A Review, Sort Of: Great Thoughts on "Shelter"
It is worth taking a few minutes and reading these eloquent thoughts from Jackie Chapman, where she is sharing her thoughts in response to the song, "Shelter," from our upcoming album (10/5).

Purchase "Out Of My Hands"
"Out Of My Hands," the first single from our upcoming album, The Shelter (available 10/5), is now available to be purchased from iTunes, Amazon and other digital retailers.
Thoughts on "Out Of My Hands"...
Charlie: The only thing we can do in response to what God has done for us, is to give our hearts away and love unconditionally, as a response to how we have first been loved.
Dan: We cannot save our own lives, nor can we change our own ways. God has given us to each other, failures and success combined.
Stephen: It's humbling to know in our lowest moments that God's purposes are made complete in and through our weakness not our strength.
Matthew: Never has there been a more suffocating delusion to live under than the one that says our lives are ours to control.
THE SHELTER: AVAILABLE OCTOBER 5, 2010
Our upcoming album, The Shelter (Oct. 5), was deeply inspired by an old Irish proverb that says, “It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.” Both physical and spiritual community are ideas that are a part of every song on this project. We would love to hear your stories of community: What does it mean to you? What is your community story? How are you living in community?

Check out this fantastic review of The Shelter, from our friends over at JesusFreakHideout.com.
Soulfest 2010!!!
It was another amazing year at Soulfest. We did a late night rewind show to benefit BloodWaterMission which was the four of us and Christopher Williams filling in on percussion www.christopherw.com.
Here are some pics from about and around the festival. Thanks for all the amazing New England Fans who made the main stage performance an UNBELIEVABLE evening. Truly one of the best nights of the summer. Love to you all and see you soon this fall with Brandon Heath!
Also had the privilege to catch up with some good friends at the festival and to catch Matt Maher's set. He is one of the artists that we were so privileged to collaborate with on The Shelter project. Can't wait for you to hear his song with Dan and Sara Groves, called "Love Will Find Us All."
