Speaking the Language “Of Men and Angels” –
...nothing matters if we’re not sincerely loving people. That was really weighing on my heart during the period of song writing for this album.
Emery –
...we’re Christians and we have a job and that’s to play music and of course [our faith] is going to affect our music, of course it’s going to affect our lyrics...I don’t force my beliefs on anybody. But my faith and my life affect who I am as a person and whatever I do as an occupation.
Andrew Peterson –
So I did my best to cover that ground to say that, like it or not, I do believe He is the Christ, Son of the Living God. Everything in my life points to that. So we felt that was the exclamation point on the record. No matter how much darkness you sing about on the album, at the end, He is the Christ.
Daniel Kirkley –
...I began praying for God to move me out of what was comfortable in my life and into areas of deeper challenge. I was seeking out places that would promote personal and spiritual growth. It was the onset and process of walking through that season that renewed my sense of love and wonderment in my Heavenly Father.
Eric Peters –
...having made a handful of records, I full well realize that I, as a part of the music industry at large, certainly don’t amount to a whole heck of a lot. But as a member of Christ’s Body, I can only hope that my capillary of art (if I may so call it) will be of some minor significance in the life of someone in their own lurching championship of faith.
Robbie Seay –
I feel like, as an artist, whether we're believers or not, we're to observe and create and write about all of life around us - about all the turmoil and the struggle and the beauty, we write and create out of that. I think that's especially so as believers. We swing the spectrum of pain to joy and we should be writing about all of that.
Robbie Seay –
We've got a family, a church community and we do want to be intentional about putting ourselves into a community and actually letting folks know and love us no matter if we're playing music or not.
Kemper Crabb –
Now, Christmastime is a time when our whole society - Christian or not - gets excited about this time of renewal. It’s the one time of the year when people aren’t afraid of Jesus.
Charlie Hall –
Because I know I've got Jesus, I was trying to heal their souls, their hearts. I'm trying to write in a way that would deliver people, show people they are loved in their nastiest place and show my friends around me who aren't Christians that have embraced me as a Christian and I've embraced them as non-Christians - I wanted to write a record that had language they could grapple with.
Charlie Hall –
Walk right toward the cross and live big and He walks with us through every step. It was different. I was absolutely a Christian before, but this was a different place for me in terms of knowing and needing Jesus.
