You can check the full line-up at at the SD in the OZ Artists page and stay tuned because we will be adding more bands in the weeks to come, including local/regional bands that will be playing on “The Spot” stage.

Self Destruct in the Ozarks is shaping up to be a killer show! With huge names like Newsboys, Thousand Foot Krutch, MxPx, Pillar, KJ52, Seventh Day Slumber, Gwen Stacy and so much more we know that its gonna be off the chain!
The coolest thing is that this whole event is a testament to God’s grace. It’s not very typical for a first-year festival to attract such big names, so all the more reason to give God the glory!
If you are looking for ways to help us out, we would appreciate all the prayer we can get! We’re aware of the spiritual warefare going on, and this event has already attracted attacks on many different levels. We serve a great big God who is so much bigger than we are, and we are confident that He is in control of all things.
You can also help us out by visiting our “Tell People!” page for Self Destruct in the Ozarks. We’ve got tons of promotional tools available and more are on the way!
Thanks for all of your help and support!

Have you ever heard something that really changes your perspective and outlook, something that cuts to the core and affects your soul? For me, this past Sunday was one of those times where I heard something that impacted me and, if put into daily practice, will effect dramatic change.
This particular sermon impacted me because of the relevance it has to Self Destruct. Self Destruct means to “Die to Self, and Life for Christ”. What does that mean exactly? What does that look like? It’s a life long pursuit. We’ll never fully exhaust the answer, but in our first Self Destruct devotional we address this question in depth and will continue to do so in future volumes. I hope this brief outline serves to help and encourage everyone in the daily process of dying to self as much as it did to me.
The sermon was given by my pastor, Milton Vincent, and is taken from Romans 11:36-12:8. Here are some of the points that really impacted me.
1. Get over yourself and be all about God.
For from him and through him and to him are all things” (Rom 11:36a). If we aren’t all about God, then we are are all about ourselves.
2. Know and be motivated always by the Gospel (Rom. 12:1)
3. Become a part of a fully surrendered community sacrifice to God.
4. Don’t let the world press you into the mold.
5. Be perpetually transforming (Dying to Self).
6. Never stop renewing your mind.
Again, I hope you benefit from this as much as I did. As soon as I heard this message I thought the collabo shirt we did with The Wedding called “Renewed Mind” which is taken from the same passage of scripture. Be sure to check out the verses associated with each of our shirts, I know they help me tremendously as a constant reminder in my daily pursuit of dying to self.
