As frontman for Stryper and a solo artist, Michael Sweet is an icon of Christian metal. Having paved the way for other bands behind them, Stryper took a lot of the heat from both the Church and secular world, as they continued to dominate charts during the 80's and 90's. Now, in a new era, the band finds itself still producing music, but without original bassist, Tim Gaines. On this episode, Sweet talks candidly about those years when the band struggled with their faith, why Tim had to leave the band and what's ahead for Stryper. Plus, we give you a listen to the title track of Stryper's newest album, Even the Devil Believes, and highlight some other Stryper classics!
