Is Christian Music Dying?

A friend of mine (who happens to manage a band) asked me a question yesterday. I answered the question, but I also wanted to ask you. So here’s the question:

Do you promote Christian music? Do you encourage your students to listen to it? It seems, more and more, that the next generation doesn’t buy the CD’s, go to the shows, or follow the bands. Why is that?

I gave my answer. Now it’s time for you to give yours. And if you take time to answer, it will enter you into a contest to win some free music (fitting, right?).

Who can answer?

Originally, this question was designed for student pastors, because of their influence with the next generation. However, we’d like to hear from everyone (teenagers, parents, senior pastors, etc.). So fire away! Just make sure to tell us how old you are, so we know who’s talking.

How can you respond?

1. Comment below. Feel free to leave as detailed an answer as you’d like.

2. Tweet your reply. Although this won’t enter you in the contest, it will still help us.

3. Tell your friends. If you share this post on Facebook or Twitter, I’ll TRIPLE your chances of winning by throwing your name in the hat another two times, in addition to the one entry you get from commenting below. It might look like this:

Have 2 minutes to take a survey on Christian music? Your could win some free music! Head over to http://bit.ly/M0wTIg and be heard!

You have until noon on Friday, June 29 to answer. Thanks so much for helping out with this!

And for those wondering, the giveaway will include one free album from the band that’s asking the question. In addition, I’ll throw in a couple extras, including an iTunes card (in case you don’t trust my musical prowess). I promise it will be worth it!
