the small Calvary Chapel in California. Of course, we know how many preliminary events were needed to be able to state this. However, it's okay if we don't forget the significant events around the birth of the genre.
However, we can say with certainty that what started modestly and humbly at the time in Costa Mesa has now
grown into a huge, multi-billion dollar movement and industry around the world.
On October 1, Lionsgate will present the work that tells the story of more than twenty-five artists in theaters. It is not the first time that the makers of the documentary touch on the topic of Christian popular music. After the wonderful autobiographical productions I can only imagine and I still believe, we can now see a really big immersion in the world of the genre with the voices of artists such as Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, TobyMac, Michael Tait, dc Talk, Kirk Franklin, Chris Tomlin, John L. Cooper, CeCe Winans, Steven Curtis Chapman, Lauren Daigle, KING & COUNTRY and many more.
We sing many Christian hymns with our eyes closed, only to the Lord. I always wanted to perform it with eyes wide open, so that we could sing to each other," says Amy Grant in the film's trailer, who says that with the development of new music, new aspects have become important. "This genre was able to give a loving response to the civil unrest of the sixties," says Kirk Franklin , but according to the speaker, the acceptance of the new musical sound within the church caused many dramatic situations.
In the film covering the history of Jesus music, the speakers unanimously declare that this music changed their lives. Praising God became a part of their everyday life, and they fully expressed themselves in music.
