The two members of the award-winning Christian band known for their energetic live performances and anthemic faith-filled lyrics say they want to bring hope to a society searching for answers. Joel and Luke Smallbone, who have won four Grammys and 10 GMA Dove Awards as part of For King & Country, are currently traveling the U.S. on their Unsung Hero tour and will embark on their Drummer Boy Christmas tour in December.

They also will release a concert-themed movie, A Drummer Boy Christmas, in theaters December 5-9. 

The group's high-energy, multi-level concerts, they say, are a door to the gospel. 

"You obviously want those to be stimulating; you want them to be interesting," Luke Smallbone told Crosswalk Headlines. "But it's the messages that people are coming to hear, which are hope-filled songs and words of encouragement." 

Like the first-century Christian Barnabas in the Bible, Smallbone wants the group's music to encourage listeners.
