This Rockstar Learned God Is Real By Seeing Matthew 11:28 ‘Everywhere’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch is sharing how he found the “meaning of life” after God kept showing him the same scripture.
‘”Come to me,’ Jesus said. ‘Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.’ I didn’t know what it meant, but I just, I know I needed rest for my soul, for my emotions, for my mind,” Welch recalled. “So I started seeing that scripture everywhere.”
“People start giving me the scripture. I’d get a gift, a Bible written…I’d go to church. I’d be up there and the pastors and everybody was telling me that’s God telling you, that’s your verses,” he explained. “And so it tripped me out that God was real ,and they were teaching me that God was real, and it was really cool, and I got like, instantly, addicted to that. I was like, I have an addictive personality, but this is a healthy addiction, you know.”
Before Welch became a believer, he was addicted to meth. He used it for 700 days in a row before he surrendered the addiction to God. He says people thought he traded his addictions for “religion.”
“But I actually traded it for the meaning of life and…God is the meaning of life,” he said.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Welch finding God. The performer is grateful.
On Jan. 9, Welch wrote about his testimony on Instagram and shared a photo from his baptism. He said:
It disturbs me to think where @brianheadwelch might be today, if on January 9th 2005, I didn’t come crashing into a life changing encounter with light>love>forgiveness>goodness>mercy. On that day, (20 YEARS AGO TODAY!), a couple of powerful things were set in motion:
1. hatred of self started to dissipate.
2. love and forgiveness for God, self and qothers was birthed.Every single promise that I searched for and found in Scripture, along with other promises revealed spiritually to my heart over the years have manifested as true and have fully convinced me. But many of those promises I was being taught at a time when I was losing it all, watching everything come crashing down in my life. I had every reason to call B. S. because I was seeing the opposite take place in my circumstances. But I chose to hang on and keep believing those promises.
The biggest lesson I learned by not giving up while going through those challenges: a house (our life) is never allowed to be demolished unless the purpose and intent of the demolition is to completely rebuild; the foundation will be much stronger, and the house (life) way more beautiful. I know mine is. ❤️
Never lose heart when you’re being tested. The test will prove you are faithful and the rewards will start to fall in your lap.
