United is in Jacksonville, Fl at my good friend’s church in less than a week – tues, 4/17 – i’ve got 30 tickets and our youth team has about that many … taking van loads – can’t wait for it!
all the silliness aside… ‘Point of Difference’ is really a good tune! I’ve been playing it over and over on my iPod for the past few days and will likely be debuting it at our church at the end of the month.
was it really a dress? he is high though…..but high on what? talks like it’s more of an acid trip than pot. (anyone ever see Hendrix’s Rainbow Bridge? there’s a conversation in there where you get lost within three sentences.)
anyway…….good songs…..dingleberry trying to explain it.
Hey people, I believe that God has a solution for any “problem” here on earth… Just respect each other!..OK..
Instead of criticizing just pray for Joel Houston that he will have a helper comparable to him.. (and so he can get some ‘fashion’ advice from her in the near future…..)
And what really matters is the talent Joel has received from above to bless us with…
Furthermore he is very talented, committed and passionated for his Savior, Jesus Christ!
Blessings…

this all makes me laugh so hard.. now really coming from a canadian perspective.. if someone can pull of having a mullet, having long surfer hair, having a motorcycle jacket, wearing pastel sweaters, and playing guitars and STILL looking like a rockstar.. while leading a team of 5 other musicians.. and maybe more.. and still got a crazy aussi accent.. its all good.. I’m sure he’d laugh too. he’s just a crazy talented kid anyway who loves jesus
Us Americans need to accept that the Australian culture is a hair bit different then ours and stop being so close-minded.. Isn’t that what Christian get criticized enough for right now anyway, being close minded?? I’ve met Joel, he’s a stout guy. I’ve been to Australia, it’s different. You guys chill..
My children let us not get caught up with men who wear womans clothes and smoke dope. But show much love to one another as i have loved on you
Much love J.C
Joel houston is a very special person. I really admire what’s he doing for the LORD.. All that I can do is just pray for him.. You too, if you want (?!)….
I am so disappointed in you guys!!!! Joel Houston is such an inspiration to so many ppl. He writes amazing songs that help ppl connect with God. His passion for Christ shows from thousands of miles away!!!! So if you guys are Christians and are sitting here critisizing his clothes and hair (which by the way is awesome!!!) you guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Take an example from him and go spread the word of God.

Hey Dorota Dorothy! I definitely agree with you !! way to speak up!! I've met Joel Houston twice and he truly is a solid guy! So his style is different or his accent is different? NOT A BIG DEAL. The fact is that he has dedicated his life and all he is to spreading the gospel and love of Christ and more importantly he's not ashamed of the gospel and what it truly stands for. So to all the haters posting. stop. It takes a real man of God to do what he has done in his life and it easily takes cowards like you all to cut him up for nothing. Keep doing your thing Joel and to all the supporters, keep it up!! God Bless
Hey United Canada!! Thanks for replying to my post. Unfortunately I've never met Joel but I see what he is doing for God and his ppl, and you are right it does take a real man of God to do what he has done. So Joel, ppl will try to bring you down but don't let them. Keep up the amazing work!!! God bless you. You are always in our prayers!! <3 Dorothy
HI PEOPLE! I just want to say that I love Hillsong United, and I love Joel's songs, I think he is a great worship leader. But… I think that the way he dress is not going to do a better or worse christian of him… I think he is not so good with "fashion"…
Remember: the only important thing is live FOR JESUS and PRAISE HIM.
And I think that Joel and the rest of the Hillsong team are doing a great job with that.
*GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU VERY MUCH*
P.S.: Sorry if I had any mistake with the languaje… I speak spanish all day.. haha
(*Vicky*)
I think Joel Houston is super super HOT!!!!! I am a Christian and totally love hillsong music. The thing about Joel is his passion for God and people. he is an amazing guy and each time i hear him speak he challenges me to be a better person in Christ Jesus. As for his styling …. i think people get so pre occupied with what they look like and want to be at the height of fashion. people need to leave all that stuff behind and just be who they are and focus on loving and serving our Awesome God. I personally like Joel's 'look'. I think the whole laid back surfer look with a hot aussie accent and a wonderful heart are a great combination.
I saw Joel in concert in Maryland last month. Actually he was wearing a corny plad shirt- you know the kind your mother would make you wear when you were a little boy.
He did seem a little "spacey", tired…thats his personality I think. Im that way naturally too.
My thought:
"Id rather hang out with a spacey Joel Houston than a person with a critical spirit- ANYDAY
I'll tell you what he admitted during the concert:
"Im really nothin special, dont think I am, please"
Ive never heard anyone say that before at any concert.
Joel, you are a broken human being and you need a savior. That puts you in good company Joel:
with about 8 billion of us.
hey mike what makes you say that he is broken… i mean i know we all are but what did you get out of him saying he's nothing special… that's just being humble and down to earth
hey shaz ____Joel definitly did project being humble & very down to earth…but what was different here is that he took it "one step further" than anyone else… his body language,, etc changed and he put head down and began to speak softly, almost inaudibly, just for about 20 seconds- about 2/3 of the way through the concert. I wasnt sure what he was communicating so I asked the person I came with and he also interpretted it the same- Joel Houston has his own personal set of struggles behind the cool/awesome exterior. Keep him in your prayers. I dont know what he was refering to specifically…. We all must pray for each other, for the devil wants to sift us, especially worship leaders- like Joel….recall Jesus told this to Peter because he was the one chosen to strnghen his brethren. Joel and other worship leaders- we need to adopt them in prayer- not just dig them for what they do worship and for us. In any case- it made us more respecting of Joel- not less. I witnessed a side to Joel- an unusually introspective side where most of us dont even want to admit to others exists. Luckily, Jesus meets us there.
I just want to know why he’s single. Is it by choice or is there no one in his life right now that he feels is right for him or that God has not yet brought that person.
Those with the he is high on acid or weed comment,i’m sure you are Christians because if you were you wouldn’t be saying such things.The Holy Spirit would convict for that but,pretty sure you do not have the Spirit living in you.You can see he is tired the guy works hard.But must admit that the dress comments are funny.But apart from that NOT FUNNY.
RAIN IT DOWN
Dude. Whatever he’ smoking, he needs to smoke less of. Or maybe more of.
Thanks for the link love Los
how come he didnt mention why God told him to wear womans clothing?
that may sound more harsh than I attended. just a valid question.
Sorry thats just Australian fashion at the moment… our bad!
he does look like he’s wearing a dress! but he writes great songs, so….
dress chest hair. solid
that s/b dress PLUS chest hair. apparently wordpress doesn’t like plus signs. here i’ll type a billion of them
The new term is “lady clothes” thanks to Darrell from ‘The Office.’
We are allowed to say our songs are pretty cool right? I think that’s legit. I’m glad they left that in there.
Moo Goo Says:
“I need a bong to match my rad shirt…Am I allowed to say that?”
tough crowd

I’m sure he’s a good dude.

do you guys live in the 21st century…….? Joel is totally cool and doesnt shop at Walmart..whats the problem! get some fashion sense Bible Belt

Wow, Joel looks really handsome now with short hair. I could fall in love with him (if he’s still single…)
I am so disappointed in you guys!!!! Joel Houston is such an inspiration to so many ppl. He writes amazing songs that help ppl connect with God.
