Mark Hall, lead singer and founder of the group, would agree, but for an entirely different set of reasons. "I wish I could pull together a big book of all of the emails and letters we have received. We have people contacting us from around the world telling us story after story of how this record has impacted their lives." comments Mark. "I still cannot believe what God is doing through this ministry."

Ministry is what defines Casting Crowns. All of the members are still active in local church ministry in spite of the over 200 concert appearances they have made over the last 2 years. Mark Hall, in fact, is still employed as the youth pastor at his home church, although he has had to hire some additional help due to his hectic schedule.
