Jonas Brothers: Candid Conviction

Grammy-nominated Pop/Rock trio the Jonas Brothers have become much more vocal about their Christian faith lately. Granted, their donning of the infamous purity rings, a symbol of chastity before marriage, has whipped up a good share of controversy surrounding the band (See “Freaked Out Over Standards?”).

In the course of almost three years in the spotlight, these three sons of a Baptist preacher have been relatively low-key about their beliefs, usually opting to redirect interviewers to ask about their music, rather than about their faith.

Yet in mid-March, Nick, Joe, & Kevin agreed to do an interview for Gateway Church, a non-denominational church located in Austin, Texas.

On it, they spoke of their personal relationship with God, and its relevance to their personal lives and careers. For example, as Christians, they see every concert performance as a way to worship God and share their gifts with others. They were also a guest worship band at Saddleback Church's Easter Service at the Anaheim Angels Stadium, of which The Purpose Driven Life's Rick Warren is lead pastor.
