    Great trip down memory lane

    This movie captured the soundtrack of my childhood into my 20's and beyond. It was very well done and really brought back a lot of memories. I am happy they tackled some of the more difficult topics and I hope people learn and stop repeating the past.

    Great Documentary

    Very eye opening. While it, obviously, shows the highs. It shows the artists frailty. If you have any interest in music do yourself a favor and watch. There is a moment where they talk about Tobymacs oldest son passing of an overdose, it is touching. I remember Toby handling that loss as good as anyone I have ever seen. He truly shows his emotions. I live how it credits Amy Grant with starting this push to the music becoming mainstream stream. Not with that intent in mind. Again. This is eye opening. It says a lot about these artists to just be honest. As honest as anyone would be. I have always liked Christian pop and gospel. This sheds a new light for me. Also. A great part about Kirk Franklin. What a pioneer.

    Missed opportunity

    I like how the documentary talks about the very beginnings of Christian music. There are so many missed artists that they could have highlighted. They spent too much time on Stryper, DC talk, and others. I would have cut those parts down and added people such as Randy Stonehill, the Imperials, and many, many others that blazed the trail the foundation of Christian music.

    worth

    Great production value.

    This was so aesthetically pleasing that little else would matter.. but being a christian project it makes it tenfold more pleasing.

    God will Do IT Again

    Jesus Music is an insightful nostalgic trip through the Christian time space continuum. If you were born in the 60's or 70's and grew up listening to Christian music, this is a must watch. If you didn't follow Christian music and the "Church" through the decades you won't understand the valleys these artist traveled through to reach the mountain top.

    If you can't identify with the adversity these artist and their followers faced, maybe you can see how the church learned forgiveness, love and repentance, and that God sent His Son Jesus for such a time as this.

    Billy Graham got it right. If you can't watch this film and see that God is about to do this all over again in this nation and in a new way, ask God to open your eyes and prepare your heart to love.

    I am deeply blessed by this film and these artist. #real.
