We The Kingdom releases new anthem declaring faith over fear amid COVID-19
Written by Sunny Unachi on 4th May 2020
Chart-topping Christian band We The Kingdom believes there’s never been a more important time to declare God’s truth in the face of fear, especially amid the anxiety and uncertainty fueled by the coronavirus.
Last week, the Georgia-based group — made up of Ed Cash, Scott Cash, Franni Rae Cash, Martin Cash and Andrew Bergthold — released their sophomore single “Don’t Tread On Me,” a powerful anthem that reminds believers of the power that is theirs through Christ.
“We wrote the song before the coronavirus hit, but we thought through the irony of releasing it right now,” Scott told The Christian Post. “I think that people are terrified, and rightfully so. We’re facing an enemy in the world that we’ve never seen before. When we face uncertainty, it can often bring fear. The song is really timely and we hope that listeners can use it as a tool when facing the unknown and the fear that comes along with that.”
The single release comes on the heels of the group’s hit “Holy Water” featuring Grammy Award-winning artist Tasha Cobbs Leonard. The song, accompanied by a live video, spent seven consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Christian AC chart and amassed 27 million global streams.
“I think it’s important for people to know that in the battle of life, it’s OK to declare what we know about ourselves and the truth that we live by,” Martin said. “An important tool in the battle is not only to pray and be in communication with the Lord, but to declare your truths and beliefs as well.”
Earlier this year, the group released the EP Live Acoustic Sessions which included acoustic renditions of some of their fan-favorites, and they can also be heard as featured artists on multiple tracks on Bethel Music’s latest album, Peace.
We The Kingdom, which has opened for other chart-topping Christian artists including Chris Tomlin, Kari Jobe, and Zach Williams, plans to resume their touring schedule this fall. The group recently spoke with CP about their catchy new single, their songwriting process, and their heart for providing hope amid difficult times.
