After two successful years, The Story will be returning for its third year, visiting 14 cities. Starring Casting Crowns, Steven Curtis Chapman, Natalie Grant, Matthew West, Nichole Nordeman, Selah and Rawsrvnt, along with author and speaker Randy Frazee and musical director Bernie Herms, The Story will also feature a full orchestra and children's choir. They will perform behind the artists as each song tells a first-person account of a specific biblical character and how they fit into the story of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.
Two of the artists talked about the project and the tour, sharing their excitement. Mark Hall of Casting Crowns, who is returning for his second year, said, "When a family comes to The Story concert and they see, person by person, how God has moved through history, they begin to see how the Bible fits together. God is working all things together for good. That is the message: that Jesus is the way to God and that He is writing our story." Natalie Grant added, "It is so exciting to be a part of an event that helps bring the Bible to life. Watching the audience grasp these biblical truths in new ways is especially rewarding. And I believe these are some of the greatest songs ever written, so it is an honor to sing them every night."
