Review: Christian music star is doing something no one else has done

“Tonight is not about me,” said Brandon Lake. “But it is about one man — and His name is Jesus.”

Brandon Lake may just be the most popular concert artist in Christian music history.

Yet, he made it clear — right from the start of his sold-out concert at the SAP Center in San Jose — that he was far from being the true star of the show on Sunday night.

“Tonight is not about me,” said the singer-songwriter, who is a worship pastor at Seacoast Church in South Carolina. “But it is about one man — and His name is Jesus.”

Lake proceeded to turn the Shark Tank into a massive revival tent, leading a crowd that he announced on stage as 15,000 attendees through a 2½-hour-plus set of some of the most powerful contemporary Christian music (CCM) songs of recent years.

That all of this was happening in the heart of Silicon Valley/Bay Area — widely known as one of the least religious and most “unchurched” areas in the country — only made this accomplishment more impressive, greatly underscoring the historic nature of Lake’s trajectory as an artist.

Simply put, this 35-year-old talent is drawing attendance numbers at the box office that are simply astounding — arguably beyond anything ever seen in the CCM genre before.

In churches across the country this is happening every week. Where have you been?
Example of a popular song-- It's All Because of Jesus by Casting Crowns.

I strongly approve if the singer is preaching Jesus' real message and not politicized pablum.
