I was introduced to for King and Country at Winter Jam a few weeks ago. The music was amazing, as was the performance! I was struck by how pure and giving you gentlemen are, how well you expressed your faith and love through song. I went straight to your table, purchased the CD and the wonderful bracelet with your strong message of Respect and Honor. I have worn it every day the past three weeks and listened to the CD almost every day. I rediscovered my faith at Winter Jam, not so much in God, I'd never lost that, just my faith in joined worship and sharing that love and fellowship with others. I have since found a new church that I feel I can really belong to and feel cares for me in turn. A big part of that was your music. It has brought pure joy to my heart and soul and I can never thank you enough for that. I listen to Fine Fine Life almost every morning and it never fails to put a smile on my face and improve my outlook for the day. Even my children can sing alone with the songs and they love them too! Thank you So much for all you do and please keep going. The world needs more pure spirits in the world like yours.

My son was born 4 weeks ago. He lived for 3 days on life supports and then died. I have so much faith in Jesus. My family has been through so much and God carried us through, but this broke my heart to a million pieces. He was my only son. There was no indication that he would be so sick and die. He had a stroke and was brain dead within hours of being born. He had hydrocephalus. The doctors were just as surprised as I was. Everything indicated a healthy baby boy. What should have been a joyous occasion, was one of the saddest days of my life. I have all this baby stuff, a C-section to heal from, and no baby to hold. Traumatized is how I feel.
I was sitting in the car today just crying so hard. I had just been to the dentist, and the hygienist remembered me from 6 months earlier. She asked me how my baby was. I lost it. I broke down and cried and couldn't stop. I went back out to my car to avoid the stares and awkwardness. The radio played "Busted Heart" in the middle of my break down. It was my heart's cry. It came at the exact moment that I was asking God to hold me and keep me from falling off the edge into despair and depression. I need to be whole for my two girls at home, and for my husband. I have never heard of For King and Country, but that song helped me to have the words I needed to pray. It helped me pull it together when the tears did not seem like they would ever stop. It moved me. I had to hear it again so I looked you up on the Internet. I checked out the other songs and I have become a fan of your music. God bless you. I hope you continue to use your gift. God is using it to help people like me. Music is a powerful ministry.
