Brian "Head" Welch (KORN): Overcoming Addiction and Finding Jesus | FULL EPISODE | Praise on TBN 

I've been a KoRn fan since 1994. Their music has had such a massive impact on my life and has honestly got me through a lot of hard times throughout my life. I remember when Brian quit the band and gave his life to God. I was stunned at the time but over the years I've come to see that it was meant to be. God cleaned him up and set him on the right path. Seeing Brian's journey has helped me with my own. Just seeing the glory of God within him has helped open my eyes... With Jesus, all things are possible.

This is dope...grew up on korn...junior high school I had like 7 different korn shirts. After 23 years of using opiates/xtc/coke I'm now clean since 6/1/18...right on Brian! 🙏

I grew up in Bakersfield, I knew Brian in high-school. He was a really nice guy! I remember him as kinda shy, super funny though! What a great Testimony he has!! AMAZING 🙌❤️

I have been struggling with this and have asked the Lord for help. I woke up and this was randomly in my feed. So here I am at 3am with the message He knew I needed. God Bless you all!

I'm working on finding Christ. I'm new to this, and I'm enjoying the journey.

"HE loves the biggest messes..." Amen! I thank HIM for that every day, brother.

"He loves the biggest messes, that's where God shines!"

I'm a old hobo street kid , I found Jesus 💝 I'm 60 . I remember 8tracks. And korn. Peace brother 🙏💝✌️🇺🇲

This November 28 2021 will be 6 years sober from drug's and alcohol

He didn't get his talent from either parent but rather the LORD gave it to him for his purpose! 🙏

I'm an addict in recovery. Almost 5 years clean now! I was was a hot mess! God picked me up and got me on the right track! I can relate to Brian! God bless!! God can do ANYTHING and save ANYONE he wants to!

Absolutely blow's my mind how God can use anybody, incredible.

I was in the church at a young age, my family walked away. I went through unspeakable abuse and became so angry with God that I turned my back. I became an alcoholic, spiraled into my depression, and even turned to pagan ways. For 15 years I struggled, felt alone and still so angry. This past year I had lost my husband to an accident and began to spiral into the darkest depths. I cried out to Jesus for understanding and questioning why. That night I had a dream about my husband, he hugged me and told me he was ok(he was catholic) then I heard a voice to tell me that I was still loved and that there was a home for me even though I had fallen away. I woke up feeling peace but crying my eyes out. I decided I was going to go to church. I prayed the whole time for forgiveness and for help to heal a broken heart. I apologized for my mistakes and turning away. I asked for Jesus to come back into my life. In that moment I felt this warmth of pure love and in that moment I knew he was real, I knew his love for me and I knew he never gave up on me even though I gave up on him. That for me defined his true and unwavering love for his creation. I grew up listening to Korn and watching his testimony filled my eyes with tears of hope and love. I have now since fully committed my life to God and to the love of Jesus.

Testimonies like this and guys like Brian have the power to reach and touch SO many people in this world. God Bless you man.

Bro you are awesome ☺️... I'm 3 years clean from a 17 year addiction thanks to Jesus ❤️

Very proud of this man for his honesty. Makes me think I may still have a chance to change too.

I had no idea who this guy is before today. Boy do I relate to everything he says. Sober since 2005 and my experience with God is so different today than it was when I got saved 45 years ago. I lost everything and was homeless and like he said God loves to take the broken and heal them. The prodigals come home.

Jesus is Lord. He is the only way to everlasting life.

I feel like the Lord is speaking to me through this message. Thank you soooo much for this message. My disparity is so deep, I felt Jesus in this message. God is good.

I just wanted to point out granted that Brian Head Welch is a famous public figure from the band, Korn. God uses us all, where ever we may come from. From riches, to broken. It doesn't matter. God knows how to use anything that is possible. He opens doors that no man can shut. This showed up on my recommendation page. I don't even listen to Korn much but I knew that guy from Korn. So I clicked. Little did I know, even though this video came out Aug 31st, it became one of the top recent videos on this page. You can call it RU-vid algorithm, but to me, this was God reaching out to others, to people like me. He never left me..He never left you. He loves you. And always will. God bless and God bless TBN for putting this one on RU-vid. Thank you all!

Love the testimony. At the end, I'm so glad that he said that he still takes medication for depression and not to be ashamed of that. Sometimes people think that you have to be 100% perfect for God to use you when it's that thing that you're dealing with that He uses to help you relate to someone else.

Don’t quit on God. I love that. I’ve been fighting my demons for 30 years. I give up on myself and God but in my heart, he is always still there waiting on me. I’m still trying to let him in but its like I’m not doing it right. I will continue Jesus. Please say a prayer for me. I want to be whole. Amen♥️

I turn my life over too god two yrs ago i was baptized im a recovering addict and i grew up on korn ur my true inspiration korn got me thew some dark times then u showed me a whole new world if god can heal u hod can heal me and my friend man is my life filled with blessings now thank u for shareing ur life and ur journey u showed im sure not only my self but others that god is real and can heal god bless

This interview has opened my eyes and made me think about how I'm living my life . Thank you Brian for doing this interview . I've been a Korn fan since I heard you guys play . Thank you again

He seems so chill these days it’s so good to see . Chill and happy . Praise God ✨

I love seeing that joy and peace on your face Brian.

I’m so glad Brian mentioned medication!! 💜 Sometimes it’s a chemical imbalance in the brain. NO SHAME! LOVE this man so much 🥰

I loved this band when I was a troubled teen. Their music justified all of the negative thoughts and feelings I had. I left all of this music behind me when I realized that it was keeping me down. It was keeping me low and depressed. I decided I wanted to be around happier influences. I've struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts my entire life. I try church out from time to time. I find I really don't have much in common with those people. They are just too judgy. they look at me like I'm an outsider because I didn't grow up in a church setting. So I continue to be alone. I try to find happiness in relationships, but none of the women I have dated have been believers themselves. I've tried teaching them about God and Jesus, but they didn't want anything to do with it, so I would instead keep my faith to myself. They would then use my faith against me. They couldn't accept me for who I am. So I would try church again.... same results - no one is interested. No one cares. I came to the realization that they aren't real people and they don't know themselves. I am a real person with real life experience, which probably intimidates them. Brian is the kind of person people like me need to see in church. These people can breathe new life into an environment that is stale and lifeless. I am so happy to see that someone who influenced me in such a negative way in my youth, can influence me in a positive way as an adult.

When he says no matter how many times you fall Keep getting up that one day you’ll get up for good!! That man I tell you 🙌🏻

"He loves the biggest messes, cos thats ere He shines" Love that. Great testimony man!! God so good

I started abusing the spit in 2014 almost daily until i was hospitalized last October 1 and I was told that I was very sick with covid-19, MRSA and Sepsis. I was hospitalized for 45 days. I haven't touched it since I was discharged. Jan 5 I will be off alcohol for 12 years and my last smoke was September 9, 1999. Brian thanks for your inSPIRaTion.

I was thinking about you the other day. God Bless you. Addiction is no longer my friend. 6 1/2 years. From bondage to alcohol. But my mom just passed away Oct 2, from brain cancer in 3 short weeks. So all my past has come to the surface. I love you and appreciate you for being honest, open, and transparent. I am going to write my story. I had to wait until my mom passed. Because I have to be honest in my story. God is my source and my strength. Luv Deb.

I did not ever get into Korn, but I was into Motley Crue. It is inspiring for me to see rock stars go Christian. I appreciate the Christian pioneers who toured with the secular bands like Stryper and Skillet

Jesus is ABOVE all, may his Blood cover and heal whole world and every human being 🥰❤️

The best way to describe it is that you really are a new creation!❤

I heard about KoRn this year, and I couldn't stop listening to their music I was shocked when I saw this but also happy for him of how he turned out God is good, Amen

How my heart is full! Thank you, Brian, for testifying of the LOVE of God! You inspire this 57 year old that loves Jesus and knows how He loves this broken human!!

First of all as a black woman who grew up around hip hop and rap I LOVED KORN!!! And to hear his testimony is what I needed because I am embarking in the entertainment industry, but I never want to lose my soul in it! Him testifying is what some of us who are Christians NEED TO HEAR THIS! Brian God have you gift ideas music, PLEASE KEEP USING IT! 🤞🏾💜🍩

I have been a Christian for most of my life. I was in bands for 28 years. I stopped singing rock music because of the fence straddling accusations and rejection of peers. You inspired me to support ECMC Metal Church for a time. Now God’s Rock is established and growing. My life is a mess so singing is not possible at this time. God may open the door again in the future. I will run with it, if He does. You have inspired me. God bless you and your endeavors.

"My strength is in the relationship. My strength is in the relationship." Amen!!!

When his first book came out. I sat in the library and read it in one day.

Praise God and thank you for sharing your story! I just hit 20 years sober from drugs and alcohol on 08/13/2021 by the grace of God. Through Him, all things are possible.

God uses people in so many different ways. He can save anyone, he can do any and all things. God is good, God is everything. 🙌🏼✝️

Me and my husband have been homeless since 2014 maybe a little earlier. My family won't let him live with me so now I have moved out of the tent into their house and he's still out on the streets. He took certain methods to be able to protect himself and now he's in trouble for doing so. When you have nowhere to sleep in the police continue to tell you to move around it always ends back to math because it keeps you awake. It's a catch 22. I am grateful to see this because I grew up on this music and to see God's testimony inside people shine gives me hope and we are and in times

Brian, the work you are doing for Jesus is amazing, You are a fisher of men. I am fighting addiction and am getting sober so my daughter will talk to me again. One day she will. Through the blood of Christ I can do all things, for Jesus gives me the strength.

This video is awesome, a beautiful reminder of how the precious blood of Jesus can clean you no matter how dirty you are

Jesus, it's amazing. I deal with addiction like Brian, it's in a different form, but it's the same battle. Brian verbalized most of the amazing aspects of addiction, battle, losses and victories; but, the most accurate and beautiful thing he illuminated was to never give up the battle no matter how many losses we stack up. God is a fighter and in a mysterious way...He loves the battle. Never stop fighting, not through the losses, the tears, the layers of thought that go into the mental part of the battle and thank Jesus for the wins and the losses. Find the fight and battle it with peace, love, joy and humility.

2 1/2 years sober, all praise to JESUS‼️⚔️

Wow, Brian's testimony is amazing! Anyone can be saved! Follow Jesus Christ not the world.

Testify with you brother I been a believer since 1991 both me & husband only got cleaned from K2 synthetic marijuana last year in November 2020..This is the longest I've ever been soba one whole year in November But It never stopped God from using me even through addiction.I'm so great full to God & Jesus..Thank you for shareing your awesome testimony..✝️✝️🙏🙏God bless you brothers in Christ..He certainly does use the real broken ones..

Please, pray for my daughter that She may be healed from all of her depression battles and troubles and that Jesus Christ enters her heart and her body and soul !!!

I need Jesus more than anything else.

I'm not a KoRn (or any heavy metal band) fan but love love love this guy, both of you -- thank you for making Christianity cool, and sticking to faith and scripture! Amen brother, stay sober one day at a time, in Jesus' name!

This has made my day, I loved korn growing up and to see that he’s saved and I can meet him one day in heaven is so Fricken cool. 🙌🏽🙏🏽😁

He loves the biggest messes because that is where he shines! That's my living hope for my daughter to get clean and to give God all the glory! And, to be a great mom to her five kids. ❤️💙💚🧡💜

I knew Jesus was real when Brian turned his life over, huge inspiration for my sobriety and my walk with Christ- amen

I LOVE that Brian mentions at the end that he continues to use anti-depressant medication, and mentions that that’s OK! I tried to tell a person over social media that God has saved me from taking my life over and over and over again over the last year, and this person insisted that it was my medication that made the change, and not God. Yes my medication has helped, but I STILL suffered. The medication helped to take me out of the constant mental spiral, but you have to use that edge to start speaking to God and doing works for Him. That’s where change begins ❤️👏🏻💕I started medication March, 2021, started coming closer again to God maybe a week later, and I felt like He was telling me that I was in the wrong place and needed to find a new purpose. In May 2021 I found out my work contract was ending in June 2021, and while I was initially crushed and started to panic, I realized that in coming closer to God, He said “I’m going to take this from you, because I have better things in store.” And after waiting, praying, and watching sermons ALL summer, I’m now blessed with a new job opportunity that I get to start on Monday👏🏻God is always good!

Real genuine dude. We've been in a few of the same prayer groups. He's very transparent and inspirational as is his daughter. Excellent interview, thx. Bless up🙏

I grew up whit addiction listening to this and now also turn to god ! God bless

I'm not a Korn fan.. but youtube algorithms... this was good. Thank you TBN and Thank you Brian. Long story short... I just watched this -- and jesus christ... Jesus Christ. Love and respect.

I remember watching Korn on TRL back in the day. I remember when I heard the news he became born again and I was happy to hear that. To see him and listen to his testimony and his love for Jesus, it not only touched my heart, but I found it inspiring on so many levels. He is sincere and genuine in his story and love for God. I will watch his documentary. I enjoyed watching and listening to this.

People like him can reach everyone. Thank you, Lord, for my struggle and my redemption so that I can share your message of love and peace with the masses. We love you for what you are doing in our lives.

I was baptized well in addiction and it was almost over night i came out of the water a new me i went too church high and meany times left and cry for help then i hit my knees at my bed side one night well my wife and children was sleeping then i new the answer i had too clense my soul thew baptism i hear u when u day ur pastor said bring ur tradh too church my pastor is the same way and i did and i was not ashamed and it was bc i new i was doing it too be better

You can't do anything but praise God for this man's journey to the Truth.

He spoke at our church a month or so ago. He was awesome! God bless you sir!

I've been a fan of KORN for years. And to see Brian turn to Christ is amazing.

Yes absolutely God answers us in provisions trust God. Without God there’s no healing and you fall back into that viscous cycle

I just had Brian pray over me. Never thought that when I was partying to KORN I would have this guy pray over me. TX Brian, God is blessing you man. I am trying to be sober, struggling is actually the right word, but I'll endure.

Yes me too thought I had to clean my life up… He never gives up on us NEVER!! deliverance is a process ♥️🙏

I think God sends us what we need when we need it.

I lost my ex husband to overdose this past year. Watching him go from a functioning addict that hid his problems to a full blown non functional addict that ruined his life was hard as we prayed daily for him. I'm now debating on helping in a ministry program.

Amen!! Brian u need to speak more! So many, especially now need to hear you.

Head's energy and testimony always gets me pumped up. Korn was my first favorite band, and had the privilege of seeing them play with Staind couple weeks ago. Such a great guitarist and dude. Peace be with yall Jesus Freaks on a leash!

Powerful testimony! God bless you Brian! Keep on sharing the love of Jesus! May God watch over you and your family!

Thank you JESUS, thank you TBN, thank you Bro. Welch for your transparency of your journey in CHRIST!!!

First time I had gotten clean, I started to really miss it and God gave me a trip but whilst sober-minded. It was the most amazing thing I had experienced! After a while, I got into another car accident and I slowly began to stumble again. Today, I'm brand new in my walk with Jesus, but I'm not a fool to think I'll never be tempted again. Please pray for me so that I may be in His secret place forever 🙏

It's been years, but I always love hearing Brian's testimony again. I hope someone out there will be blessed by watching this. 🙏❤

God is still writing his amazing testimony in our lives to the glory of Jesus Christ. All we have to be is open and obedient to his still small voice.

I have gotten more help through the Christian church, Holy scriptures and fellowship with seasoned Christian’s than I have in AA meetings. Lord Jesus Christ and our relationship with His Holy Name is the tru path to recovery.

I’ve always been a HUGE fan of metal and Korn. But I recently decided to dedicate my live to God and have given up metal and all things goth that I have loved so much for the majority of my life. I think it’s so great that he too has found God.

I love this guy, he’s so open and honest. I’ve listened to his books on Audible, so worth listening to.

Jesus is Lord God is Awsome and Holy Spirit is ever with us and in us! Hallelujah! Saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone ❤️🙏

I struggled with alcohol addiction for 20 years. I have been sober for 2 1/3 years now. I love music and KoRn and their music were a big part of my youth.

I am a Korn fan. Since high school, I’m also young and black AND a female lol. And most importantly I love Jesus I had no idea about his story. Now I do and I’m amazed !

Praise God!!! God is so good! He can transform and touch anyone 🙏🏼🙌🏼

There's a worldwide call for prayer. Pray for Repentance, Protection, and Give Thanks and Praise. Pass it on, stay strong. 💪🙏

Thank you Jesus for never giving up on me and everyone 💜🙏🏼 thank you for mercy & grace 🕊 ROMANS Chapter 8

I am a recovering drug addict and God has cleaned me up just like so many. We help each other by our testimonies. To God be all the glory!

I love what Brian does!!👏 Praying & helping the fans at KoRn concerts & witnessing for Him despite the rejections! Such a powerful testimony!! Well done Brian!!! 👏 🙌 🙌 🔥🔥🔥

I read his first book and it got me reaquinted with the Lord. Radical Love brother! Don't give up on God.

"Be careful for what you ask for, and that your foundation is ready when you get it" Facts. Absolute facts.

Brian's strategy is a good way to share the Gospel to non-believers.

Were all a work in progress, God uses those He KNOWS are capable to reach others. We may not understand but it Gods process. And if not, then it will be exposed for what it is. So pray Gods protection over Brian.🕊

there’s NOTHING the Blood of JESUS CANNOT OVERCOME

I lost my family,two houses,car and a career in 2007 --- went on early pension still living.Jesus looking after me all the way.Amen.

Super transparent my Respect grew up listening to Korn still love "Freak on a leash" u have showed me alot in this short time more like comfirmed....Keep up the good work Brian!

I love korn and love and death. Brian is amazing…he is an example that all things are possible with Lord Jesus Christ

I’ve never been a fan of metal music. This guy’s testimony is amazing. I’m definitely going to watch this movie.

This was beautiful man, if you’re reading take care and love the ones around you.❤️🙏🏻🤘🏽

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS
