Jon Steingard, the frontman of the Christian rock band Hawk Nelson, has told fans that he ‘no longer believes in God’ in a lengthy Instagram post about his faith.

Today’s story shows the terrible damage that can be caused by telling someone who ‘said the Sinner’s Prayer’ that they just became saved, because guess what? The ‘sinner’s prayer’ saves no one, never did and never will. It is the shed blood of Jesus Christ, that made a payment for your sins on the cross at Calvary, that when you receive it by faith pays your sin debt to God. Sinners need a Saviour, and what are we saved from? From having to go the Hell for eternity, that’s exactly what salvation is.

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” Romans 3:23-26 (KJB)

Why does so much of Christian rock music sound like the world? Because there is a very high percentage of people performing that ‘said the sinner’s prayer’ or were raised in a “christian family” and they grew up doing what everyone did because everyone did it. That is not how people actually get saved. These are not false converts, these are people who have never been converted biblically, and as such they fall away. We have brought you many stories over the years of Christian rock singers renouncing the faith they never had in the first place.

“Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.” Luke 8:12,13 (KJB)

Katy Perry was raised in a Christian home, so called, and used to sing at youth camp for Jesus. Now she sings for Satan, is a multimillionaire, and wouldn’t change a thing. Amy Grant was the premier Christian artist in the 1980’s and ’90’s, now she performs at lesbian weddings and has a huge LGBTQ+ fan base. What happened? When you look behind the scenes, what’s missing is their first coming to the understanding that they are sinners who deserve Hell, and that Jesus paid it all on the cross for them, personally and individually.

“And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:39-43 (KJB)

Jesus doesn’t want your heart if you’re lost, the bible says it’s wicked and deceitful. Jesus wants you to decide for yourself what you believe about Him to be true, and then to act on that belief. Both thieves on the cross spit in Jesus’ face, both of them mocked Him equally, so what happened? One of them repented of that disbelief in Jesus, and Jesus took him at his word and saved him. He didn’t repent of his sins, he repented of his disbelief. If Jon Steingard had done that, he likely would not be in the position he is in right now. Of course, if he had done that, he likely wouldn’t have been a frontman for a “christian rock’ band, either.

Christian rock frontman Jon Steingard says he “no longer believes in God” surprising no one

FROM NME: The Canadian musician joined the Ontario band in 2004, and has been a part of the group’s last seven studio albums — the most recent being 2018’s ‘Miracles’. Steingard addressed his faith in an Instagram post last week, writing in the caption that he’d been “terrified” at the prospect of penning the statement.

“But it feels like it’s time for me to be honest,” he wrote. “I hope this is not the end of the conversation, but the beginning. I hope this is encouraging to people who might feel the same but are as afraid to speak as I am. I want to be open. I want to be transparent with you all – and also open to having my heart changed in the future.”

In the post itself, Steingard reflected on his Christian upbringing and “having the word ‘Christian’ in front of most of the things in my life” before saying: “I am now finding that I no longer believe in God.”

“I still find myself wanting to soften that statement by wording it differently or less specifically — but it wouldn’t be as true,” Steingard continued. “The process of getting to that sentence has been several years in the making.”

In regards to his fronting Hawk Nelson, Steingard wrote: “If you’re someone who follows me because of Hawk Nelson, and my involvement in Christian music, you are probably thinking, ‘Wait — were you lying to me the whole time? Were you just pretending to be a Christian? What about all those songs you wrote? Did you mean those?’

“The short answer is that I was not lying. I did believe those things at the time. I may have been pulling on the threads of the sweater, but there was still some sweater left back then.” Steingard also suggested that he will be leaving Hawk Nelson in the future. “While I know I can no longer stand on stage and in good conscience sing songs like ‘Drops in the Ocean’, I no longer fear losing my place in Christian music. I know this means giving it up voluntarily.”

The frontman later added: “I’m open to the idea that God is there. I’d prefer if he was. I suspect if he is there, he is very different than what I was taught.” READ MORE

Hundreds Of King James Bibles Have Been Urgently Requested From The State Correctional Institution In Muncy PA And From The Montana State Prison

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

SCI Muncy and the Montana State Prison are just a few of the jails and prisons who have reached out this week for King James Bibles and Christians books

The dearth of Bibles available to jails is weighing down hard on chaplains like Chaplain Hanson over at the State Correctional Institution In Muncy, PA, who wrote to us and said “Thank you for this exciting news this morning. We desperately need King James Bibles to give out to the men. I don’t know how many you are able to donate, but if we can get up to two hundred, that will be wonderful.” Remember my Sunday Sermon 2 weeks ago about the coming famine of the word of the Lord? Thank God His word is still available right here, right now, and we are able to send it out. What a blessing!

Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;” Colossians 1:25 (KJB)

Chaplain Marshall from the Montana State Prison also wrote to us this week, we have supplied them in the past, to let us know they again have a high need for King James Bibles for their inmates. Time was there were dozens of KJV bible-sending ministries for inmates across the country, but in 2026, Bibles Behind Bars is one of the last suppliers of exclusively King James and KJV Spanish Bibles to jail and prisons in America. We have been tasked by God to stand in the gap and send the word out, what an awesome responsibility! But we need your help to keep on doing it.

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

US Marines spot Bigfoot on base in Quantico Virginia and the spirit of Satan now operating openly in the streets of Minnesota causing chaos and confusion

We are following some crazy, but true stories for you today that serve to remind us of just where we are on the end times timeline. First, United States Marines in a restricted military training area near the MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain) training town in Quantico, Virginia have come forward with a report that they saw a Bigfoot in wild at night last summer. Then we travel to the state of Minnesota where we see something even more unusual, overt satanism at the highest levels of government that seems to be resulting in chaos, confusion and death in cities like Minneapolis. What on Earth is going on? Glad you asked, today we tell you all about it.

BLOODBATH: Shakeup At Department Of Homeland Security As Trump Pivots To Show Sympathetic Response On Murder Of Alex Pretti In Minneapolis

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

President Trump is backpedaling furiously to stop the bleeding over at the Department of Homeland Security after recent Minneapolis street killings

The Trump administration is scrambling in the aftermath of the Minneapolis killing of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, shot by Border Patrol agents during what’s being described as part of Operation Metro Surge. As more video and witness reporting comes out, it has undercut key elements of the early federal narrative, and now the White House is trying to tamp down the fire with personnel moves and softer rhetoric. Trump is in the hot seat, rightly so, and he knows it.

“Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.” Isaiah 1:10 (KJB)

So we get the headlines: Border czar Tom Homan dispatched, Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino reassigned, and even reports of DHS restricting Bovino’s social media access—all the usual “optics management” that Washington does when a story won’t die. But here’s the problem: you can’t PR your way out of a moral collapse. The Trump administration is filled with cosplay poseurs like Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino (who has failed out), and Kristi Noem who should be removed as quickly as possible. These are drastically unqualified people who are building incompetent departments stocked with poorly-trained people. Properly-trained officers would never have shot and killed those two people.

As I have said many times over the years, I think both ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter are domestic terror organizations, and if that makes you mad, too bad. But as an American who stands on the rule of law, shooting protesters dead in the streets is a bad look, a really bad look, and that has to stop. God forbid we ever normalize that type of behavior as a means of conflict resolution, for if we do, we are done as a nation. Third world countries execute their protestors in the streets, not us.

So Trump realizing that with multiple corpses on his hands, he needs to turn this thing around as quickly as possible. Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino was demoted and is leaving Minnesota. Tom Homan is taking over, reporting directly to Trump. Kristi Noem spent two hours in the Oval Office; her job status is unclear. Trump called Governor Tim Walz and said they’re on “the same wavelength.” A partial government shutdown looms Friday with reports saying that House Republicans can’t pass another DHS funding bill. Trump would do well to go watch the Reagan movie from last year, and learn a little something about how the office of the president should be conducted. I really miss Reagan.
