Honest

Chris Llewellyn, the Irish singer/songwriter and founding member of the platinum-selling worship band Rend Collective, releases Honest (courtesy of Capitol CMG), his first solo project. With twelve Celtic-rooted songs as "the soundtrack to wrestling faith," Llewellyn musically explores life through a raw lens of honesty and inquisitiveness.

"Will God love you if you’re honest? Is He faithful when you’re faithless?" Chris Llewellyn best explains about his album. "These are the questions that I was asking when I was writing this album. It comes from a time in my life that was deeply full of struggle...when I got a medical diagnosis for my son that changed our lives as a family forever and changed my faith forever. And that’s what this is - this is the soundtrack to wrestling faith."

He continues, "This album is me reading my diary to you out loud - no filter. It’s full of hope and doubt, hurt feelings and conflict, yet, ultimately, faith. Not a shiny airbrushed faith, but something weathered, tested, and durable. It’s my hope that by ‘oversharing’ I can offer you a permission slip to ask your own bold questions. Because my story, and I believe the story of the Bible, is that the only kind of faith worth having comes when we take the risk of being honest."
