It&#8217;s an age old message but refreshingly different from the typical Christian fare.<br \/>\nNeedham explains that the album was inspired by the realization that he &#8220;had shared the gospel with so many people in the flesh but all they knew was the Bible beater &#8230; There is something so appealing when we love like Jesus did. I missed out on that for so long. No more.&#8221;<br \/>\nNeedman is currently on tour in promotion of the album.
