HolyName and Heal The Hurt have teamed up for a new song titled “Stained Glass.” You can check that out below:
HolyName’s Tommy Green commented:
“My deconstruction took me deeper into religion. A lot of other peoples’ deconstruction goes further away. I think people can get this song wherever they are. It’s saying, ‘I was sincere, and I was used. I was a believer, and now I don’t know what to do with it. But I’m finding through this new space in my life that I could love again.’”
Heal The Hurt‘s Trevor Tyson continued:
“It was based on my journey of feeling used and abused in this megachurch mentality. It’s like a corporate nightmare being pitched as God’s house. I justified not being involved in a local church community because I was working in Christian music world. I got so wrung through the wringer that I didn’t even know if I wanted to be a Christian anymore.”
He went on to say that he stayed with the church after finding a small orthodox congregation:
“It felt like a holy moment or a sacred space. I was able to break through this hurt that I felt that I had carried for close to a decade with the church because I felt like I was a black sheep. The stained glass that I once felt trapped by was shattered under my feet. It felt like a glimpse of heaven on earth.”
He also added the following about the single:
“I think it’s one of those universal themes: betrayal. Loving something and being brokenhearted. Letting go. Then finding solace in a place you never expected to after letting go.”
