The Washington Projects: Commanding The Resistance

We are.


I guess that's kind of a similar message. Can you tell us a little bit about that tour and what it's all about?


Yeah sure. That tour is amazing. We've only done two or three dates on the tour now, but just from the beginning, it was an amazing thing for me. From the very first show, the kids that come to this tour. . . A lot of them have been coming to it for years prior to this year, so they already know what it's about and they're just pumped from the get-go and it's all about equipping them and sending them out to go do [ministry]. . . So it's amazing to me.


A lot of the tours that we do are based around just entertaining people and that's great, but this tour in particular, I felt very blessed to be on. These kids are just really getting pumped. They're really ready to go and go out and share. And thanks to the pastor and the main speaker who are on the tour. He's an amazing man and he's the one who is pushing these kids to go out and do this themselves and to realize that it's not just him standing up there or these groups standing up there or the other speakers. It's for them. We're trying to help them and equip them to be able to do it.

And they do some skits on this tour that blew my mind. The first time I saw them, there were tears in my eyes. They're just very, very real. They're not doing cheesy stuff where it's all just sugar-coated for all the Christian kids to see something they've seen in church their whole lives. It's very real. They're being very real with these kids. And then just starting out with being blunt about where the world is at and the condition that this world is in, they explain that this is why it's so important for [the kids] to go out and do what you're called to do. It's really, really a huge blessing for us to be a part of because it's basically what we're about as well. It's very cool to be on a tour where everyone is of one mind and one heart and everyone is just awesome on the tour. It's just been a really cool experience on that tour so far. We still have more. . . It's starts back up in February and we'll be going until April or March. So, I'm excited. It's a pretty cool tour.


It sounds pretty cool.


Yeah.


Alright, well, I'll let you go after this one, and I'm changing things up here.


Alright.


It's kind of a fun question: If you could describe The Washington Projects in terms of a coffee shop order, what would that order be?


(laughs) Ooooh. . . let's see. . . I would say that you would be ordering a White Chocolate Frappalatte, Double Pump with Whipped Cream on top and Caramel swirlies.


Alright, now i'm off to Starbucks. . .


(laughs)


Alright, so Commanders of the Resistance is out now. Available everywhere.


Yes it is.


Thanks for taking some time out of your morning rituals to chat with me.


(laughs) I should go brush my teeth or something.


(laughs)


Thank you. It's been really nice talking with you.


You as well. Have a great day.
