This touches my heart because I remember when they first appeared on the scene.
They can be youthful and playful, but when it's time to put in work for Jesus, watch out.
They are going to hit you with a one-two punch. I knew something was going on when things got quiet.
During our interview on His Hop TV, I asked them what was going on in the past few years.

"I can tell you this much.
God was definitely cultivating us; we were definitely being refined and definitely being put under pressure.
Yeah, you have a testimony before you come to the Lord. There are still things to work on when you are in the Lord.
There are still some things you have to get away from. There are still things you have to get delivered.
God allowed us to go through the fire, but we did not smell like smoke.
We had to be humble, learn, and relearn that God was doing a work inside of us.
God has been telling us that He is going to put us in the forefront.
He is going to give us a platform, but the platform is only for lifting up His name.
I believe God wanted to deal with some heart issues within us.
The moment we got back into it, everything had accelerated quickly.
Sometimes, as artists, we forget that we have a powerful influence over people, especially the younger generation.
It's almost like the song 7 did when he was out of the scene for two years, and I'm like, Lord, are you doing that to us too?"?
