I heard that Matt Wertz was performing for free at Bass Auditorium, so naturally I wanted to go. Jorgy and I ended going together, not really knowing what to expect. Apparently the night was meant to be this Christian call-out, where Christian organizations met together for good music and a gospel presentation by Joe 
White (An ex-coach at Texas A&M).
White (An ex-coach at Texas A&M).I never really followed Matt Wertz that closely, I had a couple of songs from when he first came onto the scene 6 years ago, so I wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised when he came out w/ his first set b/c his voice was really clear and smooth, kinda like a mix of John Mayer and Jason Mraz. He was a bit awkward at times, but his stage presence was very chill and the songs he chose were light and upbeat. Unfortunately, we were sitting in front of 8 guys who spent the entire time making snide comments, so I was too chicken to record pictures.
After 4-5 songs, who stepped onto stage, except freakin Colt McCoy. His 
faith was something I had always read about, and I thought it was really cool how he was not just an athlete that just says he's christian, but he actually lives it out. Anyways, he gave a testimony about rededicating to Christ in his sophomore year, and encouraged the audience to be active in living for God.

During the response time, he helped with nailing the "sins" to the cross and holding it up with a bunch of other guys. That really spoke to me that such a "big-time" guy was willing to
do such bizzle work because he really wanted to help. Much respect, Colt.

One thing that stood out was the analogy of us being bond-servants, CHAINED to our master because we want to serve Him. That imagery never really made sense to me, but it's such a powerful picture of how our hearts should be.
Anyways, I've posted a couple clips of some of Matt Wertz below, so check it.
