Huntrix
I am a big fan of K-pop Demon Hunters. I love the movie, I replay the songs over and again. I sing along, I dance a little. It’s like watching my favorite K-pop bands, except there’s a story and it’s animated.
The summer Bowie Apostolic ministered in Riverdale, we swapped music. Someone gave us a CD with beautiful Latino music. My friend, Stephanie Pan, shared her favorite K-pop bands. We had a good time listening to secular music after our time in Riverdale ended. One of the things I like about sharing K-pop in an overtly religious setting is no one knows what they’re saying, hehe. It’s great. It’s a great way to connect and not feel pressure to listen to Gospel or Contemporary music only. It’s kind of a secret way of saying, I accept you (I’m not judging you).
A long time ago, my friend Kimberly Day gave me a Plus One CD. It was around the time Contemporary Christian music started sounding like mainstream pop. It was cool. Again, it was a great way to say, I love you (I’m not condemning you).

Going even further back, a minister predicted my cousin would be a well known singer. I don’t know if that has happened yet. The same minister predicted I would be a great leader and warrior. K-pop Demon Hunters combines both predictions and tells the story of a K-pop band that fights demons and wins souls. I totally feel seen!!
My roommate bought me a Huntrix cap. It’s so cool. I almost got the coloring book and back pack, as well. Also, there’s a vinyl and CD you can get in the store.
One of things I appreciate about volunteering and ministry is the development of soft and transferable skills like team work and leadership. Music has the power to bring people together, just like food. We had a very good time- the Rhoads, the Tebares’, the Pan’s, the Gannons, and the Thomases led the community into an uplifting experience ending in a very successful Block Party.
