Hey y’all.
I was planning to do this earlier today but I totally forgot because I AM HIGHLY ORGANIZED.
But anyway. Think of this as a little mid-day bloggy fun.
Third Day‘s latest (oh-so-awesome) CD, Revelation, hits stores today. And to celebrate that, Melanie, Carlos and I have a golden opportunity for you to win some stuff.
Some Third Day stuff.
I’m guessing you probably figured out that last part by now.
So.
If you’d like to a chance to win a copy of Revelation as well as a t-shirt autographed by the members of the band, leave a question for Third Day in my comments. You can ask them about music, about faith, about whatever.
Well, maybe not about math. I can’t fathom they’d want to answer questions about math. But maybe I’m just bringing my own personal math-related baggage to the Q&A table.
Anyway. Leave a question. Mark from Third Day will pick five of them (and five from Mel’s comments, and five from Carlos’ comments) to answer on his blog on August 18th. And EVERYBODY who leaves a question will be entered into the CD / t-shirt drawing. If you want to enter the drawing three times, just ask a different question at each of three participating blogs.
There. I believe that’s all.
Rock on.

My husband and my first “date” after our son’s birth was the Third Day concert in Davis, CA. It was a great concert!
What did you all do for a living prior to making it with your music? Could you give examples of how God covered you during the dry times?
God bless you!
oh yay, love third day…..ok so my question is what is your FAV song of all the songs that are on your cds and WHY??
thanks for an awesome giveaway!!! :D
Okay. Not your typical question, but here goes…
Does Clinton M. still run sound for you guys?
He and my brother-in-law used to work together with Darrell Evans way back when. I remember how wonderful Clinton was, and thought, how blessed this group “Third Day” must be to have him, when I found out Clinton was working with them years and years ago.
and now. here you are.
my favorite group of all time.
ever.
I sing your songs out loud while I’m blow drying my hair, driving my car, etc… and let me tell you, when no one else is around, I harmonize PERFECTLY with you.
not sure what happens when people can hear me. somehow it’s just not the same.
:)
Do get tired of traveling?
Do you make song that reflects God’s love for teenage girls? My daughter loves your music but I haven’t listen to it yet jsut wanted to know the influence you have on young girls and if it’s okay for her to listen too!
Have you guys ever felt pressured to “water down” your lyrics in order to have a crossover hit?
Can you describe some of the process you go through when writing new songs? How do you decide (i.e. voting? certain band members?) which songs to include on CDs, in concerts, etc.?
I hope I win!
What is the strangest thing a fan has said or done?
I once heard you sum up your goal in seven words, “We have their attention, let’s keep it”. You have my attention. Time after time you have managed to bring me closer to God with your music. What ingredient does a band add to accomplish goose bumps, a sore throat from singing praise, and the ultimate feeling that you are closer to God…all with a three minute song? By the way Third Day, you owe me a set of car speakers!
How do you juggle touring and home life and remain in the ministry without getting burned out?
My question is, looking back on your life what do you see as your “defining moment.”
Thanks!
Sort of makes my head hurt to think, but I would like to ask about life on the road.
Do families travel with you? Does it at all feel like “home” or do you just bide time until you get back home home?
Yippee!
When are you going to sing more hymns? I love them… especially “Praise to the Lord.”
What is your favorite scripture passage and why?
Do you travel with our without your families and how do you balance your hectic touring schedule with family time?
Love the new CD by the way!!! A great way for me to worship!
What type of music did you listen to as a child growing up? Does it influence your music today?
Thanks for the great giveaway!!! :)
I’d love to know if the band meets on a regular basis to seek/praise/hear from God?
I always wonder that about Christian bands… are they coming together before the Lord not only to know Him, and His will for their lives (band) but to return unto Him the praise and blessings they’ve received because of and or by Him.
Thanks Sophie for hosting this…
I would love to ask Third Day to tell us about their families :)
I am curious why the band decided on “Third Day” for their name. . .
I really can’t think of any other questions since everyone else is asking similar ones but WE LOVE THIRD DAY in this house!
When and if you come to Australia again, could you please come to Darwin? You went to Launceston, Tasmania in 2005… my husband happened to be visiting his parents at the time so he went and saw you, and has gloated ever since *grin* I was so envious!
How often do you get home when you’re out promoting a new record? Can we really call it a record since it’s a CD?
What christian authors or devotional books do you read at home, or as a group when traveling?
I’m so thrilled that you are performing on the Tonight Show! I really like Jay Leno and LOVE your music!! What a super opportunity to witness for the Lord =)
My question is what/where is the time and place that you accepted Christ into your heart?
God bless….
Where was your favorite place that you gave a concert? What made it so special?
How do you like to recover from being on tour? Are there special things you do to reconnect with your families?
It’s the end of a long day with teenagers and a preschooler…so my thoughts run to deep and spiritual questions such as if Third Day were a flavor of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream…what would it be called and why?
How’s that for deep…love your music…wish you all would get out to Portland, Oregon more often!
What other artists do you guys like? BTW, you guys are AWESOME!! I love your music!!
How/When does music come to you? Words first or music?
Your older song “When the Rain Comes” really speaks to me in times of despair. Is there a story behind the writing on this one? Thank you for your ministry.
“I Wanna Be a Rockstar” seriously cracks me up. What made you all want to record that song?
Thanks! Jen
Is there any passage in the Bible that just makes you crack up and think, “Why did God put THAT in there?”
What is one fiction book that you would read over and over again?
If you don’t like to read, then this question is obviously irrelevant.
But I’d like to win anyway.
Okay, I have all your cd’s (except Revelation – but I’m gettin’ it!) and it’s a given y’all love Jesus.
What I’m dying to know is what kind of hair products Mac uses because his coiffe was perfection on Leno. There just had to be some great smoothing creme or shine mist going on there.
This isn’t a question, but I just wanted to let Third Day know that I will always remember that their song “You Are Beautiful My Sweet Sweet Song” was playing on the radio as my husband and I were driving our first child home from the hospital back in 2003. What a great memory.
Here’s a question: What is your favorite traditional hymn and why?
This isn’t very spiritual, but how do you keep from getting on each other’s last nerve when you’re on the road?!
Will you let me (and my husband) come backstage and meet you during your concert on Friday, October 3 in The Woodlands, TX (Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion)?
Thanks for the cool giveaway!
I know your songs are written and performed to worship and bring others into worship with the Lord. My question is this: Do you ever get tired of performing certain songs? I don’t see how you couldn’t…I think I would after a while.
I’d love to ask Third Day to tell us how they got their start in music, and about their faith journey.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
How do you balance family and ministry?
Just 1 question (selfish I know) – Will you be in/near Switzerland any time soon?
Love the service and the music!
Where do you get the ideas for your songs? Daily devotionals, Bible studies, life events, anything and everything?
Your music hits such personal notes with so many different people. What were the major life events that inspired your favorite lyrics?
How do you find a family/work balance?
You are remarkably busy and talented. Your days must be full. How, in the midst of all that busyness, do you keep your faith alive/fresh?
How can I pray for you?
Favorite Olympic Sport?
What is on your IPOD?
If YOU could open for another band who would it be? (Please say U2 because I’m hitting Jesus up to let you and Bono lead worship in the main throne room)
one more?
If you could play at any avenue you haven’t yet, where would you play? In other words,where’s your “dream stage”?
Has there been a point in your music ministry where you realized that you were way bigger than you ever expected to be? Did it catch you by surprise?
Mac Powell, If you could change your voice to sound like any singer, who would you want to sound like?
