My sister Mariah and her boyfriend Ronny joined me at the show and it did not disappoint. I should qualify this statement by saying I've never been the biggest fan of Casting Crowns. They aren't exactly my cup of tea but boy can they write a big powerful Christian anthem.
Casting Crowns made an effort, though, to make it more than just a concert. They set up each song with scripture, a personal experience or a challenge to the crowd. Not only did they entertain but they challenged, uplifted and encouraged the audience but above all, they worshiped the Lord. There are few things more powerful than signing at the top of your lungs to God with several thousand of your brothers and sisters. Not only is it an outward expression of worship but it can also offer a chance to look inward and connect on a personal level with God. I must take my hat off to Casting Crowns for giving a call to action to each one of us in the building. Hopefully it will stick and make a difference.
Also, I'd like to give a big thumbs up to the band for being innovative and unique during its set. And an even bigger thumbs up to the video and light crew. The video and camera work was one of the most impressive I've seen at a live show.
One thing, though. I almost had to do a double take when the band took the stage. Mark Hall, the lead singer of Casting Crowns and Prince Street Church Youth Pastor Craig Mickey are long lost twins. Look for yourself.
Mark Hall or Craig Mickey?
