The lead singer of the rock band 3 Doors Down like to talk about his faith and will continue to do so because it’s the “greatest thing” he can do.

Brad Arnold spoke about his love of Jesus and sharing that love with his fans.

“I don’t really talk a whole lot on stage, to be quite honest,” Arnold told Fox News Digital. “But — if I’m going to use a moment on stage to talk, then I want to give glory to God. And I want to take a chance to tell people that Jesus loves them when there may be some people that may not hear it from another place.”

3 Doors Down is best known for the song “Kryptonite.” The band was at Hersheypark Stadium in Pennsylvania on Aug. 23 when Arnold shared a message about faith. That went viral.

“This world surrounds us with a message that we’ll never be good enough, we’ll never be strong enough, we’ll never be beautiful enough, we’ll never be rich enough. Whatever the case may be. Certainly that we’ll never win. Social media surrounds us with those messages all the time. It’s driven down our throats every day, that we’ll never be good enough and that nobody really, really loves us,” he began, according to a video on YouTube.

“My friends, I just want to take a second to tell you, that’s an absolute lie,” he said. 

“You are loved. You are enough, and you will win. Not only can you win, but you will win. You’ll always be enough for one reason. And that’s because Jesus Christ loves you,” he said.

Arnold then spoke with Fox Fox News Digital about when message he shared with the audience.

“Honestly, I had my apprehensions about it because I didn’t know how it would go over,” he said. “And furthermore, when I was praying about it, I was like, ‘God, I don’t know what to say.’ He’s like, ‘don’t worry about it. I’ll tell you what to say. I’ll put the words in your mouth.’ And he has every night.”

Arnold said the response has been positive since started sharing these messages last year.

“I get so many messages on social media that have all been encouraging. I expected a few people would be like, ‘shut up.’ But none of that. People are hungry for it. It’s a message of hope,” Arnold said. 

Arnold acknowledged not all fans may be receptive to such messaging, this offers him a chance to “plant a seed.”

“You see some looks on a few faces in the crowd roll their eyes, you know, like, ‘I don’t want to hear this.’ But, you know, they’re still hearing it,” he said.

Arnold has been sober for nine years and said he understands how people don’t feel like God can love them because of what they’re going through. 

He also seen what God can do firsthand in his own life.

“I was an alcoholic for probably 17 years. In January, it’ll be nine years since I’ve had a drink. And I give that completely to God because I know that I couldn’t do it. I tried to quit myself for years and I couldn’t do it,” he said. “And finally I went to treatment and I gave it to God. And I’m not taking it back. And I didn’t want to hear it when people told me at first, but people planted seeds in my life, and they grew over time.”

Arnold said his message to his audience is simple — Jesus loves them.

“I’m not trying to shove religion down their throat or anything like that. I just wanted to simply tell them that Jesus loves them because this world needs it. This world, to a lot of people, is a really, really dark place. And it’s not for all of us, but for a lot of people it is. And to shine a light in darkness is the greatest thing that I feel like that I can do with my platform,” he said.

The band is debuting a song that tells listeners the importance of continuing to go on when times are tough.

“We have a new song that we’re playing at the shows, and it’s called ‘Never Look Down.’ Really it’s a very positive song,” Arnold said. “The hook line of the song is, ‘When you’re on the edge just keep your eyes up and never look down.’ And I think that’s important for us to do is just keep our eyes above the horizon and stay positive and keep pushing forward.”
