A word from my friend Danny Castagna about the music and impact of Kevin Max on his life:
The sudden death of my amazing friend Nancy on New Year’s Day really shook me to my core. Never have I experience such brokenness. It was gut-wrenching. So I put on the radio (which I never do because it all sounds the same) and Kevin’s voice came on singing “Gods Not Dead.” I needed to hear those lyrics:
“Let love explode and bring the dead to life. A love so bold to bring a revolution somehow…Let hope arise and make the darkness hide… MY FAITH is dead, I need a resurrection somehow…Let heaven roar, and fire fall. Come shake the ground with sound of revival.”
I also needed to hear Kevin Max and Michael Tait singing together again. Tait and Max were part of dctalk. As a teenager, I had 
learned so much from DCT. That’s why the song sounded so familiar to me. God knew I need something to bring me back to my roots and remind me again. Remind me of things He had showed me when I was a teenager. Remind me of the promises that He has made. That when life sucks and we begin to question what He is doing. I forgot. I forgot those promises. I had forgotten that first love. It was in this dark moment I needed that reminder.
Its Kevin’s music (both DCT/AA and solo) that helped me remember Gods promises. Its Kevin’s music that pushes me to be a better Christian-to love like Jesus, to be a beggar at the door of God’s Mercy, to be a ragamuffin, to look to Jesus for answers. I cannot do this on my own. It’s ok to be vulnerable.
Kevin Max (of dcTalk and Audio Adrenaline) has a Pledge campaign up to support the upcoming release of his independent project titled BROKEN TEMPLES. What he’s released, so far, has been amazing and, for those interested in pre-ordering a copy of the album, there are some amazing incentives available on the Pledge campaign page for BROKEN TEMPLES.

Very sorry to hear about your painful loss . . . praise God for the creative ways He uses His people to help comfort, remind and redirect. Thank you for sharing.
So sorry to hear the grief you’re going through Danny. And a privilege to hear how you’re journeying through that with Kevin’s music 😀
