Casting Crowns
Aug 15, 2011
Casting Crowns will release its fifth studio project "Come To The Well" on October 18. The debut radio single "Courageous," also featured in the upcoming film "Courageous," precedes the album's release, and the band will promote the project via a 40-city "Come to the Well" tour this fall.
As with previous projects, "Come To The Well" draws inspiration from the band's ministry at its home church Eagles Landing Baptist Church outside of Atlanta, where frontman Mark Hall serves as youth pastor. "Teaching through the story of the woman at the well with my teenagers and my families is where it all came from," says Hall. "Your friends aren't the well. They aren't always going to do the right thing or be there for you. Your athletic scholarship can't be the well. If your knee goes out, your well is dry. You need to draw from Jesus, pour into that. That is where it started, with the idea of Jesus being the well versus other things."
