Casting Crowns, The Very Next Thing Tour with Special Guest, I Am They.
Since forming more than a decade ago, Casting Crowns’ message of hope has resonated with people around the globe with total album sales surpassing 8 million. The GRAMMY® and Dove Award winning group has consistently delivered songs that spur listeners to evaluate their relationship with God and with each other. The Very Next Thing, Casting Crowns’ latest album, is centered on the idea that what’s next for the Lord is often what’s right next to you. This collection of songs, including the single “Oh My Soul” is meant to meet listeners wherever they are at in their walk and aims to encourage acting out the next step of love.
Special guest, I Am They made their national debut in January 2015 with their self-titled album. The band’s current single “Crown Him” is a song of surrender. “Sometimes we lose sight of the eternal purposes our lives carry,” shares Jon McConnell, lead vocalist on the song. “We can get so worried about our own agendas and building a kingdom for ourselves that we forget that it’s really not about us or our kingdoms at all.”
