I'm listening to the new Jars of Clay album today, due out in October! You can listen to it streaming right now HERE.

Its a cool concept for an album, and especially intriguing to me as we dive further into community here at August Gate. Here is what the band has to say about their pending release.

Our upcoming album, The Shelter (Oct. 5), was deeply inspired by an old Irish proverb that says, “It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.” Both physical and spiritual community are ideas that are a part of every song on this project. We would love to hear your stories of community: What does it mean to you? What is your community story? How are you living in community?

I would love to hear your responses to the questions they ask.... tell me about how you are engaged in community!

much love

Todd
