INSIGHT

Play Outside Church Doors To Reach The Lost

  • Brook and Kyle argue Christian bands should tour secular stages to reach people who wouldn't enter church basements.
  • Touring with Whitechapel and secular heavy bands opened doors to fans who later asked questions about faith.
ANECDOTE

Acacia Strain Recognized Them After One Set

  • At a showcase, Vincent of The Acacia Strain approached Brook after Impending Doom's set and later invited them to finish the tour, launching a long friendship and multiple tours together.
  • That early mutual respect turned into recurring tour partnerships and guest appearances.
ADVICE

Pray With Touring Friends When They Ask

  • Do engage privately with touring peers who struggle; Brook reports bandmates routinely pull him aside to ask for prayer or guidance.
  • Use personal relationships on tour as Gospel opportunities rather than public confrontations.
