Kevin Max spent the last two years utilizing his unique vocal and writing talents along with bass player Will McGinniss, drummer Jared Byers, and guitarist Dwayne Larring, who joined the group in August of I look forward to continually being involved in the Hands and Feet Project and also as a creative ally in anything Audio Adrenaline does in the future.
Audio Adrenaline co-founding member Will McGinniss shares, "I love Kevin and it has been nothing but an honor and a joy to get to journey life with him these last two years. During every show I would look across the stage and smile and think 'God, you are a Creative and Redemptive God. That song was amazing.
Digging into your book a little bit, a recurring theme that coming up, is that you felt like an impostor. For example, I'm going to quote something here that you said.
Well, there's a couple of reasons why. First of all, musically we were not as prolific as the peers that we were making records with at the same time. Other bands could sing better and other artists could play better. That's one part of it. How in the world did we end up here? We felt inadequate because we were relying on ourselves and not God. And then on the spiritual side, and I can't speak as much for the other guys, but for me personally, a lot of my early years was really performance-based Christianity.
I would be cast out or whatever. In complete transparency, that's where a lot of the best music came from. That's why people connected to us because we had this underlying sense of, man, we shouldn't even be here.
I think people related to that. Musically and spiritually I felt like we were always on the edge of being discovered. It wasn't until the back half of my life that I realized the front half of my life was based more on me and being in control, me being good enough to be worthy to be on stage.
None of us ever are and nobody is. And so the back half of my life, I've just let that go. I've gained a lot of wisdom. When you lose everything, you understand that you were never in control in the first place. God's ways are bigger than then you gave Him credit for on the rise up.
That's a very easy thing to say, but a harder thing to do. How did you learn to let that go? It's not something that I learned; it was forced upon me. I came to a place of desperation where the band was over and my marriage was over. I had to learn to submit because I wouldn't have done it otherwise. I was almost forced to because we have a jealous God. He had to get my attention in a way. And that's what happened. I lost everything to gain awareness that God's bigger than I ever thought He was.
So, as an impostor, I was relying on myself to be good enough musically and to be holy enough spiritually. And because I was relying on myself listening to the enemy, I was always felt like a fraud. Right in the middle of all of this, the horrible earthquake in Haiti happened. You and your former bandmates already had a ministry going there, the Hands and Feet Project.
It was an awful event for sure, but in some ways it gave you a new purpose. Can you talk about what happened in Haiti? The entire earthquake took about 40 seconds and then it was over. I thought that was it. No one got hurt. By clicking 'Send comment' you consent to Cross Rhythms storing and processing your personal data.
