Joining the band to hit 16 cities in October including a stop at the Bryce Jordan Center Saturday, October 7, are past tourmates Crowder and Andrew Ripp. Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. May 12th at ticketmaster.com.
This spring the band has been touring across the U.S. in support of their latest best selling project, ALWAYS ONLY JESUS, which feature's the No. 1 hit "Then Christ Came" and their new single, "To Not Worship You," coming May 19th. About the song, lead singer Bart Millard said, "I think with this song, I better realize what being still and knowing that He is God means. A lot of times when we have doubt or we're questioning stuff, I think ultimately it's because we're not stopping and remembering who God really is. When you take the time to remember who God is, then it's easy to ask, ‘who are we to not worship him?’"
