Michael Gungor and Derek Webb and Jennifer Knapp and Jars of Clay — these fallen musicians were squatters and thieves.

They were borrowing God’s glory. They were producing beautiful things that did not come from themselves.

They benefitted from what they now rebel against.

Why I sometimes still listen to them: What they once enjoyed has been taken away from them and given to me.

By analogy, they forfeited the kingdom-copyright to their own works.
