What will people think when they hear that I’m a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it’s true
I don’t really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain’t no disguising the truth
DC Talk
The “Jesus Freak” song, originally written and recorded by DC Talk in 1995 has revealed its genius by continuing to show up in the regular playlists of Christian rock stations around the country, but it may be more than that. Whenever I hear it in Chandler’s presence, I remind him that his dad was an original Jesus freak. That’s really what they used to call us, or probably more likely, what we called ourselves, for we were proud of it in 1970.
We were proud to be freaks for Jesus, but that’s just the irony, it wasn’t so freaky to be a follower of Jesus in 1970; it was pretty cool, in fact. Of all the characteristics that the Jesus movement championed — many of them gladly fallen by the wayside years ago — this one thing is worth repeating and worth holding onto: the Jesus movement was all about Jesus.
Christianity was once all about Jesus. The early church preached nothing but Jesus Christ, dead, buried, risen and coming back in the same manner in which He left, and it spread through the power of the Holy Spirit, whose singular purpose is always to reveal Jesus to people (John 14:25-26).
Whenever the church becomes all about anything other than Jesus, it’s time for the Jesus freaks. In the 1960s, the church and Christianity had become all about institutional religion, liberalism and the death of God. The Jesus movement brought the focus back on Jesus. DC Talk wrote this song in 1995; they must have felt the need to get back to Jesus then (the Christian clutter was mounting).
Today, it’s almost impossible to find Jesus in Christian culture haystack.
Today the church and Christianity are all about politics, morality, prosperity, getting America back, conservatism, safety, traditional marriage and family, pro-life agendas, the right to bear arms… and that’s just off the top of my head. Where is Jesus in all this? It’s a very valid question.
I’m getting excited. I’m starting to feel like a Jesus freak again. Not that I ever stopped being one, it’s just that being one stands out again, like John the Baptist in the wilderness.
The Jesus movement preached nothing but Jesus Christ, dead, buried, risen and coming back in the same manner in which He left, and it spread through the power of the Holy Spirit. It’s time. I’m here to announce: We’re back.
John Fischer The Catch 
Great message and nice that millions can read this and follow the basic message of all about Jesus. I cannot imagine a nicer name to be called than Jesus Freaks. I am glad to see that again. I was very young but, remember and I am so glad today’s youth are learning about a wonderful movement back then that should always be with us now, then, and always.
There was power in the Jesus Movement. That power was in the Holy Spirit. Still in the rebellion of individualism, many of us, Jesus Freaks, began to learn that Christianity was not a religion. Christianity was a lifestyle of servitude to Christ the Son, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit. We learned the purpose and meaning of life is in knowing the Great Shepherd, We learned to hear and know the Shepherd’s voice.
We learned not to ‘preach,’ but to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Those still in the Shepherd’s fold are the Jesus Freaks of the new millennium. It is not about us . . . it is all about Jesus. May God continually bless those who seek to bless the Only Holy Almighty God. May those new to God’s Kingdom find their place by submitting themselves to the Holy Spirit.
God’s blessings to all my Brothers and Sisters around the world.
