A lot of times when we have doubt or we're questioning stuff, I think ultimately, it's because we're not stopping and remembering who God really is. When you take the time to remember who God is, then it's easy to ask, ‘who are we to not worship him?’"   About MercyMe: It continues to be a landmark time for the multi-platinum selling, GRAMMY® nominated, multiple American Music Award, Billboard Music Award and Dove Award winners MercyMe. They were recently named Billboard’s Top Christian Artist of the 2010 decade and in 2020 received their eighth American Music Award nomination.
