Then you get to this idea that you're going to live forever with God in Heaven. That's crazy!Įven on a philosophical level, you can talk with friends about Jesus, and the miracle that He paid for the sins of the world. So I was thinking, what is the most outlandish thing I can boast about? It's outlandish that I am going to live for eternity with God. We had this musical bed we were sitting on for this song, and I just really wanted to be able to sing a song with a very clear message, with a brash confidence in something that wasn't myself.īasically, I was thinking about how in rap music, there's bragging about someone's own strength in many cases, but I wanted a song that was about boasting in Christ. Then, a couple months further down the road, we lost our first child, our son, to a stillbirth, which was brutal and hard.Īll along, I'm trying to make this album, which is personal and about all of these things we were dealing with. A few weeks later, we learned that my wife's father had brain cancer out of nowhere, and he passed away 10 weeks later. She got in a car accident about a week after that. We both ended up resigning from the church we had met at, got married at, helped plant and worked at. This year has been a very difficult year for me and my wife. Please tell me the personal story behind this song. I had the chance to speak with Chad Gardner about their catchy and convicting song, "I Know." A sincere desire for the presence of God and to see His Kingdom on earth is found in every song as lead singer Chad Gardner sings the eternity-minded lyrics with an engaging and worshipful alt-rock style. What's especially cool is how this album stays true to that biblical description.
This "gourmet" album is a great call to worship and is a fresh offering of praise for the Church to sing out with passion about the truth of the Word of God from Matthew 6:33 (NKJV): "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Becoming Who You Are by Seattle-based Kings Kaleidoscope was one of my Top 10 Worship Albums of 2014.
