Learning to Trust God as Father
Can you trust God when life has taught you to rely only on yourself? For Jamie Kucinski of XIII Minutes, learning to know God as Father meant learning a kind of trust he had never known growing up.
Jamie shares how he met Jesus, walked away from faith, and eventually returned. After his little sister was murdered, grief and depression brought him to the end of his self-reliance. He describes what he encountered in Jesus: “He didn’t judge me. He didn’t condemn me. In fact, quite the opposite, he sat with me.”
Jamie is the drummer and founder of XIII Minutes, an alternative metal band from Tulsa, Oklahoma. We talk about the mentors who saw something in him, the church community he calls home, and why the band’s ministry often happens in conversations after the show. We also discuss finding truth in secular music, the meaning behind XIII Minutes, and what it means to Jamie to be forgiven.
