Todd White Church Samples Aerosmith As a Worship Song

During Todd White’s October 24th Encounter Night, the worship band featuring Jake Hamilton broke into a rendition of Aerosmith’s ‘Dream On‘ on account of the anointing Hamilton felt in the church service, and as a way to encourage the people there to dream again and to ‘dream with God’. He even did the famous falsetto during the cover.

It’s more theological tomfoolery from White, who many had thought had repudiated his goofy behavior after delivering an emotional sermon where he admitted he was not preaching the full gospel– leaving people to wonder if he’d been saved. We put on our discernment caps and explained this is how we would know he was repentant. Sadly, the next week he demonstrated that he was not. He was last seen explaining that Jesus BECAME Child Por******* and Bestia**** on the Cross.

Hamilton told the congregants after the song:

“I feel like there’s an anointing in the place. I felt it since last weekend. That’s why I wanted to sing this song because I was like, hey, listen. We need new ideas. We need innovators to rise up.’  And I feel like God is marking innovators and inventors. He’s awakening your dreams. And I just want you to begin to speak your dreams out- the crazy stuff.

I just want you to begin to speak the thing you thought you were going to be when you were eight years old. I want you to just begin to speak those things out. Begin to just dream with God for a minute. Disciples are ones who dream with God. A disciple is one who dreams of God. A disciple is one who can dream with God.

I want to dream the dream of heaven with you. Untie myself from earth and see what we can do. Oh God I want to dream with you. Untie me from this baggage and let’s see what we can do. Awaken the dreamers”

  1. Might be showing my age, but one of the guys from Petra did a cover of this song. I believe it was either Greg Volz or John Schlitt. Such covers of secular songs might be ok for a concert or album, as long as the lyrics are clean, and the audience very clearly understands you’re not endorsing the band, all their other songs, or what they may or may not stand for. But doing such covers should be kept to a small minimum, if at all, and it certainly does not belong in a church service.
