"We really like to think of the people who come to our concerts as friends - not fans.  We don't want to come across as better than anybody. We don't ever want to come out on the stage and act like rock gods... I just want them to see us as ordinary guys who can do some pretty foolish stuff sometimes, yet who still want to love their God... We just wanna play music.  We have our problems, we have our sins. It's bad for anyone to idolize us or any Christian artist.  We are human beings.  The only one you should worship is God."
[ Mark Stuart, Campus Life Magazine, May/June 1995 ]

  "We're not great musicians, we're not excellent singers of performers, but God always seems to put us in places where He can use us. we kinda' consider ourselves the misfits of Christian music."
[ Mark Stuart, CCM New Music Magazine Aug/Sept 1999 ]

  "We're all very different guys and God somehow uses our differences." 
[ Will McGinniss, CCM New Music Magazine Aug/Sept 1999 ]

  "Jesus Christ is our Hero, and we try to get kids’ eyes off of us and onto Him."
[ Mark Stuart, Crosswalk.com ]

"Our number one goal is to spread the gospel.  I think people see our joy and happiness as we’re up there having a good time.  We want them to know where we get that from, and that is Jesus Christ." 
[ Bob Herdman, CCM Magazine, February 1998 ]

"Singing about sex and drugs is the easiest thing to do. It's old by now. So pretty much the most rebellious rock-and-roll person you can be is a Christian-rock frontman because you get people from every side trying to shut you down."
[ Mark Stuart, Newsweek, July 16, 2001 ]

"God just took us and in spite of our weaknesses, used us as a tool." 
[ Mark Stuart, Mail Tribune News ]

"Sex really is worth waiting for. Don’t rush into a situation that you’ll later regret. I’m married, and I’m glad I waited. It’s not that I didn’t struggle with temptation. I had some close calls. But I held strong and am thankful that God saved me for my wife." 
[ Tyler Burkum, Breakaway Magazine, 2002 ]

  "Our music has really been blessed. I’m not an incredible singer, Will’s not any great bass player, Tyler isn’t the world’s greatest guitarist—and Ben . . . well, he just has a bad haircut! Generally speaking, we feel God gives us our songs. And He gives us favor." 
[ Mark Stuart, Breakaway Magazine, 2002 ]

"Our hearts' passion is for people to know that we're Christian guys, and that our message is sincerely about God. We feel it's our goal to let kids know that Christians aren't boring, and that rock 'n' roll is not sinful and 'of the devil.'" 
[ Will McGinniss, CCM Magazine, Feb. 1998 ]

“We all believe we were called to do this – not just to entertain, but to evangelize and to encourage.  It’s not just about a band, it’s about a lifestyle. It’s about kids relating to modern day Christianity, which is a lot different than just going to church. It’s about showing them how we can live in and affect this culture, and still belong to God. There may come a time when what we’re doing is redundant, but as long as God’s favor is on us and we keep making records that bring people to the throne of God and into His presence, then we’ll keep on going.” 
[ Mark Stuart, WJQ FM, 2000 ]

"If it doesn't have a spiritual element, it's not worth all the effort.  No secular band could come in with the same kind of effect-- it's just empty:  it's music and then the band leaves and there's nothing left behind."
[ Mark Stuart, 3.16 Magazine, Summer 1994 ]

"Bob will remind me it isn't about us singing, or playing good, it is about what God can do."
[ Mark Stuart, CCM Magazine, April 1996 ]

 "We want the ground to be level between us and our fans. Maybe it's because of the glam-rock era we grew up with. We hate that, and just want to be regular guys."
[ Will McGinniss, Release Magazine, May/June 1996 ]

  "We want to reach kids, like skater kids, that wouldn't necessarily just walk into a church. I think we're gonna target that kid on this tour, and we're gonna make it as wild a show as I can. But when they hear us talk, they're gonna hear us say something different - it'll be about God. And hopefully, they'll be blown away with these bands that can be so wild and sound so great, but still talk about God. And hopefully, that'll be what draws 'em to God."
[ Will McGinniss, HM Magazine, Jan/Feb 1998 ]

"We're ready to take it on and see how God's gonna bless it!"
[ Will McGinniss, HM Magazine, Jan/Feb 1998 ]

"We are leading a rebellion. It's a rebellion for Jesus Christ. It's a rebellion for morals and ethics to come back, for people to take family seriously..."We're leading a righteous rebellion, if you will, and rock 'n' roll certainly does aid in that because it's all about getting fired up, it's all about that sound that gets you pumped up and all of it's for a good cause. We think Christ Jesus was the most radical person who ever walked the earth. I've said it often from stage: 'Those of you who think you're punks out there, I dare you to be like Jesus Christ and be radical and rebellious like he was.'" 
[ Will McGinniss, JAM! Music, Oct. 2000 ] 

"The funny thing about Mark is that he wants to be 'Johnny Hollywood,' but he's always going to be Virgil Owensboro.  He wants to be the guy who hangs out in Hollywood and dresses really nicely, but he can't hide the fact that he's from Owensboro, Kentucky.  It comes out of him every once in a while - the 'Opie-ness'.  He's fun, but he's still got a bit of the mullet inside of him."
[ Ben Cissell, CCM Magazine, April 2003 ] 

"We're not a band that's terribly musical and indulging ourselves on stage to please ourselves.  We're a band that's more about the audience and getting them stoked.  It's seeing the kids' faces light up when we play their favorite song.  That's what we feed off of."
[ Will McGinniss, CCM Magazine, April 2003 ] 

"Will is the heart of Audio Adrenaline -- the oil that keeps us spinning.  He has the huge compassionate heart and works the hardest, specifically on the road."
[ Mark Stuart, CCM Magazine, April 2003 ]

"I want to stress that anything good in our lives and our music is God's doing. As I've said before, I don't think we're that good, but God can do great things through us if we let him."
[ Will McGinniss, Campus Life Magazine, July/August 1998 ]

  "So many times we get in the way by trying to preach to someone about what God has done in our lives, when the most effective thing we could od is to just life up the name of Jesus.  When people see Jesus lifted up, they want to experience that.  He's so beautiful, they immediately fall in love with him and want to get to know him."
[ Mark Stuart, WJQ FM, 2000]

"We’ve always been a band that embraces missions. We’ve written songs about it like “Hands and Feet” on the “Underdog” record, and I was a missionary growing up in Haiti. My parents were there, and it’s always been something that’s been a part of our heart and part of our walk. We wanted to make sure that we would send out a message that we want kids and adults as well to know that worship goes further than just singing praise songs. You can worship God with your life."
[ Mark Stuart, Atlanta Christian Weekly, 2003 ]

"God has given me a ministry to the kids-and freaky kids, whom I love, because I was one of them. Being away from Satchel and Addison is much, much harder, but I still enjoy the stage, seeing a kid light-up and, maybe, experience God for the first time."
[ Will McGinniss, Focus On the Family, 2002 ]

"God wants to stretch us.  He wants to put us in places where we don't feel like we're adequate because He wants us to lean on His strength and power. He doesn't want it to be easy for us because He wants all the glory to go to Him and for Him to be the strength of it... I just lean on God and realize that He's going to put the words in my mouth.  As uncomfortable as it is for me, when we go ahead and do things that aren't comfortable to us, God blesses them."
[ Will McGinniss, Air1, Dec 2003 ]

"the worship movement has been huge all over the world, but it shouldn't stop in our church. Let's go into this world and worship with our lives... You don't have to walk onto a bus and hand out flyers to worship God. You don't need to go to church and play a guitar. You don't need to take a Bible and thump them on the head to tell someone about God. You don't need to be passive either. You can be totally on fire and use your life as an example."
[ Tyler Burkum, FreshMinistry, 2003 ]

"The message is going to be that what we're doing and what everybody on stage is doing does not matter.  What matters is your relationship with Jesus Christ."
[ Ben Cissell, AgapePress, May 2002 ]

"Christianity is about rebellion.  Jesus Christ is the biggest rebel to ever walk the face of the earth.  He was crucified for his rebellion... Rock 'n' Roll is about the same thing -- rebellion."
 [ Mark Stuart, Pensacola News Journal, March 1998 ]

"I was basically one of those statistical averages. I was carrying a lot of weight --extra baggage I didn't want to carry... [but] no matter what situation you're going through, know that we have the Creator of the universe and we call him Daddy."
[ Will McGinniss, LCMSnyg, 2004 ]
