While discussing the songwriting and recording process between The Gospel and Where I Belong, Levi shares his experience in embracing religious diversity and confronting anti-gay rhethoric within the Christian Church. Enjoy the interview and catch more music and photos(!) of Levi at his website.
Also, my cockatiel, Stinky, makes a special cameo. He likes Levi, too.

the thing i don’t understand about levi–and this article–is that he does NOT embrace religious diversity…his album was even called THE GOSPEL according to levi. “embracing religious diversity and confronting anti-gay rhethoric within the Christian Church” — if you’re confronting anti-gay rhetoric, then you’re doing the OPPOSITE of embracing diversity!
i wish he would pick one or the other, instead of saying one thing and doing the other.

Erick, the words above are my summation of Levi’s words. For a better understanding of what he actually said, listen to the podcast. Then, maybe you will better understand Levi, if that is your goal.

hey, i like levi’s music. not sure what i think about the religious thing. but i was actually going by what he says in his music (and sometimes, his interviews), contradicted by the other things he says.

It’s a work in progress I’m sure as a musician with a strong religious background. On that, I can relate. Got a favorite song from Levi?
