Casting Crowns
After two Platinum-selling albums, one Platinum and one Gold Live Project, numerous awards and one of the most successful headlining tours in the industry, one might expect a different Casting Crowns. Those that meet this exceptional group, however, quickly realize they are down-to-earth people with ministry at the heart of what they do. The album, The Altar and The Door, strikes a bold chord that the Christian life can and should be so much more than that. “When we have an ongoing, developing relationship with Jesus, life is not about me, my wants and my needs, It’s about being the hands and feet of Jesus in other people’s lives.” It’s this kind of honest intentionality that is the core of The Altar and The Door, Casting Crowns’ most daring project to date. A collection of songs that dare to mark the distance between Sunday and Monday mornings, between the content of our heads, the content of our hearts and the disconnect between in between.
