Prince’s Drummer Hannah Welton “Never Scared To Talk About My Jesus”

Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Hannah Welton is the drummer for the band 3RDEYEGIRL and is touring the world with Prince, one of the biggest musicians in history.

She’s also a very devout, open Christian in an industry where Christians are not usually made welcome.

“I’m never scared to talk about my Jesus, I will say though that there is a time and a place,” Welton told The Christian Post. “And you kind of have to be sensitive about faith and religion and how often you bring it up because you never want to come across like you’re trying to shove it down people’s throats.”

“Everything I do, whether it’s music or dance or writing poetry, I do for God and for His purpose and for His will in my life,” she said. “Same as [my husband] Joshua. Literally every decision is made with prayerful consideration. God impacts everything in my life.”

Welton received negative reaction from the social media world last week when she said that scantily clad pop stars are sending the wrong message to the young women who follow them.

“I do really want to clarify that I am never bashing or slamming other artists. My problem with what is being seen and what is happening in the industry goes far beyond the individual people,” she explained. “I’m thinking about the message being received from the little kids that are idolizing these people. I’m thinking more about the spiritual aspect of it rather than the people. My intention is never to degrade people. Everybody has a hustle. Everybody works hard and I would never bash another artist for doing what they love.”

She says the time on the road has given her multiple opportunities to share the gospel with her bandmates and with Prince himself.
