@realjenhatmaker: This is the untold story of “Testify to Love” — and it’s the first full podcast episode with @michaelpassonsmusic, @melissagreene79 , and @tyherndonofficial all together — giving us the inside track. For many of us, this Avalon song was the literal CCM anthem of the 90s. We knew every word by heart. Maybe you sang it in church. At youth camp. In minivans and sanctuaries. Maybe even at an awkward interpretive dance event. IDK, it happens. But here's the irony: While millions embraced the song's message of unconditional love, what most didn't know is that one of the voices behind that song eventually lost his place in the group because he was gay. More than 20 years later, Michael is reclaiming his voice, his story, and the song that helped shape a generation. And he's on For The Love with Melissa and Ty. We talk about faith, exclusion, friendship, healing, and the courage it takes to tell the truth about who you are. "Testify To Love" sounds different now. It means more now. And it's definitely more beautiful than we ever thought.
