The 12-track album features new sounds and styles all the while taking the listener back to the basics of faith. Curran composes songs in such a way that they exist as invitations to enter into a conversation with a loving Father. 

“This collection of songs walk the listener through the basics of faith; to show us that Jesus came to do more than get us into heaven, He came to get heaven into us,” shares Sean Curran of his new album. “I feel that we need songs that help us praise God well, as well as songs that help us wrestle with God well – this is what I hope to achieve with my music.”

On today’s show, we chat with two-time guests, The Kendrick Brothers!

The Kendrick brothers have a name that has become synonymous with Christian cinema. Alex, Stephen, and Shannon Kendrick have dedicated their lives to crafting faith-forward films like Overcomer, Courageous, War Room, Fireproof, and Facing the Giants.

THE FORGE tells the story of Isaiah Wright, a 19 year old who lives for basketball and video games. A year out of high school, he still has no job, no plans, and no idea how to be a man. At odds with his single mom, Cynthia, Isaiah is given an ultimatum - to step up or move out. Feeling the pull from his friends and the push from his mom, Isaiah is hired by Moore Fitness, but has no idea how the owner will personally impact his life. With the prayers of his mother and unexpected guidance from his new mentor, Isaiah is forced to deal with his past, sacrifice his selfishness and discover how God might have a greater purpose for his life. From the Kendrick Brothers, the creators of the #1 box office hit WAR ROOM, comes THE FORGE, a faith-filled new movie with emotional themes, old friends, and new twists.

The Forge hits theaters, this Friday!
