"Jason and I had always talked about writing a song together. When it finally happened, "Shine Like Gold" became a song about everyday heroes fighting their way through the darkness toward the light. On the day we recorded the song, Hurricane Harvey began wreaking havoc in Texas. Sometimes you don't know what a song is for until after its written. In this case it became crystal clear. As we watched our friends and family in Texas struggle through the aftermath of the hurricane, we knew exactly what we had to do.” - Jon

Help us raise some funds for our friends in Houston affected by Hurricane Harvey!

All proceeds from “Shine Like Gold” will be donated to aid Houston’s recovery in
partnership with Food for the Hungry.

You can't silence my love,
Jon, Tim, Chad, Drew, Jerome
