Blown away by how many ‘Christians’ just assume because you don’t agree with them politically or philosophically that you are wayward & lost or evil.. no other group of human beings attacks & belittles it’s own more than conservative evangelicals- Jesus would agree.
Last year I was lambasted by right wing fundamentalist Theo-bro’s & sisters for progressing in my thoughts & views on life.. this year I hope to continue my work.
Left a dcTalk fan page the other day because of judgement & ridicule for not identifying with the fundamentalist evangelicals-it’s amazing the division & ignorance that has been perpetuated in these times. But then again, maybe I should be happy, because I’m truly ‘Free At Last.’
After thousands have weighed in on a late night tweet & torn the flesh off my carcass, taking sides on the condition of my soul/ perpetuated by the christian post, blaze, babylon bee etc I’d just like to say, I’m still a bespoke Jesus Freak deconstructing in harmony with you. ☮️
I’ve been deconstructing/Reconstructing/progressing/whatever you wish to call it for decades, I’ve been in the outsider/misfit/seeker club for a long time now.... thank you for welcoming me in but I’ve always been here. Happy Saturday all. Thank you for your comments.

Kevin, I don’t like everything Trump says but I also believe Biden is being used to promote socialism. What is your main reason for disliking Donald Trump? Curious 🧐
My mom is battling a form of dementia that has taken both her sister & mother, but she is a warrior & the best mom I could have ever wanted or needed- she adopted me & raised with kindness and perfect love- here she is the last time she visited me in Franklin TN - love you mom.
It’s dangerous losing music supporters when you rely on that as your means to provide... but it sure feels good to be honest & clear about what you believe in and don’t believe in anymore.... and now more than ever, honesty is the fuel we need.

Thank you for all of the prayers and encouragement sent to me for Toby & His family.... being out here on the road it’s tough to imagine what’s going on back in Nashville, but every single positive remark or thought helps. Please lift up his wife and kids as well, thank you KM
Sorry, just a day late. Interesting fact, beyond writing and recording for this album I also own the 19th century medical book that this cover comes from- my friend & I thought it would make a cool album cover. Glad we took the chance, it still looks timeless.
I love Jesus with my whole heart... not afraid to say it... but the Jesus I love does not spread dissension and hate & petty judgements on other human beings. Enlighten up, to those who read this, yes I’m speaking to you.
Being in a interracial band for more than 3 decades, I’ve seen a lot of nefarious stuff... but it still pales in comparison to what Michael himself had to deal with his whole life-we need to listen, learn, act & change the way things are-the revolution to eradicate racism is now.
Just said goodbye to our precious canine Thor the magnificent. Been a tough day, I hope to the Universe there is a dog afterlife filled with joy & amazing treats. They deserve it more than humanity does. He was one of a kind.
My oldest son wilder has autism & everyday we think about his future & what opportunities he may or may not have - we protect him but we also allow him to grow and take chances- remember every single person has different hurdles in life than you do ...
@autismspeaks
if tobymac was your favorite you are now a cop, if kevin max was your favorite you are now a socialist and if michael was your favorite you are now disappointed, i don’t think i have to explain this to anyone
New dcTalk album > ..... ( but no, this is not an announcement. I just think a new album would be amazing.... ) that said, what is your favorite dcTalk album and why?
Any exvangelicals out there ever on ‘quiz team’ as a kid? Every time The Bible app throws me a verse I feel like I’ve got to memorize it and jump up real fast from the couch at the same time.
To all of those folks that know my music & my art beyond dctalk, thank you for the support over the years- it means everything to me...however, I don't know half of you half as well as I should like & I like less than half of you as well as you deserve? no but seriously thank you
So now that ‘the christian post’ decided to write an article on my tweets- I’d thought I’d let you know I’m truly progressing forward & deconstructing rock and roll with my new band
@AstronautsSad
join us! KM
I might have deconstructed beyond the four walls of a church building & away from fundamentalist evangelicalism but I'm still a gothic hippie inclusive Jesus Freak hoping for people to come together and throw away the shackles of fear, ignorance & hatred.
#cometogether
#utopia
Solo for 20 years, Let me count the ways of difficult dreams of futile attempts at success but 18 albums I’m ultimately proud of-a ‘cult’ following I’m equally proud of... I took the path away from my past gladly & made the music I wanted to make & did it my way.
#beyourself
Went to a small historic Episcopal church in downtown Franklin today with my wife & one of our kids. It was quite a refreshing atmosphere. Might become a member, might even sing in the choir.. you never know.
Even though I’m not really a part of the Christian music ‘scene’ much anymore with the exception of the odd guest slot or retro project, I do still very much love a lot of people still in it... people are people after all... music should be music too.
One Of Our first song's recorded as dcTalk ( maybe the very first, can't remember ) was when Tait and I walked into one of those amusement park recording booth's and sang 'Lean On Me'.....Bill Withers was/is a Legend.

Watched some of the video from the latest
@dctalkofficial
cruise today- man, there is something special about this band that I can’t touch as a solo artist-it really is about 3 different artists coming together to create something unique. The combination is the key.
#onewaycrew
I am not my past or my future, I am right now. It’s hard for certain people who have grown up with my music to realize that at times, but it’s the truest truth I own. That’s all. Happy Tuesday KM
Having a discussion with
@hobbsisme
and others about being the least popular dcTalk member... in short its a hilarious and very real conversation-lets just say this, I think that those who get me, really get me- and those that don't really don't. :)) KM
Jesus was born on this day ( or a day close to this one? ) ... probably in a cave ... He & His parents forced to flee the country like refugees from Persecution & death by a maniacal King-God chose to reveal himself this way in Human Form. Poor, Common & Fragile.
#merrychristmas
Honestly, whatever happens in the future, beyond politics, theology or the breakdown of the human spirit, I just want everyone to know I’m just an unapologetic Tolkien nerd and I see everything through its wide sweeping analogies. Totes to the Middle Earth. KM
I’m going on a vacation for a week or so with my family in my RV, we need this as my wife has diligently homeschooled all year & I’ve made music all year in my cave & stuff- no DM’s unless it’s urgent, ok? & by urgent that doesn’t include: ‘can you define Jesus Freak for me?’ Etc
That’s why I’m not a part of your back-biting, judgmental, ignorant, hate-filled church anymore.... just gonna follow Jesus.

If they made a real movie about The Rapture it should be directed by

starring Joaquin Phoenix as a ex-TV evangelist who moonlights as an expert occultist who finds a doorway into another dimension & plots a ‘Rapture’ event with an alien race to market his book.

Gnight twitter - thanks to all of you that told me you aren’t ashamed of this dctalk member who posted a trump meme because it was funny & heartbreakingly true. I see you. This too shall pass. KM
I started singing in front of audiences at 4 years old.... now at 52 I’m still doing it... that in itself is interesting but what’s interesting to me is that I still enjoy it... singing, what a strange & enchanting thing to do. KM
