Brad Arnold, the lead singer of the rock band 3 Doors Down, has been sharing a message of faith and hope with his fans at concerts. The singer, who has been sober for nine years, says that he feels called to share the love of Jesus with others because it is a message of hope in a world that can often be dark and discouraging.

"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, perhaps best known for its 2000 hit song "Kryptonite," was performing at Hersheypark Stadium in Pennsylvania on August 23, when Arnold decided to share an uplifting message about faith that quickly 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 video footage of the event shared on YouTube.

"My friends, I just want to take a second to tell you, that’s an absolute lie," he continued. "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 told the tens of thousands of people in the audience.

Arnold says that he has been sharing similar messages during concerts since last year and the reception has been surprisingly positive.

"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. 

While he knows not every one of his fans may be receptive to the religious message, he still sees it as an opportunity 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.

The singer, who is nearing nine years of sobriety, says that he relates to people who don't feel like God can love them because of the struggles they're going through. But he's also seen what God can do 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. 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," he explained.

"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 continued.
