Day 1 - Friday night - Pastor G. Craige Lewis - YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS!

In 1990, God gave Pastor Lewis a vision revealing how music was being used to lead young people away from Him. Heavy Metal and later Hip Hop promoted rebellion, sexual immorality, drug use, violence, and occult influences, shaping youth culture across racial lines and replacing parents and God as moral guides. These music forms normalized sin and distorted biblical truth, even producing artists who falsely claimed divine authority.

God also showed Pastor Lewis that this corruption would enter the church itself—through Christian music adopting secular styles, artists, producers, and messages to gain worldly acceptance. In doing so, the church would unknowingly validate lifestyles and influences that destroy youth spiritually.

But God also revealed the solution: His people must uphold His standard. We must be separate from the world to truly reach it. The gospel does not need secular influence to be effective—the Spirit of God alone draws people to Christ. EX Ministries is called to model this standard, offering music that is engaging yet uncompromising, pure in message, and rooted fully in God’s Word.

Secularized Christian music draws people to the world; the Spirit of God draws them to Jesus Christ.
