Brian ‘Head’ Welch Instagram – 1.9.05 – Happy spiritual birthday to me!
This pic was the number one most downloaded photo on @yahoo the day it came out, probably because of the ridicule that I brought on myself – a metal guitarist getting baptized in Israel, resembling the popular white American image of Jesus Christ haha.
People thought it was a practical joke, but what happened on the inside of me was no joke at all and it is just as powerful and secure today – 19 years later! Coming to the end of myself was so precious because it helped me come to a profound realization: 1. I truly despised myself 2. my ecoic, depressed, addicted view of my existence had to die. Laying my life down in the Jordan river waters in Israel symbolized that death to self.
New life will never be birthed until a death happens; a laying down of one’s pride and egotistical state of mind.
I want to thank you all for being on this journey with me and having my back, whether you are on a similar spiritual journey or not, I seriously respect and appreciate you all
