Christian Rock Frontman, Jon Steingard Of Hawk Nelson, Comes Out And Says He ‘No Longer Believes In God’ Showing Perils Of Easy Believism
Jon Steingard, the frontman of the Christian rock band Hawk Nelson, has told fans that he ‘no longer believes in God’ shows perils of easy believism.
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

James River Church That Last Year Fraudulently Claimed To Heal A Woman Of Her Missing Toes Now Holds Laodicean ‘Stronger Men’s Conference’ Circus
The Laodicean James River Church of ‘show me the toes’ fame held their annual ‘Stronger Men’s Conference’, and it was anything else but that
Last year, we showed you how Emergent Church huckster Bill Johnson of the notorious Bethel Church was promoting a ‘miracle’ that had supposedly taken place at the James River Church where a woman who was missing toes found them to be grown back after a ‘healing service’. Only problem was everyone connected to James River Church did their very best to not show you the regrown miracle toes. I wonder why? Now that same church just held their ‘Stronger Men’s Conference’ that looked like an unholy mashup of the UFC, monster trucks, and an AC/DC concert. Ahh, blessed be the ties that bind.
“Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.” Jeremiah 6:16 (KJB)
Do you want to know what creates ‘stronger men’? Men who get under the preaching and teaching of God’s preserved word in truth, sincerity and humbleness. If you need laser lights, rock music and over-the-top displays of ‘manly strength’, you have the world in all its glory. That’s not the gospel, that will never be the gospel, and mixing all that junk with a few nods to the Bible doesn’t change the equation one bit.
This is the same church that last year claimed they healed a woman of her missing toesHmm. #ShowMeTheToes https://t.co/8YkyFzFQSI https://t.co/CYApTylpkX

At one of his meetings, DL Moody watched a woman in the congregation of 20,000 stand up, and begin to give ‘enthusiastic utterances’ while he was preaching. Know what he did? He stopped preaching and had everyone sing an hymn while the woman was gently taken to another room and given the gospel. Why would he do that? Because in Acts 16:16 we see Paul dealing with a woman who, while she spoke the truth, was actually disturbing and disrupting the work of the Lord. As it turns out, her ‘spirit of divination’, so loved by today’s Charismatic church, turned out to be an evil spirit. Funny how that works, isn’t it? Look at the main image at the top of this article, it is from the ‘Stronger Men’s Conference’, what does that remind you of? If you answered the devil metal band AC/DC, you are correct. What is that symbolism doing in a church conference designed to create ‘stronger men’?
Your King James Bible tells you to seek the ‘old ways’ and to walk in the ‘old paths’, where the ‘good way’ is. The ‘good way’ for any Church is the old songs and hymns that magnify Jesus and minimize you, and preaching and teaching from God’s preserved word. No rock, no rap, no smoke machines, no laser lights. no ridiculous displays of false masculinity like what the ‘Stronger Men’s Conference’ is all about. You want to see how strong you are? Go preach the gospel on the street corner on a hot summer day for a couple of hours, hand out a few hundred tracts, compassionately tell lost people they are headed for Hell, and stand tall when the jeers, taunts and spit begins to fly. That’s what a strong, Christian man does.

God Is Giving Us An End Times Harvest With Over 230 Souls Who Prayed To Get Saved In Jail After Receiving A Bible From Our Bibles Behind Bars Program
Hundreds of thousands of pieces of gospel literature have been sent out, and hundreds have prayed to get saved after getting a copy of God’s word from Bibles Behind Bars in an amazing end times harvest
We have been sending out to the jails and prisons hundreds of thousands of King James Bibles, in English and Spanish, New Testaments, scripture portions and gospel tracts since 2021, that’s a lot of seeds planted for the Lord Jesus Christ. And those seeds, once planted, are being watered and cared for on a daily basis by the many chaplains and gospel workers who labour in the jails and prisons we send them out to. Today we report to you the happy news that the number of souls who have prayed to get saved is now past 230 and climbing. Praise the Lord!
“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.” 1 Corinthians 3:6 (KJB)
As the end times rage around us, with bad news coming at us on every side, today we pause for just a little while to rejoice and revel in the harvest of souls that God is giving us through the Bibles Behind Bars Program. Inmates locked away, some for months and some for years on end, sit in their cell day after day with little hope for anything changing. In the midst of that comes to them a King James Bible, provided by all of you who pray and donate, handed to them by one of the jail and prison chaplains or personal workers. The gospel is preached to them, and so far, hundreds have responded to get saved. Right around 232 souls as near as I can figure from the reports we get. Chaplain Steve from the Adair County Jail will be preaching at the Camp Meeting, talking about the revival in his facility, you’re not going to want to miss that amazing testimony.

Pro-Hamas Supporters Funded By George Soros Launched A ‘Global Strike For Gaza’ To Shut Down Highways Across America For Hours Today
Pro-Hamas protesters in dozens of cities across America are participating in the ‘Global Strike for Gaza’ and ‘Stop The World For Gaza’ today, funding comes from George Soros
All across America today, frustrated commuters were stopped for hours by Pro-Hamas supporters who united to ‘stop the world for Gaza’ by blocking access to major roads and bridges in dozens of cities. This is not free speech, this is really not a protest, this is soft terrorism on a mass scale much like the ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter riots in the summer of 2020 were. These anarchist groups receive money from the Third Wave Fund, which itself is funded by Proteus, which is funneled money through the many-headed hydra that is George Soros. It’s not about Gaza, it’s about fomenting civil war.
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)
Living here in the free state of Florida, we don’t have a whole lot of experience with terror-supporting groups locking arms and preventing the forward flow of traffic. I have watch multiple times as Black Lives Matter have reared their ugly heads, but as far as I know, they’ve never tried to commandeer the streets. They get away with this garbage because the Obama administration, operating covertly under ‘front man’ Joe Biden, allows it, protects it and encourages it. These mass protests have almost nothing to do with ‘free speech’ and everything to do with anarchy and rebellion. And speaking of Gaza, I stand with the Jews, pray for the safety of Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem. Am Yisrael Chai. There, I picked my side, now you pick yours.
Pro-Hamas Supporters Blocking American Roads and Bridges ‘for Gaza’
FROM THE NATIONAL REVIEW: In Chicago, protesters organized by a group called Chicago Dissenters blocked the access road to O’Hare International Airport at around 8:30 a.m. to protest Boeing, which sells military equipment to Israel. Activists posted videos on social media of irritated airline customers walking along the shut-down road with luggage in tow.

Some of the comments on the post mocked “the privilege of being annoyed” and being “inconvenienced by having to walk to your flight while Palestinians are being murdered.” All of the participants in the blockade were masked.
They’re attempting to effect economic blockades to coincide with Tax Day. Iran’s attack on Israel this weekend didn’t deter the pro-Palestinian groups from holding the already-planned events.
The Dissenters are nationally funded by grants from the Third Wave Fund, an activist group started in 1992 to mobilize young radical feminists which has since shifted its focus to resourcing and supporting “youth-led, intersectional gender justice activism.” The Dissenters were given a “Mobilize Power Fund” grant in November 2023 to support “safety and security measures among their membership as part of their organizing to free Palestine.” As an aside, it’s worth mentioning that, along with aiding the “Free Palestine” movement, Third Wave Fund also finances a “Sex Worker Giving Circle,” which is “a diverse range of sex worker-led groups throughout the country and bringing current and former sex workers to the philanthropic decision-making table.”

Protesters have also blocked off Lockheed Martin in Virginia, the Golden Gate Bridge in California, the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge in New York, and numerous highways and airports. I’m glad to see these activists putting themselves on display. Every one of these events publicizes how cowardly and extreme pro-Hamas activists are, hiding behind masks and hurling obscenities. With every demonstration since October 7, their signs have gotten more extreme, their chants more vile.
Pro-Hamas rioters shut down the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City today as well. pic.twitter.com/qCaZEOQBsy

In October, protesters’ calls for “cease-fire” were almost knee-jerk; now the activists are cheering on Iranian missile attacks with glee and waving Hezbollah’s flag triumphantly. Full-throttle sympathy for terrorism was always the endgame, as we’ve written many times. Anyone who thought that calls for a cease-fire didn’t also mean the denial of Israel’s right to exist now have an array of evidence proving otherwise. READ MORE
