“Innocence In The Music Industry” by Chris Sligh

“JFH 20 Retrospective Part 3 – The Long, Hard Road,” by John DiBiase

We certainly take music’s relationship with the internet for granted now. Previously, we had to wait until we could take a trip to a local Christian bookstore or music seller to pick up an album on release day. Now, we can buy the album digitally on our computer or phone […]

“JFH 20 Retrospective Part 2 – The Birth of ‘The Jesus FREAK Hideout'” by John DiBiase

In early 1996, my family got the internet at home for the very first time (dial-up! Ugh…), and I used to love scouring the new sites on the web dedicated to the individual bands or record labels and the few existing Christian music media sites at the time, like CCM […]

“JFH 20 Retrospective Part 1,” by John DiBiase

Twenty years. It’s kind of amazing to even think about doing ANYthing for two decades. I’m hesitant to say “any job,” because Jesus Freak Hideout was born out of a passion for something and was never meant to be a job – even if that’s what it did become for […]

Music And Basketball: Switchfoot And Needtobreathe – The Warriors and Spurs of Christian Music  There are a few distinct things I’ve been a fan of since childhood (good books, good movies, good Chinese food etc.), and chief among them are basketball and music.

“20 Years Later: Revisiting Audio Adrenaline’s ‘bloOm’ and Newsboys’ ‘Take Me To Your Leader'”

The consumption of music has changed immensely in 20 years. In early 1996, I remember hearing new music from Audio Adrenaline and Newsboys in tiny snippets on their new websites on the internet–which was a surreal and entirely new way of hearing music at the time. I remember hearing how […]
