A generation was told to surrender everything for Jesus. A generation were told they were history makers and could change the world. But what happens when the music fades?
In this powerful reflection, Lucy Sixsmith revisits the experience of growing up in the Soul Survivor generation. From the euphoric highs of worship tents and passionate songs to the quiet reckoning of adulthood, Sixsmith traces her journey through the charismatic culture of Soul Survivor, a movement that promised transformation, belonging, and divine purpose. With clarity, compassion, and wit, she explores the longing for purpose, the dangers of power, and the cost of unquestioning faith. When the Music Fades offers a vital reckoning with the past, and a search for grace in what remains.
Lucy Sixsmith is a writer and researcher in English literature and the history of books and reading. She is a Junior Research Fellow at St John’s College, Cambridge.
