Skillet

"We're having a great time on the road with the Benjamin
Gate and 38th Parallel.  The tour is going well and people are getting
saved.  I wish that thousands were getting saved, but God is calling who He wants and we are glad to be a part of His plans!'

"Something that we feel is hugely important, that is sometimes skipped over, is the need to experience God.  Young Christians know a lot about God but don't experience Him.  In fact, it's not just young Christians, but people of all ages.  Jesus said in John 4 that God is looking for worshippers who worship in spirit and in truth.  People tend to worship in spirit or in truth, but not usually both."

"If we are going to be the radical generation that God has called us to be, then we must not be afraid to worship in spirit.  This may seem funny or obvious to some, but I meet many people who are afraid of the Holy Spirit; and even more afraid of putting too much emphasis on Him (notice I said "Him" because the Holy Spirit is not an "it").  The Holy Sprit is God, and He is the one who lives in you, teaches and comforts you.'

"People have been asking for years, and it's finally happened:  my wife, Korey, is pregnant!  We decided this year that it is time for us to go for it.  Skillet life is probably going to change, but I'm excited to be a father."

Skillet is going to be part of a Luis Palau Television special which airs on  PAX TV on Easter Sunday.  The program features clips from Beachfest Santa Cruz, including some Skillet tunes and the full Gospel message by Luis.
