With RUN WILD. LIVE FREE. LOVE STRONG., for KING & COUNTRY has created an album that lives up to the band’s name, a reflection of standing and fighting for something bigger than yourself, a mission statement that drove the duo from the first words written for this project until the last note was recorded.

“RUN WILD. LIFE FREE. LOVE STRONG. is a statement of reclaiming our birthright as humans to live a life that is for others--a life that is others-focused, God-focused—and in that find what it truly means to run wild, live free and love strong,” says Joel.

Available for pre-order now, iTunes is offering three Instant Grat Track downloads, including “Fix My Eyes,” “It’s Not Over Yet” and the newest single, “Without You (Feat. Courtney),” which hit No. 1 on the Christian & Gospel Top Songs iTunes® chart and is an inspiring, real life message of hope that features a beautiful duet with Luke’s wife Courtney. The song will also become the first video from RUN WILD. LIVE FREE. LOVE STRONG., which is slated to debut later this week.
