Having read that Mr Hare is the pastor and worship leader of one of the largest churches in the USA's North East I was expecting this to be one of those worship-by-numbers albums where local church musicians are content to replicate the sound of Tomlin, Hillsong United, et al. Instead, this is a delicious set of pop dance songs which, thanks to some wiley songwriting and expert production from Seth Mosley, avoids most of the pitfalls of the EDM genre and keeps the hooks coming across the electro rhythms even when Steve engages in a Phillips, Craig & Dean cover on "Our God Is Here". "The Effect" is danceworthy while "On The Edge" is a track that is crying out for a club remix. Possibly the best cut of all is the opener, "A Heart Like Your Own", which also demonstrates that Steve is a good lyricist as well ("It's not a slot machine/It's not a get rich scheme/It's nothing I can just name and claim/Your love is bigger than my selfless dreams and plans/I lay them in your hands/So take these reigns"). If Steve hasn't got enough on his plate, he is also the founder and CEO of the Reach Radio Network which owns and operates 23 FM radio stations. Clearly our man knows what sounds good on radio and you'll be hearing several of the cuts from this gem on Cross Rhythms radio in the months to come.

One of the most unique things about Steve is his ability to reach large numbers of people through his different ministry efforts.
