Popular Worship Leader Says He Wants To Create 'Mainstream' Songs About 'Sex' and 'Relationships'

Chandler David Moore is a singer-songwriter based in Atlanta who has become popular in recent years as the lead singer for Maverick City Music, winning accolades like multiple Billboard awards, Dove awards, and Grammys.

We’ve written about him on a few occasions, after he issued a defiant apology” following his salacious wedding photos going viral, as well as when he appeared on ‘The View’ and sang a worship song while dancing with Christ-hating host Whoopi Goldberg. In a video shared by Robin Martyr, Moore reveals his mission of branching out to sing more sex-focused secular songs:

I’m on a mission to give Christians globally more life music. Music that speaks to more than your relationship with God. Because the Bible does (unintelligible), Proverbs is all about wisdom in life, wisdom in relationships. You have a whole book, Song of Solomon, it’s about relationships, love, sex. So I’m on a mission to give us music that explores that, this kingdom mindset in mainstream songs and melodies.

It’s unclear if this will be the new direction of Maverick City Music or rather a solo project. News site The Dissenter was pessimistic about this plan from Moore, writing:

“These self-proclaimed Christian bands are doing nothing except using the Church as a means to launch their secular careers in music. Time after time, these bands go through the same cycle of deconstruction, using Christianity to become famous, speaking out against what the Bible says on social or moral issues, and then ultimately abandoning the faith altogether…..Every single Christian rapper who has sold their soul to the secular music market has deconstructed and apostatized.”
