Bradlee Dean, founder of the nonprofit Christian organization You Can Run, But You Cannot Hide International (YCRBYCHI) and host of the radio show Sons of Liberty, spoke to the Grassroots Tea Party Activists of Arizona Thursday evening in the West Valley. Dean, an ordained minister and drummer for the Junkyard Prophet, a Christian rock band, founded YCRBYCHI in 1997, which gives presentations to students at school assemblies across the country.
The fiery, entertaining Dean started his radio show in 2002, which is now nationally syndicated. He produced a mini-series documentary in 2011 titled My War, where he “slings rocks at the political, social, and immoral giants of our time and confronts society’s ills.” He said his band has “purposely turned down five record deals in order to maintain control of their uncompromising message.”
Dean told the audience about his presentations to youth. He and his wife, Stephanie Joy, a talented singer, perform at the events. Joy started out her career as a child actor, but walked away shortly after marrying Dean when she finally got an offer as a leading role in a movie because the role conflicted with her “beliefs as a Christian.”
Dean said he has given presentations to 365 high schools in 25 different cities nationwide. The ACLU and others have tried to get him kicked out of schools. His message goes over the Constitution, teen pregnancy, abortion, gun control, environmentalism, media bias, education reform, and more.
