Former Christian rocker Stephen Mason’s life has been shaped by guitars, barber shears and the Bible. Now it includes being a Major League Soccer super fan in Nashville, Tennessee. That is thanks to a conversation with a fellow fan and a biblical sports pun that ultimately landed him on ESPN: “Let my people goal.” The longtime member of Jars of Clay ordered a Moses costume and a banner sporting the amusing turn of phrase. Soccer Moses was born and then took on a life of its own. His face flies on a flag outside the new Nashville stadium and he’s often found in the team’s supporter section, where its most devoted fans gather.
