Why won’t you post the churro song?
Not worthy to play it.

Tricia
What is your favorite song to sing? What do you do when you are not touring?
1. Finally Home
2. Anything my family wants.

Ms Karen
What are your favorite cookies? I’m planning to enter cookies again this year at the Kansas State Fair and thought I could share some with you guys on the 18th of Sept. (I’ve placed 1st in both sugar and snickerdoodle in the past.)
1. Chocolate chip cookies are the secret to my girlish figure.

Zachary Kinney
What is the story behind homesick. Like where did the idea for the song come from
The song was written for my brother-in-law’s funeral who was killed in a car accident.

Lucinha
Hi! I’m from Brazil and I would like to know if you guys have intention to come play here someday…
Pleaaaase come to BRAZIL!!!!!!  God bless you guys….
We would love to come to Brazil very soon.

Jack
How do you write your songs? Does the vocal part get written to fit the music, or vice versa?
You name it, we’ve tried it.

Richard Kendle
How did you guys get your “big break?”
We wrote “Imagine” for an independent cd and it literally put us on the map.

victoria trapani
Do you ever miss working with the Planet Wisdom
ministry and Mark Matlock? Do you currently work with any other youth ministries?
1. Yes. We have fond memories of Planet Wisdom.
2. We are not directly affiliated with any one youth ministry these days.

What one food item do you hope there will be in heaven?
Tex-mex

I love the song Bring the Rain , what inspires you to write a song like that ?
It was written after my son was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. A simple reminder for me that God WILL get His glory even through the difficult times.

Jared
Another 2 part: After all the dancing, falling to your knees, awing, and whatever else you do… what will be the first thing you say to, or ask Jesus? Part 2: Who do you crave to see the most in Heaven, besides Jesus.
1. what’s up with mosquitos?
2. My Dad.

Julie Smithey
Can you please come to Southern Louisiana? When you do, can you do tweet and greets? Thanks and God Bless!
Yes and yes

Toby
I’ve been in Germany for 3yrs (our youth pastor went to camp with ya’all in Switzerland back in the day). We leave…me and the kids to the states, the wife to Afghanistan….in about 5 months.
Oh yeah, a question: When can I book you guys to play at our church?? Or better yet, in a hanger on Ramstein AFB??
Anytime! Let’s do it!!!

Amy
What is your craziest “fan meet and greet” story?
A toss up between the couple who named their child “Imagine” and the lady who said her husband was ok with me being her boyfriend. She was kidding….I hope.

Pokinatcha
What’s your favorite book of the Bible, do you write your own material & most importantly besides when are you coming back to Hawaii…. What ever happened with this? http://mercyme.org/2009/06/09/alright-dance-off/
1. Romans
2. 99% of our stuff we write
3. Used some of the footage live. We need to post them online huh?

noelle
when does rock and worship roadshow start?
February 2011

Tom Golly
2 questions… 1. Why wont you accept me as a facebook friend? 2. Why do you guys never come to long island or NYC ??
1. My Facebook account says I’m full, so I have 2000+ friend requests just floating out there. That’s why I spend a lot of time on our fan page.
2. We do play NYC. Usually about once a year.

Jason Yazzie
Forgot to ask you are you guys excited your coming to the Navajo Nation?
Yessir Navajo nation is always a great show.

Rena Ball
How did you get your group’s name?
My grandmother said ” Mercy me why don’t you get a real job?”

Em
Would you all come back to the Rio Grande Valley?? We miss you!!!
Sure

Rhea Bender
First of all, MercyMe is one of my all-time favorite bands. I think I’ve seen you 3 times and it’s always an extremely blessed time of worship. I thank God for you! My question is, do your families come with you when you’re on the road? I’m a big baby when my hubby is away, so whenever I see on Facebook that you guys are doing a concert, I pray for your families.
Our families are so big, it would be next to impossible to bring them all out at the same time, but we do take turns bringing our kids out.

Will Rieske
Is it frustrating, not being able to reveal your musical skill? Is it frustrating to have so many hits, that they consume most of a setlist?
1. Man I hope we are revealing our musical skill
2. It can be, but I ain’t complaining. It’s just good to have hits.

Jessica
When are you all planning to make a new album?? I am really diggin’ “The Generous Mr. Lovewell”!! I want to hear more!!
Probably 2012

Rebekah Mongold
How much did you enjoy having Family Force 5 on the Rock and Worship Roadshow?
FF5 were the cat’s meow! We had a blast! I just wish we could hang more often.

David Goei
I know you guys don’t do demos and stuff but can I GIVE you guys a song for free? God put it in my heart and only a voice like Bart’s is going to really do the chorus any justice…
And if you cannot answer that, then how did you go about getting spotted? Being a worship leader as a full time career would completely rock!
1. We’re always up for hearing songs.
2. We just kept doing what God has called us to do. Never really had a game plan for getting signed.

Melinda
Who all plays and sings on the Hymned albums? How did you get the idea for them? (I really like the old time songs.) And are you planning on making any more? My 11 year old daughter loves Mr. Lovewell and has the song in her head. She wanted to know if it was a real person. I think I have her hooked on Mercy Me now.
1. Russ Taff, Vince Gill, Derek Webb, Anthony Evans and some very special session players.
2. Mr. Lovewell is a figment of my imagination.

Lisa (aka SunnySide)
Hmmm…I can’t think of how to word my question. You know the written word is tough sometimes! How about this: How ya doin’ Bart? How’s the family?
1. Doing well thanks.
2. Family couldn’t be better

Elvis
Why is Jim the coolest guy in the whole wide world.
Because that’s how God made him. Jammed packed with awesomeness. Thanks for the question Jim.

Ledonna
When are you guys comin’ to Australia????….(have been doin’ the whole patience thing for years now!!…;p)….LOTS of fans down here…;)
Hopefully within the year.

Phil
We are some of your biggest fans from Canada. Any plans on coming to Southern Ontario?
Not sure. I hope so though.

Carol
WHEN are you coming to Belfast Northern Ireland?
Whenever you folks ask!!!!!

Cheryl
Have you always been this funny! Love the concerts and the tweets because they always make me smile.
Oh yes! I’ve been the reigning ” funniest guy ever” for quite a while.

Sherry Ward
Hello Bart ,I would like to know how you ever managed to get through those concerts (Rock and Worship)when you had that terrible cold.I watched nearly every show and i was just so amazed to see how you could have possibly been able to cope.You are truly an inspiration in my life.Your music has woken something up inside of me ,i never thought i would have.The way you spoke was so moving.I truly had found the Lord through your words.Thank you Mery Me.God Bless
By the grace of God and some forgiving fans.

Sarah
I’ve never been to any of your concerts (mostly because i never know when your going to be in Maryland, if you even have been recently) but I’ve watched them online sometimes, and every time i do i go away from the computer with a sense of there being something different. i LOVE your voice and your music. my question is: what is your favorite song that you have written? and also, whats your favorite song in general?
1. Favorite song written is probably “Finally Home”
2. Favorite song in general, would be “At Last” by Etta James. Makes me think of my incredible wife.

Jessica
Just wanted to let you know that I love your new albumn and I know you were in Asheville, NC not long ago but I was wondering when you were coming back?
Not sure, but hopefully very soon.

Chip Henderson
Bart, at one of your concerts you addressed the “elephant in the room” and said that Mercy Me is known as the “funeral band”. My question is how would you like to be known as the wedding band and play at my daughters (the girl who volunteers at orphanges) wedding in Marakesh Morocco next May. If you are willing to play for “Taco Bell and directions home” then let’s praise the Lord and give Him glory in a land where 90% of the people are Muslim.
Ha ha that one might take a lot of Taco Bell!! Long trip.

Chad S
Bart,
I’ve been following you since watching every Wednesday at the square in Greenville. To steal your words, would you say it’s easier or harder to “Be Jesus” day in and out in Mercyme? Easier because you are surrounded by Christianity and like minded followers, or harder because the spot light is on you to be the golden example of living like Christ.
And…Go Rangers, Cliff Lee Cy Young 2010!!!!!
1. It is hard because the spotlight is on you and I couldn’t do it without being surrounded by like minded followers.

Lana S
When are you going to have a concert in NYC? The last time I saw you was during the Billy Graham Crusade back in 2005 and that was the first time I saw you guys performing live. Puuuuuuhhhhh-llllleeeeeeaaaaaseeee comeback and have a concert in the heart of the city. A lot of people will turn out I promise!!!
Anytime! NYC have been our best shows ever!!!!

margie
what’s you’re fave song of all time?…and why?…..
“At Last” by Etta James. My wife and I’s favorite song.

Tammy
What REALLY gets on your nerves?
Is there anything that really scares u besides snakes?
1. the 3rd sneeze in a row. They’re supposed to come in 2′s.
2. Oh yes. Bears, knives being thrown at me, Jim Bryson etc.

Stephanie Reed
Are you a disciplined writer, sitting down regularly to write, or do you wait for inspiration to hit? Where do you usually write songs? And where’s the most unlikely place you ever wrote one? Is there a story behind God With Us? I was driving when I first heard the acoustic version. My husband had just called to say his father had passed away … See Moreafter a horrible battle with mesothelioma. The next song I heard was God With Us. What a blessing it was to hear God speaking to me through that song. I will never forget it. Thank you.
1. Not a disciplined writer at all
2. I write songs usually in my office or on the road.
3. A song hit me while driving so I called my house and sang it on my voicemail so i wouldn’t forget it
4. Not really a story behind it other than we set out to write a corporate worship song.

Jess
Just wanted to say I come see you EVERY time you are in Ohio. Wish you could come more often, but know there are others that need your ministry. Many blessings for ALL you MEN and families do. THANK YOU ALL. I PRAY YOU DONT STOP ANY TIME SOON.
Thank you

Sara
Bart, my brother’s name is Bart. He’s curious what your middle name is—-his is “Homer”,and he feels like he’s been tortured most of his life because of his name…..
Love you guys—see you every chance!
Bart Marshall Millard

Bill
You guys all have such a great sense of humor-your twitter page keeps me in stitches-I’m wondering have any of you ever played a practical joke on each other or what was the funniest moment on the tour bus or stage that you can recall? Thanks for helping bring God, peace, laughter, and great music into your fans’ lives!
1. We’ve played so many jokes on each other it’s hard to remember them all.
2. Funniest moment on stage would be anything happening to Jim. He’s always good for an over the top reaction.

Evan
How can I get a meet and greet pass for your concert in Lakeland, FL on November 20th. I already bought gold circle seats..
Usually through the local radio station. they are always involved with meet and greets.

Anne
Ok, finally scrolled down & saw the “go to website…” Bart, do you ever get tired when you sing on tour? I mean you lead every song, every set, every night…wow! BTW, how’d the hernia surgery heal? GBU & fam!
1. Sure I get tired. That’s why I’m so thankful that God moves regardless of how I feel.
2. Surgery went really well. I can now lift 1 milllllion pounds.

Cathy Davis
I posted my question on FB – will you be answering questions from both places? :0)
Just here for now. Too many questions, too little time.

John
Hey, MercyMe, is there any chance you’ll make a concert tour in Europe? Maybe on some summer Christian music festival or something? Thanks for the encouraging music. God Bless all of You and your families.
John from Slovakia (Europe)
We talk about it every year, but I think we are getting close to actually pulling the trigger and doing it.

suzanne
when i hear any kind of music-I get a feeling,or mood.drums give me a strong feeling,melodies. melodies bring happiness,sadness,love,,lyrics,invoke my feelings,of anger,tolerance.adoration,obsession-whatever.do you think there is a God induced
Not sure I understand the question. Sorry.

mike tittle

Not sure but hopefully soon.

Ken Row
Do you play any musical instruments?
I play piano when I write, but it’s really, really bad.

Daniel
How have you seen the hand of God working in your past 10 years? I am 13, and I have collected every single one of your cd’s.(Mr. Lovewell, too) Congrats on being my favorite music band – you’ve really improoved my Christian life!
Everytime I look at my wife and kids I see the hand of God.

buzz
hey Bart!!! dont really have a question, just wanted to tell you how much we’re all looking forward to seeing you guys on 9-24 in medford, oregon. love ya’ll a lot!!
Same here.

Peet Hobbs
Do you ever get tired of playing “I Can Only Imagine”?
Sure I do. You can’t sing it a million times without having a few off nights.

Tracey Medrano
How do you keep God as the focus of your life and music?
Accountability, accountability and accountability.

Dan
How many Christmas Concerts will you perform? What is the set-list like? It looks as if I will go from Omaha to Greeley CO to share in your Christmas message. Thank you for any information!
1. These days we do about 100 shows a year.
2. Set list is simply us trying to play what y’all wanna hear.

Mitchell Evans
Hey guys,
Love your music!! Any chance that you’ll be performing in Australia in the near future (or even next year)? It’d be great to try and get to one of your concerts. We really don’t get many international artists performing in Australia on a regular basis. Thanks heaps, and hope to be able to catch you in Australia one day. Keep serving God and praising Him!!
1. Yes there is a good chance very soon. Stay tuned.

Jaimi
I spend 99% of my day in worship. How great it must be for you to be able to worship with so many people all the time. I wonder though, does it ever stop being worship for you? Does it ever become work?
Sure it becomes work from time to time. But God is faithful to show up even when I try to screw it up.

Robert Morgan
This is more for everyone. I wanted you all to know that I started listening to your music just a few short months ago I had hit rock bottom lost my dream job, (teaching science to innercity high school kids) my wife kicked me out for many reasons and could barely support myself. I have been listening to christian radio for a couple of months prior. I have never heard of you before. I just happen to turn on the radio and heard “all of creation” and it broke me down and i cried because i finally knew what was missing in my life. I had been a christian off and on for most of my adult life and it faded away and i forgot what was important. Now my motto is to lift up my voice and lay my worries down. Thank you for saving me and coming into my life at the right time and reminding me of what is really important. by the way i dont know all your names yet but I live in kansas city and the lead singers daughter was sitting in front of me and she is awsome and beautiful. Thank you for coming to worlds of fun I took my wife there and now we discussing getting back together again thanks god bless.
Awesome! Praise God for you and your wife!

Destiny
are u guys going to have a meet and greet at soulfest 2010???
Sorry this is late, but yes we did have a meet and greet at soulfest.

Fran
I just wanted to thank all of you at Mercy Me for the song Homesick. I lost my husband in Sept. of 2009 and these words say it all for me. It is exactly how I feel. I have heard the song before but now it is my story. I am a Christian and saved and so was my husband so I know that I will see him again. It makes me weep to hear it. I Can Only Imagine was sung at his funeral, that has always been my favorite. Again I just wanted to say thank you for the song. You all are Awesome at doing God’s work. God Bless all of you.
You are very welcome, so glad we could be a small part of the healing process

It took a while, but I thought this would be a fun thing to get going again. So it’s my turn for “Ask MercyMe”. Ask anything you want and I’ll try to answer as many as I can. What do you want to know?

Parenting is one of our most rewarding life experiences, but it can be our most challenging too. With so much conflicting advice from a variety of sources, it’s hard not to have questions about your parenting skills. You need a realistic approach to parenting, giving you the skills you need to raise your kids in the real world.

Join us on Your Family Live! when Dr. Juli Slattery and Dr. Kevin Leman give you real-life answers to your real-life issues! Plus, you’ll hear parts of our recent conversation with Bart Millard, lead singer from MercyMe, about his family, parenting and being a dad.

This week it’s Mike. Mike plays guitar in the band, and promises to answer every single question you guys have for him. It can be about guitars, family, favorite foods, hair products, you name it.

Answers will be given on Friday. What do you want to know?

Click the “More” button to see his answers.

1: JoshQ: What got you into music and what made you choose the bass?
A: I guess my family was the biggest musical influence on me growing up. My dad taught me how to play the guitar. I picked up the bass, more to fill a need than anything, and played on the church worship team in my home town. Funny; I didn’t even own a bass when I left to join MM. The old bass player Kendal passed his on to me the day he left. I really do enjoy playing bass, but I don’t really use it as a song writing tool.

2: Joey McFarland
Q: Do you have kids? How many do you have? If you do, is it hard to balance being a dad and being on the road? How do you guys work that out?
A: I do have two kids. I enjoy every moment with them. I am not sure that there is a good way to balance being on the road and being home. There isn’t really a way to replace being there face to face. This is the biggest issue we face in our line of work. Since we are married and have children then we are called to be husbands and fathers first. MercyMe has to be secondary. Which can be difficult when this job takes us away and occupies so much of our time and attention. If we figure out the perfect formula for this we will let everyone know!

3: Heidi
Q: When did you put your faith in Christ? What is the biggest thing He changed about you
A: I gave my life to Christ at a young age. 10 or 11 I think it was. The biggest change about me was that I have been given grace. If we really dive into what that means I think that we cannot help but be changed.

4: Ray
Q: I was recently listening to the band on Coming Up To Breathe, specifically the bass since I play one too. I just wanted to know how you get that great sound out of the Fender Jazz? I’ve got a 1976 Jazz and can’t make it sound that fat yet punchy for the life of me.
A: Ahhhhhhh a bass gear question!! First, thanks for asking. Bass players get no respect! HAHA! Hmm. Well, thanks for your kind words about my work on Coming Up To Breathe. That was a fun record to make. For most of it I did use my Jazz Bass through my Ashdown ABM 900 head and into an Ampeg cab that I had at the time. It is a little unfair to compare your tone to the tones on a record. I had my amp running and a direct signal going at the same time. The direct and amp both get run through eq’s and compressors to make them sit just right in the mix. So don’t get discouraged by the comparison. But I do love the way my Ashdown amps sound. They are the best bass amps I have ever played. I also use a Sansamp Bass Driver live. It has always rounded out my sound nicely. Really, if you get to a place where you are happy with your tone that is all that matters.

5: Cynthia
Q: I’m a fellow Missourian. Where do you hail from, and how did you hook up with the MM guys?
A: I am originally from Columbia, MO. I was born there and lived there until August of ‘97 when I joined MM and moved with them to Texas. Robby (our drummer) and I grew up going to church together. He moved to Oklahoma where he met Bart, Mike and Jim. Started playing with them. Then when they were in need of a new bassist Robby said he knew an old friend from MO that played, and oh yeah was also dating his sister! So he called, and the rest is history.

6: Carter
Q:What’s your favorite band besides MercyMe?? What’s your Favorite MercyMe song?
A: Favorite Band……. Diving Blind Favorite MM song………Unaware

7: wes
Q: Who is your favorite mm crew guy?????
A: I love all our crew guys equally. Like my children. hahahaha.

8: MMMike
Q: In a battle of wits… who would win… you or Yoda?
A: We already had this battle. I won!

9: Robbie
Q: When is your birthday? Do you have any siblings? I know your wife is Robby’s sister so that kind of answers the how you met her but when did you meet her and realize that she was the one? What kind of jobs did you have prior to MM?
A: My birthday is 5/26. I do have one younger sister, who is a superb vocalist herself. But don’t tell her I said so. My wife Amanda and I grew up going to church together, but it wasn’t until after I graduated from high school that we started “hanging out”. I remember going out to eat with her and some friends one night. Our friends got up from the table leaving us by ourselves for a bit. I remember looking at her in that candle lit restaurant and falling in love all at once. It was like I had never seen her before. I had all sorts of jobs before MM. Here is a brief list:Lawn mowerRooferDishwasher at Golden CorralLowe’s home improvement warehouseWorked at church a lot since my parents were the pastors.

10: Karen
Q: Have you guys ever consider the idea of a girl in the band??
A: No, I can sing all the high female vocal parts so we don’t need a girl in the band. haha.

11: TLC
Q: I wish ya’ll would come out with a window decal for my car that I could buy at a concert or on the website were your tshirts are sold. Something like “Mercy Me” in an arch w/ “Glorifying God” under that.? Are you still adding blogs?
A: Maybe we should try a whole line of trial merch stuff. Like MM bobble heads. We could use more stickers. Good idea. And Yes, we are adding blogs.

12: Emma
Q: What’s your favorite color? Coke or Pepsi?
A: Favorite color……….the leaves changing in the fall. Coke or Pepsi??!!……..Mountain Dew!!!

13: Tim
Q: What bass player is your biggest influence?
A: Probably Paul McCartney. Not just for his bass playing but his song writing as well. A few other bassists I really like are- Justin Meldal Johnsen, Adam Clayton, Preston Martinez.

14: Andrew Glover
Q: Nate, I read that Robby is getting his feet wet as a manager for bands, he’s still with Mercy Me right?
A: Robby is still the drummer for MM. None of us are going anywhere. Just…. pursuing new things at the same time. Keep your eyes and ears ready for more news.;)

15: Jeannie
Q: Do you know if there is any way to buy a copy of the video of 3:42 am that some of us MM fans sent in and was played at the Coming up to Breathe concert last year?? (And BTW, it was really COOL to see my cute kidlet and nieces and nephews on the large screen at the Erie PA concert)
A: There is nowhere as of yet to get that video. I believe that we still have it on a hard drive somewhere. It was a fun video! I will do some research on it for ya!

16: Ezekiel Lopez
Q: Who’s the youngest in the band?
A: I happen to be the youngest member of MM.

17: Sandi
Q: What’s the easiest/best way to get the chance to me ya’ll?
A: Sorry you had waited so long. Well it really depends on the show. If you are on the west coast we are usually flying in and out so that puts a bigger crunch on our time. If you can contact your local radio when we come to town that is usually a good way to get back. Or, just send us an email and we will see what we can do. No promises though. Sometimes things are out of our control.

18: Your Sister
Q: How hard is it to have a sister WAY cooler than you are? Hehehe
A: Who let you on here!?

19: Wes
Q: How’s Bruce Cavalowski doing?
A: Bruce is doing just fine. Still waiting for that calculus book.

20: LoriAnn
Q: Nathan, MercyMe has proven to my son that “Christian” music can be awesome and relevant in our lives. Does the band ever play small venues anymore? My favorite MM song is “Spoken For”. God bless you all for your joyous message!
A: We still play all types of venues. Really just depends on who or what event is having us in. I am glad that our music is blessing your family. That is why we do what we do. If we stop hearing that, I think that is when we will quit.

21: Brenda
Q: Hey Nate, How do you manage being on the road soooo much and family time, time for God and time for you and time for the band etc…? You all are awesome!! Just got back to Florida from TN ( man it cold up there) and I listened to “all that is within me” for hours LOL!!! Thanks and God Bless.
A: Well, I guess we have to just take it all in stride. Time for family is every moment I can get. Time for MM is either full on and crazy or a bit slow. But the slow moments are few. Time for God is every moment. Not that I walk around in constant communication with God, no one is a spiritual superman. I realized a long time ago that my walk with Christ is very personal and is not the responsibility of anyone else but myself. So even though I may not be home every sunday for church that doesn’t mean I can’t spend time with God. I guess that applies to all of us.

22: Karen Levy
Q: I am such a fan of the band and am inspired by each and every song. Recently I saw a small informal Mercy Me concert on some channel; goodness, I am sorry that I can’t remember which channel. In this concert they talked about writing and then sang the sweetest song that apparently was written on the fly about the 10 Commandments that was for children. I have tried to find the lyrics to that somewhere and have not been able to. Is there a chance that I could get the lyrics and even just the chorus to that song as it is a great teaching tool for children and adults alike to remember the 10 commandments?
A: Ahh ha. Yes that song is called “Ten Simple Rules”. It was part of a kids show called Hoop Dogz. It was our way of spelling out the 10 commandments in a way that kids would hopefully remember and understand. One of these days I will post the lyrics.

23: P Scrumshish Tinez
Q: I heard you are also in another band that is the rocktasticist rock band to ever rock a rock. Is this accurate?
A: Hmmm, such rumors could have some truth behind them. Patience friends.

24: mcwesty
Q: With your schedules how and when do you find time to spend time in the word. Also how have you been able to stand firm in your faith and love for God with all the trials you have all had over the years. It is a struggle.
A: A lot of times riding on the bus is a great place to get into the word. It can be a bit distracting when everyone is up and doing things, but that usually doesn’t stop us. It really just takes a little discipline to remember to open the word.We have been through a lot the last few years. Loosing loved ones, friends, and helping others through some pretty difficult times. One of the first things you have to do is realize that God did not leave us. Sometimes that is all it takes to calm your spirit and give peace to difficult times. Knowing that God is there doesn’t always make things hurt less, but we know that He will see us through.

25: andrea brightwell
Q: 1. When is your next concert in Greenville? I have been a fan of mm for years and miss the small, intimate concerts and have heard your Greenville concerts are more like that plus I’m sure you enjoy the home crowd.
2. Which MercyMe member has a lake house near Tawakoni near our good friends and Hurst, TX neighbors Mark and Lynn Cowell??
3. Years ago at a six flags concert MM sang a song about the 10 commandments I believe. It was a rainy night and you guys pulled out the stools, sat and sang this song you supposedly wrote if I remember right wrote for a cartoon?? It was amazing! Where can I get a copy of the song??
A: (1) Not sure when the next Greenville stop will be. Probably not til Christmas.(2) Hmmm. None of is live in a “Lake House”. Jim does live near the lake. I get standing water in my yard when it rains hard. Does that count? =)(3) Please refer to question #22

26: Daniel Crowe
Q: Will we ever see the chicken dance in a MercyMe video again?
A: I think that you can find the MM chicken dance on YouTube.

27: Mistie Hardt “Kewpie Friend” Rhode
Q: How’s Amanda and children? Fine, I hope. Is there anywhere I can get a copy of the Ten Commandments song? I can’t find it!
A: Hello fellow Kewpie. Ok so I will expalin. The high school that I went to in Missouri,(Hickman), had a lovable Kewpie as our mascot. I know I know. Sissy mascot. But we did have a powerhouse football team! Some fun trivia for you-I was in the 100th graduating class from Hickman. Jim’s (our Keyboardist) parents also attended Hickman. Just a little over 50 years earlier. Please refer to Question #22 about the song.

28: Becky Bauer
Q: I didn’t start getting close to Christ until maybe a year or so ago. I believe it was the music from MM and so many others like yourselves that got me started, and the church I started to go to has shown me it is a relief to let go and let God in. Keep up the good work through Christ and song and God Bless you all.
A: Thanks for the encouragement! It blesses us to know that God is blessing you through our music.
