Today (Apr 4), two-time GRAMMY-nominated, GMA Dove Award-winning and RIAA Gold-selling Sanctus Real shares the official music video for “The Difference.”

“We’ve all felt like hope has been missing in our world for a while,” Lolli offers. “We go to churches all over the country, and it’s become one of our greatest mission fields, because we see so many depressed and sad people in the church. So, we are in a season of writing songs about hope. When you put your faith in Jesus, He doesn’t just give you hope; He is our hope.”

“This song points to one thing only as the reason we believe we are transformed into new creations, and that’s through a relationship with Jesus,” adds Rohman. “It’s a declaration of what we believe is possible through Jesus.”

The transformational hope the band is focused on in the writing room as they work toward their next album, their fourth full-length project with Lolli, is also a value that compels them to take their music across the country.

“We still love getting out there on the road and meeting people and making that personal, face-to-face connection. We don’t want a screen to constantly be between them and us. We literally put it in our band name 29 years ago; we want to be real. We want everything we do to be authentic,” drummer Mark Graalman offers. “I feel like we’re a better live band now than we’ve ever been.”
