Chris Kroger: This has been a dream of ours for as long as I can remember. I cut my teeth in the Chicago music scene before coming to The Lord. Since then, the focus of our lives and therefore our writing has become the great truth of Jesus, who He is, what He's done for us all.

Chris Kroger: Oh man, that's a hard one. Each of these songs holds a special place and captures a moment. If I had to choose right here right now, today, I think I'd have to say "Scars." I feel like it captures the Gospel message and shares a piece of me. The chorus kind of encompasses our heart as a band too. "This world won't take our hearts, cause we are unashamed of His scars. This world won't take our hearts, cause we are unashamed of His plans, so we keep running. We are unashamed and we're running full speed ahead into all the Lord has for us."

Chris Kroger: Ryan, I'm so glad you noticed this and appreciate it. We take a real pride in everything we put our hands on. We want to bring our very best to everything we do. Whether serving at our home church, our lives outside the church, crafting songs, live performances, or our design. I know I'm a little partial, but honestly, I'm blessed to get to work with some of the most gifted people ever. Chris & Natalie Garret (Our synth & keys team) are ridiculously gifted artists. Whether photography, painting, their musicianship, you name it, it's amazing. Chris Garret handles all of our design in house. He has this uncanny ability to take any vision cast and really bring it to life. The name Felling Giants comes from 1 Samuel 17 and the story of David and Goliath. This beautiful Truth that God desires to destroy the giants in our life, if we would only allow Him. We all have giants of our own. For me, it was 15 years of alcoholism and drug addiction. But praise be to God who always leads us in triumph through Jesus! The cover art of the EP is actually a photograph that Chris Garrett took. It's a photo of a local beetle kill stump. We've lost a lot of trees in CO from these beetles. Chris captures a picture of something dead, and makes it beautiful. Connecting our story as disciples of Jesus, of death to life, beauty from ashes. That and we just like cool album art, posters, stickers, tattoos, etc...

Chris Kroger: We want to share the hope of Jesus. We want to share what was so freely given to us, this beautiful gift of Grace. We believe God at His Word and we believe He desires to do amazing things through the simple obedience of us, His Church. We look around and we see a lost world, generations of people desperate for hope, desperate for change, desperate for true life instead if existence, but unable to be fully honest about it. We were all at this place once before Jesus wrecked us. We want to sing anthems of Victory, anthems of Hope, anthems for a chosen generation, anthems of the transforming power of Jesus for all.

Chris Kroger: Yeah, JT's awesome. I'm a big fan of his work with Paper Route. He and Johnny Macintosh make up the magical power duo that is The Sound Kids. I knew I wanted to work with them before the band had even formed. I've known Johnny for a while and knew I wanted to work with him if I ever had the chance. The Sound Kids had just wrapped up the newest Third Day album (Lead Us Back) and it just all fell into place. It was pretty rad to have these guys working with us on these songs and really pushing us as a band. They're doing the new City Harmonic right now and it's sounding incredible. That's a nice little sandwich right there: Felling Giants, The City Harmonic, and Third Day. Sounds like a pretty awesome tour to me bro (hint hint!) :) All joking aside, these guys are amazing at what they do and we were blessed to work with them.

Chris Kroger: The Lord's been opening a lot of doors for us. It's all happening kind of fast. We're hoping to join the line up at this year's Heaven Fest in Denver and we're heading out to CA to play Joshua Fest in Sept. Both these events have some amazing lineups and we're honored to be included. We definitely see touring in our future and we're always writing. The songs just keep coming. Hopefully we'll be talking about our full-length with you guys before too long.

Chris Kroger: From the start of all of this, God's really been teaching us to set aside expectations, which is really hard to do. We all have expectations. Ours usually include smoke machines and light shows. I think it's an ongoing challenge for us all really. However, He's been so faithful to show us that He's always moving and He's going to move in ways we could never imagine. That's how God rolls. We're excited and expectant for all He has and we're blessed that we've been invited through Jesus to be a part of God's beautiful plan of redemption.
