On Saturday, July 5th Brian “Head” Welch, formerly of the mega rock band Korn, will share his journey to faith, how he found God, quit the band, kicked drugs, and lived to tell his story. He will be speaking at Breakaway at 10:30 a.m. and on Cornerstone Festival’s Main Stage at 7:50 p.m.

“The enthusiasm from Korn’s early days was gone. I just sat there in so much dark depression . . . How did I get here? . . . Why is my life such a nightmare? . . . It felt like I was under a curse, honestly. I was stuck And it didn’t look like I was ever going to get out.” –Brian “Head” Welch

CORNERSTONE IS MORE THAN JUST ABOUT THE MUSIC… From the beginning, Cornerstone has been interested in the arts and culture, social concerns and contemporary thought, public policy and practical spirituality. This vital conversation continues in cstoneXchange: an exchange of ideas, but not just ideas — images, too, poetry and prose, partcipation with proclamation, involving body, mind and soul. You won’t find all the answers here, but lots of great questions and plenty of room to ask your own.

2008 SPEAKERS INCLUDE:

Miroslav Volf on Identity, Otherness & Reconciliation
Shane Claiborne (& the “Jesus for President” Tour)
William Cavanaugh on “The Theopolitical Imagination”
Michael Spencer (aka Internet Monk)
Anthony Smith (aka Postmodern Negro)
Karen Sloan (Flirting With Monasticism)
Andy Whitman (Paste magazine) on Music
Crystal Downing (How Postmodernism Serves (My) Faith)
Gordon Melton on “Witch-Hunters & Cult-Busters”

The showdown is upon us. Witness the cataclysmic event as Lester and Kalel (”The Powers of Pain”) face off against Rob and Noah (”Shonuf”) at the 1st Annual Pillar “Lunch Room Olympics”. Who will be left standing?

A Benefit Concert will be held on April 26, 2008 in honor of the McDougal Family at the Charlie Daniels Park Amphitheater in Mount Juliet, Tennessee FROM 12 NOON UNTIL 8:00 PM. Performances and Proceeds from CD Sales will be donated to the McDougal Family from Diane Kay and over 17 other artists INCLUDING Greg McDougal, The Whites, Irene Kelly, Mike Cowart, Jennie Matson, Kate Carlson, Michael Vance & Rodney Indigo who will be performing throughout the day from 12 noon to 8:00 pm. The City of Mt. Juliet has declared April 26 “The McDougal Family Day”. Diane will be performing at 2:00 pm.

The benefit concert will be held in honor of the McDougal Family for three of their four children who suffer from Cystic Fibrosis with the oldest son who has developed Aspergillus, which is a respiratory disease. The McDougals need a home that is allergen free. Greg McDougal, the father of the children is a former songwriter for EMI Nashville and was pursuing a record deal. He even had a song recorded by Atlantic Recording artist John Michael Montgomery. Greg soon learned that God had other plans for him that changed his family’s life. Greg will be performing after Diane Kay.

Christian Singer-Songwriter and Pro-Life Advocate Diane Kay is a resident of Acworth, Georgia which is a northern suburb of Atlanta. Her new CD “HELP ME DECIDE”, produced by Creative Soul Records of Nashville, was released in March of 2007. The album features Diane’s original material and is a compilation of 70’s style rock, alternative, a little country flair and ballads. The new album is described by CD BABY as “Emotional, real life songs of Christian faith and some rocking praise as well”. SOCKSPIDER ALBUM REVIEWS quotes,”Diane Kay’s “Help Me Decide” is many things….fragile, deep, Christ-led, intricate, skillfully written, well produced, and soulfully sung; but most importantly, it was meant-to-be”.

The title song “Help Me Decide” is Diane’s personal testimony of an unplanned pregnancy in her young adult life and how Jesus gave her the strength and courage to give life to her son, despite the great adversity she faced at that time. She hopes to reach many through her music with songs of her faith, hope and love for Jesus Christ. She currently serves as a volunteer counselor at Cobb Pregnancy Services in Marietta, Georgia and is a member of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church also located in Marietta, where she serves in the adult choir as well as a 3rd Grade Choir Director. Diane Kay’s music is available in the “i-Tunes” store and can be heard on www.thespiritradio.net.
