It was nice to be back in the Hoosier State today, if only for a few hours. Today we played at Maryland Community Church. The stage was a bit tight, and the room only fit around 1,000 people, but we weren’t complaining at all. We were in fact thanking the Lord above that we were able to be indoors out of summer’s harshness. There is something to be said about not sweating while standing still.
This was day two of our three show run, and it was an awesome and intimate show. The band played more songs tonight than they’ve played all summer. Mac made a good point when he mentioned that it was the smallest crowd of the summer, but by far one of the loudest. Our good friend Trevor Morgan played a short opening set by himself, then joined in for “I’ve Always Loved You”, and “God of Wonders”. Also, TD backed him up in the middle of their set on his tune “Jesus Rides the Subway”.
The band decided that this was the perfect setting to debut a song from the new album. So after running it in soundcheck a few times, they played the song “Children of God”. The crowd ate it right up. Mac taught them a background vocal part, and they sang it well. It is sure to be a fan favorite in the near future.
I always have a sense of being at home when we arrive in Indiana--mainly because I was born and raised there, but also because there is an underlined sense of midwestern American hospitality and community. Thank you Indiana for a great night. I’ll be back soon.
Thank You for an AMAZING SHOW!!!,,and taking the time to celebrate Jesus with us!!! ROCK ON!!!!

This night was sooooo amazing! I have to say it was probably the greatest show I've been to. (Out of nine concerts) The guys seemed to have a lot of fun and were really relaxed and comfortable. I am so glad that Tai had Make Your Move added to the setlist since I didn't ask Mac to play it like I was supposed to. Tai really wanted it on YouTube. :) It was sooooo hot outside! Praise the great and mighty Lord above that the concert was inside instead of in that 105 degrees of hotness! But we did stand outside waiting to get in for about 30-60 minutes. But it was totally worth it! The Q&A, M&G, and concert... all made this night one of the greatest of my life.

Boy I love this group. Had an opportunity to see you in Fresno couple of years ago. Loved it. I do have to admit though, I like your hair much shorter. When are you coming back?

Great show in Terre Haute, guys. Thanks for making it a stop. The small setting was awesome. I really enjoyed getting to meet the band prior to the show also and hearing some of their thoughts on what it's been like to be together for the past 18 years. Continued blessings on you all, I'm looking forward to many more years of listening to your music and hopefully a few more concerts in Indiana.

Terre Haute and MCC is home. It's not too often that we're upset about being stationed in Germany, but this was one of those times. You guys HAVE to come back next year when and we'll be there! :-)
