What Was Brad Arnold's Heartfelt Message To The Crowd?
He Was Critical Of Social Media
On August 23, Arnold, 45, reportedly said the following, reportedly according to video on YouTube: "I feel like I can identify with this song more than most of our songs. [He was referring to "Away from The Sun."] 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."

Arnold went on to say that, "Jesus Christ loves you so much that he made you just the way you are, just the way you're standing there right now. He also loves you to let you know that you're not complete. I promise you there's more, and you will win."
He also said that even when we fail, "you're still the one that Jesus loves."
According to the Post, the 3 Doors Down singer led the throng as they said in unison, "I am the one that Jesus loves."
