too many drummers

I
n our lives we are constantly bombarded by voices telling us where to find our identities. For many, each day is a gauntlet of doubt, insecurity, and desperation for something better. The longing inside of us reveals our soul’s unrest with the way things are.  All too often our quest for significance is transformed into feeble attempts to dull the pain.  The world medicates our needs the only way it can: with temporary highs and hollow distractions. 

Too Many Drummers stands against the host of messages clamoring to convince you that meaning can be purchased or consumed.  You are worth far more than they allow you to believe.  The music of Too Many Drummers points to the reality of a meaningful existence outside of the concert of the world’s voices - a life of wholeness found in Jesus Christ.
