    I listened to this song hundreds of times after losing the biggest project of my career. That loss, coupled with that particular client, my sacrifice of time with my kids and my wife, loss of friends in the previous year, loss of my business' future, and not to mention all of the stresses of current world events, brought me to giving up on my trust in God. I hadn't really put that into words until now. I asked the group at the Chicago show this summer "how do you keep your grip on it all?" And Daniel reminded me of Jeremiah 17:7. That moment and this song have reminded me again and again that even if all I can do is hold on, I'll try. Thank you, Kings K.

      @@joemamicha349 Honestly, this is one of the nicest acts of kindness--someone just asking how I'm doing. Thank you.
      I have to admit, it's been an uphill battle. I have had to admit that my faith journey has really been a result of mis-belief. I am prone to wander, as it were. I have put so much of my life's goals in a system that makes me feel guilty and flawed, only to have thin answers for real troubles. And yet...I still feel connected somehow to the plight of Jesus and the mission of the cross as I understand the real underpinnings of a faith that went against Roman and Greek understanding of the world. I think so much of my faith has really been a misunderstanding. But I am still aiming for more. As Andy Mineo's 'Clarity' has reminded me, faith without question is really just ignorance. I continue to pursue... And again, thank you for checking in.

      “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.”
      ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬
      You’ve got this brother. I can’t imagine the heartache you’ve gone through but just know you’re not alone. Jesus is always there for sure, and you’ve got countless brothers and sisters all across the world cheering you on. I don’t know you but I sure do love you. Keep fighting the good fight.

      hello@@pscharnett so sorry for not replying earlier, just got to read this now. Wow in some sort of way, you've expressed what i feel like i'm going through too: deconstruction. Not the extreme kind that pushes Jesus out the picture completely but the kind that sifts out misbeliefs and misunderstandings but as you rightly put it , still aiming for more.I've not listened to Andy mineo's Clarity yet but i sure will. God bless you friend and thank you for the reply. I'm from Kenya btw thought it be cool for you to know.

      ​@pscharnett hey brother, how's life been the last 3 months or so?
      I am like you, I think. We are not alone. I don't know the answers anymore, I wish I did.
      I hold onto being the sinner in the synagogue beating my breast and the desparate father saying, "I believe, Lord help my unbelief."
      I pray Christ has mercy on us all.

    [Chorus]
    Wasn't I worth it?
    Wasn't I workin'?
    Gave it all I got
    Gave it all I got
    Haven't I earned it?
    Wasn't I workin'?
    Gave it all I got
    Gave it all I got
    [Post-Chorus]
    Holdin' on is all I need
    Dyin' tryna hold onto my dream (Holdin' on)
    (Holdin' on)
    [Chorus]
    Wasn't I worth it?

    Holdin' on is all I need
    Dyin' tryna hold onto my dream (Holdin' on)
    Holdin' on is all I need
    Holdin' on to hope, you hold me (Hold me, holdin', holdin' on)

    This album was a let down tbh. Seems like they went way out of element on it and slapped it together just to put something out. Walk away was the only decent song, and even it was weird. Maybe I'm getting old.

      No you're exactly right. This album pales in comparison to Zeal and Beyond Control, both masterpieces of storytelling, lyrical composition, and groove. Luckily, their most recent album puts them right back on track doing what they do well.

      ​@@harrisonrakhshani4706 what did you think of Beauty Between?
      I absolutely love Baptized Imagination.
      I got into KK through "Sticks and Stones" and then through the Beauty Between album but Baptized Imagination and Zeal are by far my favorites.
      I feel like Zeal and BI have more in common than Zeal has with Beyond Control.
      For me it goes Baptized and Zeal as tied for first, or maybe Zeal with a slight lead because of the absolute euphoria of the Rush trio of songs.
      Then Beauty Between a bit down from there, the rap is hit and miss but holisitcally I love the sound and its nostalgic for me as a young believer finding that album first.
      What I know for sure is that I just cannot get into their first album. I like some of the indie-ish math rockish bits of their 2nd and 3rd albums.
      The newest, self titled album was initially unimpressive to me on first listen but has grown on me a lot after repeated listens.
      I saw them last Thursday in Seattle, they were doing this small set "unplugged" thing. Very different vibe than their usual shows.
      They are my favorite band.
