Throughout our story, you’ll see Bible verses. They remind us — and you — that our journey is part of a much bigger story, one walked before us by those in Scripture who chose God’s truth over the comfort and approval of the world.

We are a family in the middle of a battle — not a fight we chose, but one that demands a choice: Kneel to corruption, or stand for the truth that cannot be silenced. (Joshua 24:15)

We have stood in places where justice was trampled, seen some churches guard image over integrity, and watched institutions turn away to protect their own. We have listened as children spoke of harm from people they should have been able to trust — in their homes, in their churches, and even in the very places meant to guide and protect them in school. We believed them. And when we refused to stay silent, the pushback came — our words twisted, our character attacked, all because we dared to stand with the vulnerable. (Galatians 4:16, Proverbs 31:8-9)

While religious leaders polished their pulpits and hosted pancake breakfasts, the cries of children went unheard — silenced, pressured into compliance, punished for speaking truth. (Matthew 18:6-7)

This isn’t ignorance. It is complicity. (Ezekiel 34:2–4)

Yet even as we call it out, we choose to remember: Jesus still loved the ones who mocked Him. He still died for the very people who nailed Him to the cross. (Luke 23:34)

We are learning to love and forgive — not because the battle isn’t real, but because our war is not against flesh and blood. (Ephesians 6:12)

Then came the harder truth: if we follow Christ, we must love as He does —

Even those who lie about us.

Even those who twist the system to destroy us.

Even those who would crucify us. (Matthew 5:44)

Our music is born in hospital rooms, courtrooms, and sleepless nights — raw cries, honest prayers, even screaming and wrestling with God. (Genesis 32:24–28)

He wants real words, not “right” words. (Psalm 142:1–3)

David cried out in the caves. (Psalms 142, 143)

Jeremiah accused God of lying. (Jeremiah 20:7–9)

The Psalmist in Psalm 77 wondered if God’s promises had failed forever.

These weren’t faithless men. They were real men, in real battles, still choosing to direct their pain toward God — not away from Him.

That’s what our songs are — battle cries, laments, and war hymns for the next generation. It is worship in the raw. They carry the resolve that we will not hand our children — or anyone’s — to the darkness without a fight. (Proverbs 31:8)

We stand firm. We speak truth. But we also choose to love in humility — not because it’s easy, but because it’s who Jesus is. (Philippians 2:5–8)

We honor authority as God commands — but when man’s commands defy God’s heart, we do not kneel. We do not stay silent. We obey God. (Acts 5:29)

We call to our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ:

Stand for Truth. Love through Pain. Be the Difference.
