Conversion.  Hobbs was half way there with the counter culture scene he had built, the Theatre Gallery, The Prophet Bar and Deep Ellum Records. Challenging people to be themselves, be free, express themselves, make art, not follow hollow leaders of this world. Then his janitor invited him to church, "church, that's a bunch of suits asking for money", Hobbs replied. The janitor assured him his church was different. So, Hobbs went with him to an apartment in Oak Cliff and with 13 black people and a tambourine, he was born-again. Finally, he knew why this world is so greedy and unaccepting of individuals. God opened his eyes to see the "Kingdom of God" which exists here in the same space as this temporary world, a kingdom of love and truth and creativity. How could he know? Church leaders look like businessmen standing over their faceless flocks and answering to bankers. God was faithful to send a humble prophet to give Russell David Hobbs the missing piece of the puzzle called life. Russell poured out the liquor, canceled 50 bands and started preaching that Jesus is the Artist who created this whole place. Jesus hugged the lepers, set prostitutes free, and called the religious leaders a bunch of snakes. Oh yeah, and He died for everybody's sins, then rose from the dead.
