Edwin Culver’s Story:

Music heals.

You probably landed on this page because you believe in the healing power of music… like I do.

But at the same time, you might also feel that music doesn’t heal all wounds.

Maybe there’s a deeper wound… an eternal one… that still feels unhealed.

So I’d like to share my story with you.

When I was younger, I grew up in a Christian home and attended a private Christian school.

But I was really hurt and burned by Christians.

The hypocrisy.
The anger.
The judgment.

I was also getting in a lot of trouble.

Around that time in middle school, I discovered the band Nine Inch Nails and the song Terrible Lie.

The lyrics spoke to my situation so deeply.

It was in that moment that music met me where I was.

Music started healing something inside of me.

It gave me something I had always been looking for.

But as I grew up, I became harder and harder toward the idea of Christianity.

I never stopped believing God existed.

And I never really stopped believing that living my own way was sinful and creating bad consequences.

But I was trying to fill something that was missing.

I pursued all kinds of things that the world offered me...

Yet, none of them filled what I really wanted.

Eventually, I hit rock bottom.

I made some horrible decisions.

All of the consequences caught up with me.

And in that moment, I turned myself over to God and said:

“Alright. I’m ready.
Wipe me out.
Kill me.
Send me to hell.

I’m ready for the consequences.”

And it was in that moment… that I met Jesus.

I felt God’s forgiveness.

His grace.

His mercy.

And I realized something incredible.

There is an all-powerful, all-loving God who is perfect.

And despite my sinfulness…
He loves me too.

He wants a relationship with me.

That was the moment I truly trusted in Jesus as my Lord and Savior.

A few weeks later, I was baptized.

And I began turning my life around.

Trying to live for Him.

Making Jesus my Lord and my King...

Trying to devote my life to serving Him, serving others, and sharing this good news.

My life wasn’t perfect though.

There were still ups and downs.

At one point I started a business and lost everything.

There was a day I couldn’t even feed myself.

My bank account was at zero.

And that’s when I learned what God means by trusting Him one day at a time for daily bread.

And here's the thing...

Something amazing happened.

I never once went hungry.

I never lacked shelter.

I never lacked relationships and friends.

Instead, I realized something deeper.

Not only had God saved me from my sins…

He was with me every single day.

No matter how high or low my circumstances were - I learned that I can trust Him.

Since then, I’ve devoted myself to partnering with God.

Like we see in the beginning of the Bible in Genesis :)

When Adam and Eve are called to be fruitful, multiply, and have dominion over the earth...

I believe we’re all meant to live as gardeners of creation.

Partnering with God in building and creating AWESOME stuff.

That’s why I make music.

And that’s why I try to create music that turns brokenness into moments of healing.

But I also want to pause for a moment to recognize that music by itself can't heal all wounds...

And maybe you’re here reading this and there’s a wound in your life.

A wound that music… or anything else in this world… hasn’t fully healed.

If that’s you, I’d love to share with you about what it might look like to try Jesus...

To see if He might bring the healing you’ve been deeply searching for.

If you'd like to explore that…

There’s a button at the bottom of this page.

It will take you to another page that explains what it means to follow Jesus...

And what that could look like for your life.
