Unreleased and acoustic: Instead of a Show

Jon played this brand new song at an aftershow, and plans to put it on Summer EP. In my humble opinion, this song is one of Jon's finest moments. Piercing, timeless prophetic utterances:

No kidding: I've been waiting for this piece to be put in a song!!!

I've been praying for the next Keith Green: songs with no compromise.

Way to go Jon!!!

Love it.

Yeah, you said it phil, this song is one of the best I've heard from him. It could possibly be the best on Summer. Of course if there are better songs no one's gonna complain.. haha..

i've been listening to this song for a couple of days and it's just beautiful - i really admire the talent he has to compose the music for those lyrics, it gives the song a different, deeper meaning. i'm loving this song already.

Ouch, it hurts but it's true. I love how Jon rephrases the scriptures so they make sense to me. Love it.

so honest. Not many out there acknowledge the hypocrisy that can come with (dead) religion. Jon's so great to bring it out into the open. I love the boldness.

Hey! You guys were great in Grand Rapids. Tim looked like he was having fun. Plus it was an amazing theater.

When's the next podcast?
