These are the type of thoughts that run through my mind on a daily basis. I don’t share them with many people for the mere fact that I don’t want them to be alarmed at the ‘circus-o-fun’ that is my brain. Some may find it scattered and disheveled, but I find it to be a den of wisdom where insight is born. So Journey with me as I bring up a few things you have thought about, but have been to scared to voice to the American public.

- If Rudolf and Bambie got married…would the baby be able to fly? Wait…was Bambi a boy or a girl??

- Why does the easter bunny have eggs? Seriously…I actually have never made that connection.

- When are we going to recognize Chuck Norris’s Birthday as a National Holiday?

Discuss amongst yourselves.

Hi everyone!

I hope all of you are getting into the holiday spirit!  Lot’s of candy canes, tacky sweaters, and the big man himself….Santa!!!

We are all enjoying some time home from the road.  It’s really nice to see family that we haven’t seen in a while and to catch up with what’s been happening over the last year.

In the spirit of the season…..Here’s your question:

What is one of your funniest Christmas memories!?

Please share!

We just finished an incredible weekend playing out in Billings, Montana…the people are friendly, the snow is beautiful, and the elk are everywhere!!! Well, not everywhere, but we’ve heard stories of elk that come and steal food out of your pantry in the middle of the night….can you believe that?? In other news, we are looking forward to Christmas time and being home with our families. This has been an exciting past few months, and we have loved meeting so many of you out on the road. We wish you all a MERRY Christmas and hope you’ll spend some time remembering the “reason for the season” (as my grandma put it), the birth of Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago!! We love you all.

P.S. What are your favorite Christmas traditions that you’re looking forward to over the holidays??

Ok, I know it’s spelled Turkeys but it just seemed like a fun title for a blog. Thanksgiving is just around the corner which means the guys and I are getting a much needed break. This Fall has been one of our best yet. We have been having an amazing time out with Acquire the Fire and can’t wait to kick it up another notch in the Spring.

I filled out an interview for CCM magazine the other day talking about giving thanks and it really reminded me of all God has blessed me with. It’s really quite amazing when you take a step back, and look at your life how much you really have to be thankful for. So that said I would just encourage everyone this season, as cliche as it might be, to take a moment and regardless of your situation, give thanks to the Lord for what He’s blessed you with. Also we’d love to hear about it here on the blog! Leave us a comment about some of the things you’re especially grateful for this season!

So we are heading to Arizona tomorrow and can’t wait to worship with you guys again! Something about you desert folk makes us happy! In other news, we took Holly out to Virginia last weekend. For those of you who don’t know who Holly is…shame on you. She is about 15 feet tall, 7 feet wide, 38 feet long (longer if we hook a trailer up to her back), and weighs about 2 tons. She enjoys a diesel snack and will decide to break down if she wants to (she is very moody.) Even with her violent temper tantrums, Holly drove like a dream last weekend! We took her to Washington D.C. and she got her picture taken with Obama…well…thats a lie. We aren’t sure how many times we will use her this year, but we can be sure of one thing: She will break down when we do.

So be sure to wish us happy Holly-days (get it?) and we will see you soon!!

I hope everyone is settling into the winter months and getting ready for the holidays.  We are wrapping up our last couple of shows before we slow down for some family time, santa visits, bobsledding, and natural snow cones…

We have met many of you at our shows over the last couple of months and would love to hear some stories about you getting to meet your favorite band member or funny things that happened while at an Unhindered show… Let’s hear ‘em!!!

P.S.
The “talk of the town” in Unhindered world right now is……..(drum roll)……We may be taking “Holly” (our old RV) out on the road this weekend for a trip.  It is still being decided but we’ll keep you posted on the decision.  If we do take her out I’m sure we will have many hilarious stories to come!  So stay tuned!!!

The album has been out for a little while now everything has been going great! The people (YOU) love it, and so do we! It is really exciting to already be hearing testimonies of what God has been doing in people’s lives through the new music so keep on spreading the word to your friends!

This past week we took an afternoon to stop by J93.3, a Christian radio station here in Atlanta for some interview/hang-out time. It was an awesome opportunity to get on the radio and talk about the heart of the album and the single, “You Are My Creator.”

Last night we played in Marietta, Ga, at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church to kick off their DNow weekend! Tonight we are playing in Roswell, Ga, for the “Worship for Youth Conference 2009″ (www.worshipforyouth.com) and then we’re back at Johnson Ferry to close out the weekend. It’s great to be playing in our hometown!

Thanks for popping in! Be sure to check the “tour dates” section of the site to see when we are coming to play in your town!

We are so excited to have finally released the new album “Be”. It is amazing to hear the response of how God is using these songs to bring people into an intimate place with Him. Since the release on Tuesday, we have had a busy week on the road, playing in Houston, Atlanta, and to the great nation of Canada. GodTV broadcasted the event live in Canada, and it was so refreshing for us to see thousands of young people worshipping God and finding delight in His presence. It is such an honor to be a part of the movement of God’s kingdom on the Earth today. I encourage you all to taste and see that the Lord is good, because He is and He is ready for You to take delight in Him today. Love you guys….let us know your thoughts on the new record!!!

Well, I think it goes without saying that we are crazy excited right now! Today marks the release of the new record “Be” as well as the launch of the new site! Feel free to take a look around and let us know your thoughts. While you’re at it, be sure to check out some of the new features including the “Fan Upload” section. We’re really looking forward to seeing some of the content YOU have to contribute to the site! Also don’t forget to grab your copy of the new record available on itunes as well as through our new Unhindered Store.  Thanks for stopping by!
