Why would I plan a secular music festival? That's a question that's been resonating in my mind lately. With the endless competition in the secular music space and giants like Coachella with unlimited budgets, it doesn't make sense to try and outdo what's already there.
Secular music festivals feel like a race to the bottom. More hype, more extravagance, but at what cost? The common thread across many attendees is the desire to get drunk and do drugs, and it feels like the purpose behind the performances is fading away. This stuff is so tiresome.
That's why I see such an opportunity in building a Christian-focused or truth-focused music and cultural festival. It's time for something new, something totally more meaningful.
I believe that the riches are in the niches. There's a gap in the market for an event that caters to people who not only want to have a good time but also want to be in fellowship with others who believe the same thing they believe. It's not just about the music; it's about connecting on a deeper level, celebrating shared values, and creating an atmosphere of genuine joy and connection.
I've seen so much of the secular event scene already, and I find myself greatly limiting my event-attending experience here in the U.S. The desire for something more meaningful, something that resonates with my faith and the path of righteousness, is calling me.
I envision an innovation festival, a place where creativity and faith merge, where truth-seeking individuals can gather, celebrate, learn, and grow together. A place that's not just about entertainment but about enrichment and empowerment. A place that becomes a mecca for those seeking something more profound in their lives.
I know this won't be easy. This new path is somewhat uncharted. But I feel a calling, a sense of duty to create this space. A space where the focus isn't on the superficial but on the spiritual. Where people can come together not just for a good time, but for a good life.
I'm excited about this vision, and I'm committed to making it a reality. The world needs more places where faith, truth, and community are celebrated, and I believe this festival can be one of them. It's time for something new, and I'm ready to take up the challenge.
