Me In Motion proves that you can be really awesome rockers and still say Jesus! Their new album titled Me In Motion rocks! They never waiver from the true message, it’s all about their faith and their mission to inspire others to love one another. Me In Motion (MIN) could sell out any secular stadium yet they rock for Jesus and they rock harder than any secular band. They may be just three dudes but they are three dudes on fire for Jesus and not ashamed to tell the world about it.

It was so cool talking to Seth about the band and his faith. He was not ashamed to say that he loved Jesus. Plus he was just really cool to talk to . The band is on tour right now and Seth even invited CornerStone to come hang with him and the band and see the show. This is one show I can’t wait to see. The band will be in Florida this weekend so we will have a special review of the concert for you next week but first enjoy the conversation we had with him in the interview.


So how did you guys get the name for the band? What does it mean?

Seth: Me In Motion basically is, what our mission is about which it to inspire people to not be complacent, to encourage people young and old to reach out and make a difference. It was inspired by a quote from an author named Leon Tolstoy who said everybody thinks about changing the world but nobody thinks about changing themselves. And we really wanted to just inspire people to take a look inside and just make sure that we’re all doing our part.


So how did you guys meet?


Seth: this is the current one that’s been together for like two and a half years. Right out of high school I started working as a producer in an recording studio in Columbus Ohio and I met the other two guys through a couple other bands that they were playing with at the time. That was about the time that I felt like I was really just called into more active ministry which was for me to start a band. So I called the guys up and they were like “yea, our band actually just broke up so yea”. It was kind of like a crazy God thing.


So did you grow up in a Christian home?

Seth: Yea, all three of us pretty much did. We were, I don’t want to say we were pastor’s kids well practically. We spent a lot of our free time in church kind of helping with youth group. I think I got into playing music through that even just helping with lead the praise band my mom was the spare pastor in the church so we spent a lot of time over there just working on stuff. So none of us really ever had kind of a rock bottom experience where we went off the deep in and got into drugs and alcohol or anything like that but. My testimony was a little different. It was one where for me personally I just realized that I found myself waiting around for kind of a story like that. You know you hear people share their testimonies where they go through all that stuff and then all of a sudden they just snap out of it and one day it’s all different. And I found myself kind of waiting for something to happen like that but I realized that God has already blessed me with not even having to go through that kind of stuff. He had already done His part in saving me. So it was just up to me to get up and live out my faith.


So where do you go to church?

Seth: I’m currently a part of a church in Franklin Tennessee and the other guys go to a church in Nashville too.


What scripture do you sort of cling to for just everyday life?

Seth: for me Jeremiah 29:11. I just think every day God knows what He is doing and He knows what is best for our lives, and I definitely cling to that one. And also kind of that one that inspired the mission for the band is Matthew chapter 25 where Jesus is talking about reaching out to the people that He calls the least of these. And I always feel like that’s is truly where my heart for that band is and a lot of our song writing kind of leans towards just inspiring people to the people who are over looked or outcasts or can’t help themselves, the poor the needy, you know just reaching out to people like that around the world.


So who would you say in the bible you relate to the most?

Seth: I was talking to Noah from Pillar about this and I found myself a few times in the story of Abraham and kind of drawing a parallel where he gets to sacrifice his son Isaac out of obedience to God where he’s willing to go sacrifice his son just because he knows that God has his best in mind. And I find myself drawing a parallel to him several times in my life where God asked me to do one thing. For instance when I graduated high school and I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do. Was I supposed to go to college or was I supposed to star perusing the music, or the studio thing (the job I just got offered)? I felt like God has sort of spoke in one direction of my life which was one that I didn’t really want to take or at least I thought I didn’t want to take or at least I thought I didn’t and I went ahead and I proceeded and I was just kind of obedient to Him but then all of a sudden all these other doors started opening up. So it’s just a matter of me walking through the door I felt like God has set in front of me and all of a sudden it was like God did just like He did for Abraham obviously he didn’t have to sacrifice Isaac. And I’ve found myself in that situation multiple times in my life where I was able to draw that parallel of walking in obedience and finding blessings at the end of it.
