Problem is, you are a musician.

The money is not in Christian music. The best of the best do not gravitate to this genre. But, the expectations are low, and the product meets the expectations. The worst thing I hear is “Jesus gave me this song”. I say, “no he could not have. He is a better composer than that.”

I rememeber hearing that some Christian Music radio program directors judged the material on JPMs. As in Jesuses per minute. “Good tracks” had high JPMs, becuase if someone was moving through the dial there was a better chance they would hear the word “Jesus”, and the Christian rock fans would know that this station was for them. Otherwise they would flip on past, as the actual songs were normally so bad. Also a long stretch of no Jesus mentions might make some folks change the station, but if they heard the word they might linger on, even if the music stunk.

Don’t know if it’s true or not.
