The idea of The Digital Age came from several conversations about the current state of technology and how we as humans can now interact. With the rise of the internet, our neighbors are no longer the people who live next to us. We have relationships with people not only within our communities and in our cities, but across the globe. Ideas and information spread quickly and shape how we choose to connect or disconnect from those around us. For example, the majority of the final DC*B album was recorded in separate locations. Files were uploaded and shared on a private server, and many artistic interactions occurred behind the veil of a computer screen. 1s and 0s turned into sounds, and sounds turned into songs. What started as small files are now songs that can be found floating across the internet. We are all neighbors. We are all connected. Art is everywhere, free to give and take. We live in the digital age.
In the small college town of Waco, TX, home of Baylor University, The Digital Age has its roots planted at University Baptist Church. Throughout the life of the church, the members of the band have been leading worship there in some form or fashion since its inception in 1995. “We really feel at home here and committed to the investment we’ve made in this community, so right away we knew we wanted to stay in Waco.”
The members of The Digital Age believe that the Church is beautiful, diverse, creative, and alive, and that these qualities should be reflected in the music the Church creates. Above all, The Digital Age strives to pursue excellence in all things to further the kingdom of God.

You've captured me again
Love
You steal my heart
And oh when I reach out
You're always there
You've captured me again
You steal my heart
And oh when I reach out
You're always there
Cause love has come to rescue me
Your love has come to set me free
Your love, love is all I need
Your love
Hey!
Love
You've captured me again
Oh my God
You steal my heart
And oh when I cry out
You're always there
Cause love has come to rescue me
Your love has come to set me free
Your love, love is all I need
Your love
Your love has come to rescue me
Your love has come to set me free
Your love, love is all I need
Your love
I've never felt more found
Than when I'm lost in you
My head may spin around
Like the stars of the night sky do
Your love has come to rescue me

Kevin Mullen: I couldn't agree more. It's about worshiping God in every way but especially by using our God given gifts. These four guys definitely have a gift for making great music. They could be writing songs about anything but instead they're using their God given talents to worship Him! In the process they're helping others, like me, to worship Him too. That is a wonderful thing.
