TobyMac New Song Reunites DC Talk Despite Kevin Max Renouncing Christianity
Toby Mac has released a new album, Life after Death, his first since his 21-year-old son Truett, who for years battled substance abuse, passed away from an accidental drug overdose of fentanyl and amphetamines in early 2020.
TobyMac once said of the opportunity to attract secular fans and have his music appeal to larger, mainstream audiences, “If I ever cross over, I’m taking the cross over,” and this album is no different, with most songs having a call out or references to his faith and trust in God.
The album, written as a cathartic release for the pain he experienced at his son’s passing, has multiple tracks lamenting his loss and his belief that his son is in heaven now. In Rest he sings, “Rest, take a breath/ Push aside the noise and feel the air inside your chest/ Blessed, my child, you’re blessed/ Fall into the arms of God and rest your weary head.” In The Goodness he likewise enjoins, “Everywhere that I go/ You keep showin’ up/ Lord, You make me wanna shout it, oh/ You’re the goodness in my life.” In Faithfully, he shares, “I may never be the same man/ But I’m a man who still believes/ When I cried out to You, JesusYou were there faithfully.”
Typically viewed as a Contemporary Christian Musician who produces ‘Christian albums, some fans are up in arms over the singer and record producer reuniting with his old DC Talk bandmates for the song Space, on account that the song features former bandmate Kevin Max, who has completely abandoned the faith and is now a pro-choice, pro-LGBTQ atheist.
The song reads:
Space.
Tony Mac Ft. Michael Tait, Kevin MaxI’ve replayed it like a thousand times, I rewind it in my head
I can tell you that I lost my mind, or what I should’ve done instead
‘Cause the way that I felt when we parted ways
Got me all in my head, got me countin’ the days
Got me hopin’, got me prayin’
You are in my heartBut what do we do with this space
What do we do with this space between us
How can we start to erase
How can we start to erase this space between usWould you step across a party line?
Would you walk into my cold cell?
Can you see me in a different light?
Would you meet me at the well?‘Cause the way that I feel when you look my way
Got me all in my head, got me starting to think
Is it too far? Are we too scarred?
Yeah the heart is there, but what do we do with this spaceCHORUS
I got nothing but love for you
(Nothing but my love for you)
And I know you feel the same way too
But this space, what do we do with this space between usWhat do we do with this space
This spaceIt keeps no record, it keeps no record of wrong
It keeps no record, record, recordLove keeps no record
Love keeps no record
Love keeps no record of wrong
Love keeps no record
We’re never too far gone
About the inclusion of Max, he told Billboard:
“The second I wrote the first lines [of ‘Space,’] it was definitely something I wanted to do with DC Talk. It feels very personal because it is. I wrote it about friends that struggle and friends that feel warm toward each other, but don’t know what to do with the space that’s come between them. I climbed a mountain with those two brothers. Those are my dear friends, and they always will be. We experienced things together that I’ll never experience with another person — so I wanted to honor that. I was so glad that they both agreed to be on it, and so grateful that they would honor what we did, and the friendships that remain.”
