John L. Cooper / Skillet

Petra was the first band I ever loved. Not only did they rock, but they taught me scripture, encouraged me to stand up for Jesus, and helped fan my faith into a flame. They were trailblazers, pioneers, missionaries, evangelists—and rockers like me are standing on their shoulders.
- John L Cooper / Skillet

John Elefante / formerly of Kansas

Petra was much deeper than just a Christian rock band. I slowly realized after I worked with them throughout the years, that their ministry was the epicenter of what they did, and I never knew that Music could have that kind of effect on people’s lives. It truly was a life-changing experience for me.
- John Elefante

Kevin Young / Disciple

“My life was forever changed the day I heard Petra. They helped shape me lyrically, musically, and most important of all spiritually. They have been the soundtrack of my life. Their music was a constant companion to me as I went to Jesus in worship, in prayer, in desperation, and in friendship and love. This band is one of God’s greatest gifts to me.”
- Kevin Young / Disciple
