I didn’t realize that by taking a break from Instagram, I was also taking a break from political division. I was taking a break from becoming irritated with people I love because I silently disagree with them. I was taking a break from jealousy over the success of other people’s careers. I was taking a break from the soul crushing experience that is reading an angry comment thread on a controversial post. I had no FOMO whatsoever, and I would wager that the real FOMO should be in regard to what I’m missing that’s right in front of me when I’m allowing myself to by hypnotized into that insatiable appetite for the endless scroll.

Has our music always been well received? Definitely not. We have been told more than once that our songs don’t fit anywhere because the music is too strange for a Christian audiences and the lyrics are too Christian for a secular audiences. We have always landed in some musical third place - a purgatory of weird synthesizers and anthems to Jesus.
