About this listen

"I will never forget that day!" The true story of Young American Showcase, a radical experiment in evangelism, as told by those who lived it.

Between 1968 and 1991, over ten million teenage students across the United States and Canada had a shared experience: one day they were called from class to their gymnasium, where they cheered their way through a rock and roll show the likes of which most had never seen. Students saw young men with rock star personas, iconic clothes, and wild hair, whose musical talent was only exceeded by their extreme showmanship. In fact, you may still have a Free Fare, Edge, or Freedom Jam poster rolled up in your closet. Thousands of students each month came back for an evening show, and it was there, in the final few minutes of the night, that the illusion of “sex, drugs, and rock and roll” so prevalent in that era was broken. Then, as hard-core rockers testified about their life in Jesus, roughly a million young lives across 23 years were changed. Along the way, something else happened.

Every year, dozens of young people joined in this radical experiment in evangelism. Within each one of them, a transformation occurred, and an indelible bond formed. This is the story of God’s Rock and Roll Army, the jaw-dropping and miraculous events they experienced, and the lessons they learned. From their accounts, you will find the key to building strong faith leaders, and you may find the courage for your own radical experiment in evangelism. What did you do with your ticket?

Young American Showcase was founded by Lowell Lytle. The incredible true story of this company's history and its radical young team was first introduced in "Diving into the Deep," Lowell Lytle's highly entertaining and inspiring memoir, also available as an audiobook. "God's Rock and Roll Army" gives 60 of the musicians, managers, trainers, and support team the opportunity to tell their own amazing stories, 44 in their own voices, carefully woven together by the author.
