Farewell

Bread of Stone

It’s been a long time coming for this post. We have thought of timing, wording, and circumstances of when it would be appropriate with share this with each of you. After a while we have come to the realization that Bread of Stone has never been about finding the right time but just sharing what’s in our hearts in the moment in real time - so here we are :)

When we finished the set at our last show in Schaumburg, IL on March 1, 2020 we didn’t know we were walking off the stage or tearing down the merch for the last time. It was not by our choice - but the realization came slowly after 2020 and 2021 that the Lord’s timing is always right even when it does not make sense to us. We did not take Bread of Stone lightly, it was a great blessing and responsibility that the Lord had trusted us with. We came to the point where the Lord made it evident to us that He had already moved us on to a completely different season in life - shifting and leading us to places that are out of our comfort zone and pushing us farther than we ever thought possible. While music and ministry will always be a part of our lives we made the final decision in the beginning of 2022 to no longer take any bookings for live performance.

As many of you can imagine - this was not an easy decision by any means. Bread of Stone has been such a big part of our lives the past eighteen years and will continue to be. The ministry and the people that came along side and all the friends and family we met along the way will forever have such a special place in our hearts. ♥️

We want to say thank you to each of you reading this. If you are taking the time to read this long post you have most likely been a significant and influential person in our life and our ministry. We love and appreciate all the prayers, encouragement, supporting us and coming to shows, hosting concerts, supporting The Light Project through merchandise, feeding us, hanging out with us, and of course singing along with us over the years.

In many ways this is not an end…but a joyful continuation of the next chapter that just happens to not have as many notes and harmonies but the sound of LOVE will continue to echo in our hearts and in our daily walk for the rest of our lives in whatever this journey leads us to next.

We never planned a post like this being in our future but as we all know the curve balls that the Lord throws come swiftly and quickly.  We will forever thank Jesus for His blessings of Bread of Stone and all the lessons He taught us along the way. We are blessed that He would give us such an opportunity for so many years to serve Him in such a fun, powerful way. To God be the Glory!

God bless you all! -Bread of Stone

If I would some up 2017 in one word, it would be blessings. Blessings of many different musical opportunities as a band, blessings of a new home, a new family and having another year to serve, learn and grow.

The year was full of change and a total transformations for me.

It all began in March while on the bus in a little church parking lot in Terrell, Texas. It was there, I felt God’s presence like I never have before. The wind blew and the bus shook as I was delivered from the spirit of perfectionism that ruled my life for so long.

Freedom is something we as a band often sing about, but I finally came to the realization my singing it was prayer yearning for that freedom. Now it is my proclamation as I have that freedom.

The strongholds that kept me bound were now gone for good. The physical didn’t change for me. I still strive to do my best and be perfect in what I do, but in my heart and to who’s standard of perfectionism I hold myself to, is what has changed.

It seems like such a small shift, but it makes the world of a difference!

In May, I got married and was able to celebrate with my band family by my side. On my 3rd Anniversary since joining Bread of Stone, Skylar and I had our first bus call as husband and wife. The love and support we have from not only our families, but from this community of believers we’re able to share life with - that we just happen to call ourselves Bread of Stone - is truly a blessing.

Blessings come in all shapes and sizes - the good, even the bad and everything in between - that’s why God’s ways and His thoughts are not ours. No matter what path The Lord has us on and what He’s placed in front of us, it’s all to make us more like Jesus and therefore it’s all a blessing from God.

BOS Coverband to replace us for the Super Bowl Halftime Show!

We were invited to play at the Super Bowl Halftime Show this year, but being so busy with our new record we declined. So we sent this "Mini-BOS" cover band in our place. Here is a sneak peak! ;)

Porcelain Hits #1 on Billboard Christian Rock Chart!

Coming to you from Bandung, Indonesia!

We are so excited to share the news that we hit #1 on Billboard's Christian Rock Chart!  Hearing this news while in Indonesia made it especially profound. Thoughts of radio adds, spins, and interviews, were left in the states when we boarded the plane. This meant somewhat of initial shock when we found our single Porcelain at #3 last week, and unbelief when we were told it hit #1!

We are so grateful this happened during our time in Indonesia because it is complete confirmation that this did not happen because of our efforts, the Lord chose this time to share his word through us with more and more people. The lyrics scream "come on and break me!" pleading to the Lord to break us of ourself, take away our masks, acts, and charades of being perfect to the eye when our hearts are screaming to be revived by the Holy Spirit. How fitting it is that this is exactly what our hearts have been meditating on here in Indonesia.  

We never wished to hit #1, but only desired that the Holy Spirit would move through our music. So whether we drop off the charts completely after this week or continue to stay at #1 we will continue to seek the Lord and be used by Him!

Thank you to all of the love and support from our friends and listeners! God bless you!

Not Alone is a collaboration of some of our favorite producers, musicians, and our own recording that began in the back lounge of our bus and continued on in our home. The theme of the album is simply LOVE.

We cannot wait for the world to hear the music and lyrics the Lord has given us!

God bless!

Rockin' Blend of Tunes

The past few months have been a whirlwind of writing and recording for all of us in Bread of Stone! Between recording in our home studio, traveling to other producer’s studios, and writing with various other artists in the Christian industry, we continued traveling and performing. The result of our efforts continues to be a rockin’ blend of tunes that push the current limits!

As of right now, we have a couple shows in December but are primarily concentrating on getting the new music out to our loyal fans as quick as possible! There is no set date yet for the release of the new album (hopefully that date will be out soon) but Ben says, “We are shooting for the first of the year. The Lord has given us a specific message to give to our listeners and we are eager to get the message out.”
