The same sun that rises over castles and welcomes the daySpills over buildings into the streets where orphans playAnd only You can see the good in broken thingsYou took my heart of stone, and You made it homeAnd set this prisoner free
Bethany Dillon
After close to a year of traveling, I had seen things in the world and in myself, both good and bad, that I had never noticed before. I was struggling daily with pride and insecurity, homesickness and loneliness, with the burden of picking up my cross and following Jesus. This journey produced a new hunger for redemption in me.

God's unearthly grace and immeasurable love for us is the heartbeat of this whole record. This is a story of hope and redemption, one that paints a brutally and beautifully honest picture of what it is to really live by faith.

I'm trying to learn how to listen to people and how not to think that this is all I am. It's not going to change the fact that at home I'm going to put away the clean dishes, and I'm going to have to be nice to my siblings. It encourages me, but it doesn't define me.

Sara is the kind of artist I could listen to every day for the rest of my life and, honestly, never grow tired of. The other day there was something hanging over our house  just heaviness  and I went over and put on 'Conversations,' and it totally changed the atmosphere in the room. Her music welcomes Jesus into a room without it seeming forced or contrived. There's such a sweet brokenness and honesty in her music that makes you want to live like that and see the Christ-ward life like she does.
