P.O.D.'s Sonny Sandoval on Rock Bottom

(Filed under: Spirituality)

"When I reached than moment of being at rock bottom, I prayed to God. ... That was the point where I said to myself, 'Enough messing around, enough goofing off and getting into trouble. There's more to life than just little old me. I need to do something that means something and find something real.' "

-Sonny Sandoval, lead singer for P.O.D. Recent P.O.D. albums include Payable on Death, Satellite, The Fundamental Elements of Southtown, The Warriors EP, Brown and Snuff the Punk. The Still Payin' Dues DVD is also available. Payable On Death. (Source: MTV.com, November 24, 2003)

hey POD,
this is 14yr old josh bacich, in Modesto,CA. I just want to tell you that your music brought me back to God and I think that you guys are such a blessing to the non-believers. i once saw you guys preform at the war-field in San Francisco and as you guys preformed I thought to myself that that is what I want to do, to bring people to christ through music. i have had a band for 2 years and it's great, but we have only played three shows and they weren't very good. i'm wanting not to just play big shows, but to reach out to people with the word of God. I want to feel the excitement of knowing that people are being saved through our music. I just would like to ask a big favor, if I could get in contact with you by e-mailing me at jade_scar047@yahoo.com, that would be the greatest thing you could do for me. thank you very much guys and may God bless you in many ways.

Josh Bacich

I agree with you the way you view the issue. I remember Jack London once said everything positive has a negative side; everything negative has positive side. It is also interesting to see different viewpoints & learn useful things in the discussion.
