"Over the last year, the Mav City crew has become like family," Elevation Worship frontman Chris Brown muses."I feel that this album is not only a reflection of that, but also captures the spirit of our two ministries. We hopehelps people return to the purity of the moments when they first encountered God, and jogs their memories of his faithfulness."
