Check out this great album review of The Shelter, from New Release Tuesday's Kevin Davis. You can read it here.

Jars of Clay will perform at 9 PM CT this Thursday, September 30 in downtown Nashville at Live On The Green, in Public Square Park. Garrison Starr takes the stage at 7 PM, followed by Sixpence None The Richer at 7:45 PM, then Jars at 9 PM. For additional information, visit Live On The Green's site.

Join us this coming Wednesday, Sept. 29, at 8 PM ET when we will be doing a live stream on www.hearitfirst.com. We will perform a few songs from The Shelter and answer as many of your questions as possible. We look forward to seeing you then.

As we count down to the release of our new album, The Shelter (Oct. 5), we are spending time sharing more about each song on the project. Today, track 3: "We Will Follow."

Charlie: I love the imagery that we as a church are carrying on a pilgrimage that started in the Old Testament...wandering, straying, remembering, following....

Dan: We may not know where we are going, we know who leads us, and thus we can sing with confidence even into the valley of death.

Stephen: To make yourself available to God's love and His people is to push against fear and offer yourself to God's service as an ambassador of love and an agent of change.

Matthew: Nothing in our view you haven't made, No one that you've touchd you that you haven't saved.

We originally posted this video back in March, but as we get closer to the release of The Shelter (10/5), we thought it may be a fun video to revisit. Enjoy.
