Dave Pettigrew is another artist I’ve been listening to lately and really enjoying. Sadly I’ve taken far too long to put my thoughts about the album down in type.
The tone of his message and lyrics are a refreshing breath of the basics of our beliefs and how we feel towards the blessings we’ve been given. His music and lyrics strongly remind me of Steven Curtis Chapman. I’m not the only person who thinks that either, as after reading other reviews of his music, others were stating the same thing.

I first heard and sang Chris Tomlin’s “How Great Is Our God” at a men’s retreat for our church about three years ago.

A friend of mine that’s a youth pastor in Ohio recently had this post and included this Casting Crowns video below of their song “Does Anybody Hear Her”

After seeing this group in concert, I can honestly say that it wasn’t a concert at all but a worship service. I love the ministry that Casting Crowns does and equips others to do as well.
