THEY
not necessarily a congregational
worship album.”
The album’s opener “We Are Yours”
is a jubilant celebration of our
relationship with God that showcases
Stephanie’s distinctive vocals along
with the band’s powerful harmonies.
That continues throughout the album
on such potent songs as the
infectious “Awake My Love” and the
tender ballad “Here’s My Heart.”
“Over and Over” is a standout cut
that was inspired by a girl named
Alicia who helped lead Adam to
Christ. “She intervened in my life
perfectly and on the exact right day

and it changed my eternity,” says
Adam. “I was intending to carry out
the final deed [suicide] that very day
and God sent this young girl who just
loved fearlessly and was brave and
she spoke worth and life into me and
it got my attention. It grabbed my
heart.”
God is opening new doors for I AM
THEY and the band is walking
through prayerfully and expectantly.
“It feels like as we’ve gone on this
journey and we’ve walked into places
we never thought we would walk
into,” adds Matt. “I just feel like God
has called us to just hold that

standard in John 17. Just like in that
prayer as He’s saying, ‘Set them
apart and make them holy,’ God
challenges us along the way to hold
that line and to hold that standard
up. It’s a privilege for us as a band to
do that, to look a little different, to
try and really stand out as followers
of Christ. We want to let the words
from our lips and let our actions and
our character stand out among
whatever church we walk into or
wherever we might be. And that’s our
goal--- to really let people see Christ
in the band, not just to look like a
band, but look like disciples.”
