How much loss and how many setbacks can one experience before they call it quits? Or, perhaps more importantly, how can one keep going when anxiety feels overwhelming, naysayers chip away at your confidence, and the road ahead feels vague and unclear? Chris Rhoman from Sanctus Real and his band wrestled with these concerns and more when they found themselves at a Crossroads between calling it quits and trusting God to do a new thing, proving the truth in their song titled My God is Still the Same. In this episode, Chris shares how God led him through a season of panic attacks and intense anxiety, losing the band's lead singer and record label, to rising again with the strength, focus, and passion that can only come from the Holy Spirit at work within and through us. Discussion/Reflective questions: What most resonated resonated with you in this episode? In this episode, Chris shared the numerous contributing factors to his season of intense anxiety and panic attacks. How might it be helpful, when experiencing anxiety, to consider the mental and emotional weight of all the various stressors, changes, and emotions we experience? Chris shared how some of his anxiety may have stemmed from the grief he experienced in losing the band's lead singer. If you experience anxiety, how might unresolved grief (over a person, relationship, dream, etc) be contributing to your inner turmoil? Chris also discussed how he had to ignore the voices of naysayers and tune in to the voice of Christ. What might this look like in your life? Chris shared how he found the words of a friend during a particularly difficult time encouraging. Who in your life speaks truth into your soul when you feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or discouraged?

On today's show, we chat with Sanctus Real!If Sanctus Real has learned anything over the course of their career, it's this: We're all a work in progress. For Dustin Lolli (lead vocals) and founding members Chris Rohman (guitar) and Mark Graalman (drums), it's a refining that's been realized through hard-won seasons as a band. Theresult is a bond of remarkable musicians that are making the best music of their career, and coming out on the other side more resilient than ever before.  Since forming in Toledo, Ohio, in the mid-'90s, Sanctus Real has become one of the most well-loved artists in Christian music. With eight No. 1 songs, 19 Top 10 hits and more than 2 million singles sold, their catalog boasts well-known anthems like “Lead Me,” “I'm Not Alright,” “Forgiven,” “My God Is Stillthe Same” and RIAA Gold®-certified single “Confidence.” With a pair of GRAMMY® nominations, a GMA Dove Award and massive streaming numbers that place them in an elite tier of Christian artistsgarnering more than 2.5 million listeners a month on Spotify alone, the trio has carved out a name for themselves with their raw lyrics and deft musicianship, evidenced during their critically lauded live shows.  “The Difference” was built on top of a singular guitar riff Rohman created. Once the principle vibe was laid, the lyrics came easily as Lolli, Rohman and their collaborators — songwritersMatt Armstrong and AJ Pruis — began talking about a key difference between believers and non-believers: Hope.sanctusreal.com@sanctusrealchristianmusicguys.com@christianmusicguys

In this episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich welcomes dear family friend Dustin Lolli, the lead singer of the band Sanctus Real and one half of the duo "This Way Home" with his wife, Sarah. Dustin shares his journey of stepping into the unknown, moving from a secure situation to joining a band without knowing if it would succeed. The Lolli family has moved 25 times, each move spurred by a new opportunity and a fearless embrace of risk. Dustin recounts how he didn't even know he could sing until people started asking him to lead worship. Despite initial doubts, he found his voice and discovered a passion for music that he shares with his wife. Dustin and Ginny discuss the early years of the Lolli family juggling multiple jobs to make ends meet and the importance of creating stability through constant change. They explore the concept of a happy home stemming from internal contentment and choice, and the relentless pursuit of balance in life. Dustin offers profound marriage advice, emphasizing that he and Sarah strive to lift each other up, seeing themselves as more than a team. He speaks about the awe of standing before something bigger than oneself and the realization that thinking we're important adds unnecessary weight to our lives. As a homeschool dad, Dustin talks about recognizing his children's unique qualities and strengths, and how he and Sarah work to open doors for their kids through their careers. They believe that the risks they take can have generational benefits, and that sometimes following one's calling is essential, regardless of the outcome. Throughout the conversation, Dustin reflects on God's presence in their lives, providing hope through both good and challenging times. He shares the paradox of success, where achieving it sometimes makes it harder to determine the next step, and emphasizes that all his successes have come through a natural, unforced process. Join Ginny and Dustin for an inspiring discussion on how taking risks as parents can provide lasting benefits for our children, fostering resilience, creativity, and hope. ** Learn more about This Way Home here Listen in to The Make a Happy Home Podcast here Learn more about Sanctus Real here ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.

He answered my prayers and brought me out of the darkness. He gave me joy and hope and provided me with community here in Nashville. I want listeners to know that whatever they may be going through, it will get better. Stand on His promises and He will make a way for you.” Following Stanford's 2023 release, "Your Heart," which was produced by two-time GRAMMY nominee Cindy Morgan, comes the latest single.

Although the Church does so much more good than it has ever done bad, several pressing questions still linger - What do you do when you are hurt by “The Church?” Maybe you've been hurt by a pastor or a church leader or a member of the church. Do you walk out of Christianity and abandon the church altogether? Or are there any other alternatives? Joining us today to help us unpack some of these challenging yet necessary questions is a man who just released a new song and FREE 7-Day Devotional on the topic, Matt Hammitt. Many may be familiar with Matt's work as he's a renowned singer and songwriter having served as the lead singer for Sanctus Real from 1996-2016 as well as being an impactful author and sought after speaker. However, recently, God placed it upon Matt's heart to release his new single titled, “Church Hurt,” along with a FREE 7-Day Devotional titled, “Life After Church Hurt,” in order to appeal to the heart of those who have been wounded within families of faith and encourage and equip them through a lens of hope and healing. Through his own personal experiences as well as insightful lessons God has taught him throughout his journey, our prayer is that today's episode would help you begin to takes steps toward healing in knowing that although people will hurt us, we cannot let that affect or infect our view of God and the church He loves.
