(Photo submitted) For 15 years, Third Day has been among the most popular Christian rock bands.

Christian rock band Third Day will be making a stop at the Clay County Regional Events Center in Spencer on their Music Builds Tour on Saturday, Nov. 1. Special guests NeedToBreathe and Revive will open for Third Day.

The three-hour show will start at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6 p.m.

During the past 15 years, Third Day has built an impressive career. The Georgia-based band has won 23 Gospel Music Association Dove Awards, three Grammy Awards, earned two consecutive American Music Award nods, and multiple ASCAP honors for their songwriting skills.

Their catalog of hits has helped define the Christian radio landscape for more than a decade while the band scored 24 No. 1 singles and sold more than six million albums. Hit songs for Third Day include "Run to You," Born Again," "This Is Who I Am," and the first single, "Call My Name," all of which have been musical stepping stones on the band's personal journey.

In writing and recording the music on Revelation, the men in Third Day came to terms with the fact they don't have all the answers, but they know the One who does, and they can glean comfort and peace in that knowledge. "Sharing God's love with people has always been core to us," said drummer David Carr. "We want to reiterate that God loves us. That is a concept that should never get old."

Guitarist Mark Lee added, "Our goal for the album is for these songs to hold out hope for people.

Our desire is that people do relate to a lot of struggles that are in some of these songs, but at the same time on this album, they find strength, hope, and encouragement."
