Sevendust guitarist Clint Lowery shared insights about his spiritual journey in an interview with ChurchLeaders.
“I’m really close with the [other] guys [in Sevendust], obviously. We’ve been together so many years. They knew of all the health stuff that was going on,” Lowery said. “And when I’d gotten saved, I would have a few conversations with ’em, but they had kind of pulled back a little bit from me, which was another thing.”
“It was like God was taking people and kind of, in my mind, moving them away. People I thought were gonna stay and talk to me and help me and all that, everyone kind of pulled away ’cause there was nothing that anyone could say,” he continued. “Through that, I really built my relationship.”
“Going into it and then talking to my pastor and talking about, how am I gonna enter re-enter this world? If you look from the outside, some of the messages in the old songs, they’re not really aligned with some of the beliefs I have today,” he added. “But I do believe that there is a reason that all of this happened.”
“I know my guys [in Sevendust] are good guys. They’re sinners, and they made mistakes. I was one of the worst of ’em. So I just used the opportunity to take my relationship, taking that to the tour, taking my attitudes toward others, my patience level, my kindness level,” Lowery explained. “They didn’t feel a critical spirit for me, which I’m sure at first they were, like, ‘Man, he’s gonna come in Bible thumping on us’ and all this. And it was the opposite, actually.”
The guitarist completed his first tour as a saved Christian. This milestone marked a significant point in his spiritual journey.
His transformation emerged during a crucial period in both his career and personal life. He now navigates his new faith while maintaining his position in one of metal’s longest-standing bands.
Metalhead Zone revealed that Lowery described his recent tour as his most profound spiritual experience. This marked a fundamental change in his performance style and band interactions.
Protestia reported that a health crisis last year accelerated Lowery’s faith journey. This event led him to seek deeper spiritual guidance and reflection.
Blabbermouth noted that his newfound sobriety and spiritual path strengthened his connection with fans. Many relate to his journey of personal growth and transformation.
Sevendust has released 14 albums and earned numerous accolades throughout their two-decade career. Lowery now views this success through the perspective of his faith as he continues with the band.
