Freedom is one of humanity’s most valued and sought-after ideals, but what does true freedom look like in our personal lives? Natalie Manuel Lee speaks to Nu Metal icon Brian ‘Head’ Welch from the Grammy Award winning band Korn and his daughter, Jennea. They share candidly about finding freedom in Jesus, freedom from addictions and freedom from shame. We see a softer side to this hard rocker as Brian talks about peace, purpose and unpacks the transformative journey of reconciling with Jennea.

I saw him twice in different airports over the years, then I saw him again at Orlando Intl' Airport on Christmas a couple years ago. I had to speak to him then. We talked in the terminal for 45 mins. To go from Korn being my favorite band as a kid, so having a full convo with him about Christ as an adult, in the middle of an airport terminal was a full circle moment. He's the most humble dude you'll ever meet. Thanks Brian for the talk! I hope we cross paths again.
Love this story! So so cool.
That’s exactly what happened to me when I met him just over five years ago in Sky Harbor while I was working. Brian Head Welch is the real deal and he’s a real Christian, you can see it in his eyes when you’re face to face with the man.
@@roteryman5150 amen bro...I could tell when I looked in his eyes through the black guy liner that he definitely follows Jesus....
@Total Sweetheart Sounds like you know him personally. You must have spent a lot of time around him huh? You must be God's right hand... or even be the perfect Christian yourself... be careful with what you say. I spoke of my experience meeting him. Your statement doesn't even speak to my initial comment. Next time, if you're gonna comment, speak from a factual place, not a ridiculous opinion that holds no weight.
@Total Sweetheart thank u
I got too meet Brian at my church last weekend he shared his testimony what an amazing soul Brian has for God 🙏
There's nothing more beautiful than a daughter admiring her father who pulled himself out of the darkness.
He didn't pull himself out of darkness, Christ did. That is the beauty of the Gospel. Man is not capable of saving himself
@@billymiller4719 that is incredibly false. I know plenty of people personally who pulled themselves out of the darkness and made themselves into better people without utilizing the gospel. Never underestimate the power of single minded determination.
@@loboahriman7680 I agree! People can be spiritual without being religious. You can be strong and overcome addictions or any other issues you’re struggling with on your very own. Some seek therapy. Everyone needs to find their own way to fight their demons.
@@ne2952 exactly. The gospel can certainly work. I have seen it. But it's not for everyone.
@@loboahriman7680 In the end though it may very well be the only way.
Dude I was playing your shit in my bedroom at 11 years old. Here I am at 32 with 4 kids of my own. This is awesome. Love the honesty.
Brian's story helped me get sober from Adderall
Man that’s a real addictive drug
@land air sea ikr
Black adder the poisonous snake.
His story helped me get my faith back while in an abusive home. I always think of his story when I start to stray.
@Adam Silver God doesn't listen.
On of my hero’s here on earth. I found Christ, Found sobriety, because of God working through him. So grateful to you kind sir.
This is a huge deal. I just wanted to comment and say how cool that is. Congratulations, and I hope it's still working out for you. 🙏❣
whch God yuo refering to sir?
@@frankjames1955 god of this world :D
@ 12:02 wow!!! 😂 That's funny when he said, "I don't want to get Jesus high. He lives in me." But at the same time that's true genuine conviction. Amen. Hallelujah. To me that shows zeal, a love, and fear of GOD in all of His mighty power. 💪🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
Pride vs humility
Is the line to get ... Pride is hells favorite ....if you can't humble yourself ....you'll never surrender to God fully
Just watched this. YES!!! NO JUDGMENT! He came for the broken, the addict, the murder, the sick, the liar. he came to set the captive free. GET LOUDER BRIAN WE NEED YOUR TESTIMONY. Bless you and you bravery.
What a great witness for Jesus. I am amazed how God has worked through Brian. Beautiful & Powerful.
Beautiful interview! I especially understood the "childlike", "innocent heart" for thoughts that he felt bad because he didn't want to "taint" Jesus by getting him high now that he expected him in his heart! Super sweet !
But Brian’s interview with his daughter is one of the most touching I’ve ever seen. I love Brian’s authenticity and heart toward God. Watched from Africa Botswana 🇧🇼
God chooses broken people just look at the heroes of the Bible. Powerful testimony thank you so much for sharing ❤️
lmao the bible is a story. not real
@@gloriousrunningpotato The Bible is an historical document & can be researched as such. It's echoed in writings from other cultures of the time. The Book of Isaiah has been translated from the Dead Sea Scrolls. IF you really want to know, research is your best bet.
When I heard that Brian became a Christian I was so happy because I'm a huge fan od Korn and God!
You’re in good company, Brian. Our Savior walked a lonely road too.
Im not religious but I'm just glad he found something that helped him put his life back on track.
@rohan john How did he do what?
@rohan john did you watch the video?
@rohan john amen
He didn't find something he found THE ONE ✌️💚🕯️👁️
He loved you too! The King loves you more than you could know.
My pastor at my church is good friends with Brian and through him I have had the great pleasure of meeting Brian twice and he was one of the nicest guys. As a Korn fan of over 25 years, seeing Brian, and the rest of the band as well, where they are today, makes me happy. Brian, I hope our paths cross again some day.
Brian Welch is a real man of God!
Real man of God doesn’t look back and doesn’t go back where he came from. Korn worshippin satan.
@@norby1977 hi pharisee!
@@buttercupks hi.
[KJV] - Matthew - 6:24 "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
Winner apply it to your own life. God hates your Ego and arrogance. I will pray for you
@@buttercupks i was just quoting the scripture. Which is true. He s serving two masters. The worlds king and Jesus.
Im praying for u so your eyes would open.
Revelation - 3:16”So, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth!"
Head is an inspiration. Their music helped me in high school and now Head and Fieldy are still helping me.
KoRn Saved Me From My Abusive Childhood, Pain And Struggles. I Am Now A Father, Selfless, And Full Of Love For My Little One. “Children Of The KoRn”
I love how the Interviewer asked the right questions, she asked all the right questions and I love how straightforward Brian and his daughter are.
So amazing. Jesus saves.
He's trying to eat from both tables.
So do therapists, psychologists, treatment plans, etc.
I always enjoyed Korn, but I now have a whole new level of appreciation for this guy triumphing over all that he did to find what is truly important in life.
I remember when he first got saved. I thought how great it was for new Christians ✝️ I relapsed and it took me a decade to find my way back home to CHRIST ☘️🙏🎵✝️
I did therapy from 7 until 23 years old, chronical depression. Music saved me. Still do. Korn is the band witch held me on my teenager years. My former bandmates did it later on. I was very upset when brian left korn. But, hey my thought was, "If he is alive he can always come back". And he did. I don't know how people would bash him for this. Musch respect, very good interview.
Took my daughter to see HEAD and RED when just starting his solo career in 2011 at a dive bar in Jermyn, Pa. Brian and RED through their music saved my daughter's life😭. I'm eternally grateful to Brian especially! He took the time to personally speak to My daughter after she escaped from her NOW EX HUSBAND! She was cut off from everyone and everything, or so he thought! By the grace of God I found her!!!!!! And would sneak her music CDs and then God took over! Brian, your daughter was an beautiful little girl then. And such a beautiful,wonderful work of God now who admires and looks up to you as my daughter did back in 2010, 2011 till today! We ALWAYS will and have kept you and my daughter's picture on our wall. Thank you for everything!❤❤❤
Watched Brian for years now and I never get tired of his story
You like Korn?
15:35 I’m not sure if you’ll see this Brian (I hope people are sharing the good comments) but THANK YOU for sharing your journey. I needed this so very much!!! You give me hope ❤️🙏🏼
This was incredible... the story leaving his daughter at the boarding school broke me... I cant imagine that with my daughter.. this was truly inspirational. Depression and addiction is a terrible thing.. Life is too short
Agreed! This was fantastic! So happy to hear that we’re not alone in this tough world! 🖤
As a Christian who lived threw the metal scene of the day's I have nothing but respect for Brian for being real and understanding the real power of God! I have been saved from a wicked life as well!! I get it brother!!! In Christ, Troy R
"I Can Get Myself Up In The Morning ". This is what healing sounds like
Amen
One of my new found heroes. Brian has opened my eyes.
Oh how I need this ...HOPE!!! That is what this has reinforced in me . Hope for deliverance of alcohol and drug addiction for my son Matthew. 🙌👏👏👏🙏❤️
God stopped my addiction to alcohol. I prayed to God in rehab and didn't think He was real, nor would my prayer be answered. But I did it anyway and my craving and obsession stopped in that moment. Just stopped. It never came back. God revealed himself to me that day. I accepted Jesus later on and finally forgave myself for my addiction. God will heal your son too.
@@christopherwelch9438 , thank you . HOPE❤
Praying in agreement with you in Jesus name
I'm proud of him good for you brother addiction is one of the hardest things to over come especially when it becomes a routine
So many people have been hurt by the church. The enemy has convinced so many people they are outsiders because they are not spiritual enough .....there needs to be a healing.
I am so happy for Brian and Jennea. God bless them.
This was nothing short of incredible!! It was so enlightening and fascinating to discover all the additional hardships and adversity both Brian and Jennea have faced since they've embraced Christianity!
Lol I love Brian. He is one of my influences towards rekindling my relationship with Jesus
This interview was fantastic. Huge kudos to the interviewer for such a great job. You got a great conversation out of Brian here.
I was only about 4 when “save me from myself” came out. So I never truly understood what his message was, but it helped me deal through my dad’s addiction, I think it helped him too. But to this day, 15 years later I’m still blasting that album.
It's an anointed album, I love it too..
Praise God! He yells for the lost, they have the true gospel testimony.
I never thought Brian went into the den of evil to fall back into. I felt he went back into the den to share what he had found to bring other people out of the evil. God has his hand on Brian and it is not our place to judge. I met Brian when he came to Wichita and if you could have felt the Spirit moving during that show and the great meeting we had afterwards.
blondizsmilz Amen! I like that description, so true! It was awesome reading his book!
It’s my opinion you were hearing from God on this. I’m not familiar with Korn before or after Brian’s conversion to Christ but I listened to his testimony and felt like the Holy Spirit was in this and on him. If it’s good enough for the Holy Spirit? It’s good enough for me.
The whole thing just moved my heart. Thank you.
Brian you are an inspiration to many people. You and Jennea. God bless you both my friends.
Praise The Lord
This gives me hope. They both have their own testimonials and facing along with talking about your issues and then changing the pattern to acceptance is the full circle moment for people I really do believe that with healing.
Wow that was awesome, thank you lord for showing him and his daughter your love and I know through them more people will know you as well. 🙏
Awesome interview, Natalie! Love your sympathetic way to ask thoughtful questions.
This really touching story 😭😭
Thank you hillsong channel
He and Jennea came to a 2020 event several churches put together here in town. He was so humble to everyone that stood in line to meet him.
Probably my favorite Brian Welch interview.
I love "they need to know how unoffendable Jesus is" ... oh my goodness...so true! Love this testimony :) Jennea, I wish you could reach out to Paris Jackson, your testimony sounds like hers. I pray God opens doors for you to share your testimony with teenagers and other young adults... That is my heart!
"...how unoffendable Jesus is..." - a very profound, and true thing.
“How unoffendable Jesus is” wow that’s deep! And 💯 % accurate
You need to watch this!!
ua-cam.com/video/KefYb-dSUfY/v-deo.html
He’s unoffendable because he never existed
He does become offended though. I guess you forgot about the fact that he is a jealous God. He became angry at what people were doing in the temple. He also had his people destroy those that mocked him and them. Become offended easily is another thing, but saying he is never offended is incorrect.
@Feedthe5000 each to their own
This is my favorite show on UA-cam. She's (Natalie) such a great communicator,interviewer. I love her.
#fromSouthAfrica.
I'm sorry, but I feel she lacks any connection to the guest. So stiff and lacking something.
Very helpful ! And thank you Jesus for so good people I have , and they can share their story so truly!! Blessings for you guys !
Such an amazing story, Brian is a huge inspiration.
Wow...what a powerful testimony!!! Good for Brian and Jennea!!!
This is so so so so so soo good! What an awesome & genuine testimony. God loves him 💕
This is really beautiful, christ is always the way.
Cried 😭 such an amazing and moving interview
this man is a man of GOD GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER
Wow, such an amazing episode! Thanks to all the contributors
God bless these two 🙏
Hit the nail right on the head @ 4:10
Exactly how how I feel, just making music so people can enjoy, listening and/or collaborate with others. I'm 42, and I didn't do all the hard drugs.
nah this is one of the best episodes you have! thank you so much for leaning into the pull. the world NEEDS this and things like this!
I love the human perspective of this interview. Big Korn fan. God has him in a business to help others as they self treat their emptiness and demons. He can show them how to fill that emptiness through Jesus.
Thank you for this❤. With Christ all things are possible.
Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". Amen
One of the best interviews. Love is never finished with our stories....
What a light Brian and Jennea are for Jesus. Praise His name forever...
His testimony is life changing!
Love and humility... 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Jesus ❤
Hi everyone ! Thanks for watching today, it’s going to be good!
What songs have been used in this video, please?
Great video, way too many ads though
such great strength. I lobe their testimony. God really is good.
What a sincere and powerful conversation.... the sincerity, obedience and consistency that led them to trust that God will always show up for ourselves...and to never give up... True testimony ✨
This was such a great interview Natalie, very though provoking... I love Brian and his story is so touching and honest and real...Love Brain and Jennea and all that they do for humanity..They are such a light in the Mental Health world .. Thank you for sharing xoxo God Bless.
This was really encouraging! Thank you for such a great interview and sharing with us 💗🙏🏼
Natalie you are soooo gifted. Thank you for the work you and your team do. This was absolutely powerful!
Thanking God and this channel that this came up in my recommendations👏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽 ♾ 💕
This was so touching and inspiring. Thank you for sharing!
16:10 He says what were all looking for... Wish I felt like I knew the meaning of life, and say it as confidently as he did to people.
Every once in awhile i pick someone
From there eyes on internet she
Brought me here your family.
Awesome . Music first when young
And left a lone it like four now .
Jennea is awesome! No idea how much this helped me. Thank you.
Brian is the most gorgeous man alive and his daughter Jennea is just a doll. I love their story they are so inspirational and so loved and I thank them so much for being so transparent and sharing their story with the world . I've been a Korn fan since 98 and I will be forever. This was such a beautiful interview
This was AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing your story and for reminding me how important it is to have a relationship with Christ. I was a big fan in high school and now I'm even a Bigger fan!!!! God bless you!!!
I pray for global sobriety and health 🙏🏻
Love his testimony!!!!!!!!!! Yes that's it focus on God and you !!!!!! God bless
God is doing such a GOOD job with you, Brian 🙏
It's always great to hear Brian's story :)
That's a big thing too say "I love myself" and be humble at same time.
So glad I opened this up :)
this is extremely well done... Thank You for this
It doesn’t hurt that you have the coolest dad that Jesus rescued. God bless you both.
Head... Great message of FAITH and TRUST
there is always room for a crazy Christian metalhead in the confessional Lutheran Church. I had misjudge Brian in the past but I have repented of that, rock on brother and keep fighting the good fight.
What an amazing man.
After hearing his testimony I bought myself a bible I realised I need to get back in touch with God to help me through addictions and mental illnesses
Don’t ever loose hope, no matter how badass you are we all need love. Relationship is necessary
Dynamic. I LOVE this platform. All of the interviews are great and NEEDED.
I appreciate you posting this... the world needs this.
