Crowder on ‘The Exile’ Album and Christians Living Faithfully in Dark Times

Grammy-nominated artist Crowder says the message of his latest album is simple but necessary for Christians living in a dark culture: “Everything’s going to be okay.” The cover of the album is Exilefeatures photographs of arid, desolate land; the album’s 30-second intro includes an ominous audio warning: “In case of nuclear or radioactive fallout, take shelter.” But at its heart is a hopeful message for Christians who, as one song puts it, feel like “strangers in a strange land.”

Exile It is the current No. 1 album on Billboard’s Christian Albums chart and is the second release in an album trilogy, the first of which is Milk and Honey And finally returnHe said the themes of the trilogy reflect the story of the Old Testament Israelites, who were given the Promised Land but were forced from it before being allowed by God to return, he said.

“Everything’s going to be okay,” Crowder said of the album’s main message. “He’s still in control. He’s still sovereign.”
