American Idol Finalist Shares of His Faith in Christ and His Goals, in Video
"…I said I wanted to be a loving father, a faithful husband, and a servant of all. I very much want to be those things…"
American Idol (AI) finalist, Jason Castro, openly shares his faith in a video on the site: IAmSecond.com.
Filmed in a cutting-edge, but very low-key style, the video shows Jason with his guitar and without, candidly talking about his song choice in one of the weeks on the show, and of how he came to accept Jesus Christ as his Savior.
Regarding the song Hallelujah, by Jeff Buckley, which he performed on AI, Jason says, "…that word 'hallelujah.' It's a special word—a word reserved for God. To be able to say that on a stage in front of millions of people, and to praise my King, it was… I got real excited about that."
After Jason performed that song last season, it immediately rocketed to #1 on the iTunes download chart.
"Music has that power… to move, or to just give you emotions of any kind," says Jason in the video. "That's where I've given my heart to Christ, and I think that comes through, [though] sometimes people don't know what it is. They're like, 'What is it?'—people are drawn to it, they don't know but it's there behind the music, there's something bigger. There's always something bigger behind whatever you're doing.
"American Idol asked us to sum up our life's goals, and I said I wanted to be a loving father, a faithful husband, and a servant of all. I very much want to be those things, but I think the 'servant of all' is the main thing. That's what Jesus came to be, that's what we're called to be—to give our life for God, for those around us, and to give our life for the good fight. That's what I'm here to do."
