Sanctus Real talk spiritual burnout, ... and offering hope to the Church through music

After nearly 30 years in the Christian music industry, Sanctus Real noticed a troubling pattern: hope, once central to the church's message, was fading.
It was that realization that prompted the Dove Award-winning and twice Grammy-nominated band to release their latest single, "The Difference," a track that centers on their core belief in the transformative power of Jesus.
"When you believe in Jesus, we have a hope that's greater than this world," lead singer Dustin Lolli told The Christian Post. "And the only thing in us that changes is because of the belief in Jesus and what He does through us."
Lolli, who joined Sanctus Real in 2016 following the departure of former lead singer and co-founder, Matt Hammitt, said the song was born from ongoing conversations about what seemed absent in many churches the band visited across the country.
Written with songwriters Matt Armstrong and AJ Pruis, and sparked by a guitar riff from founding member Chris Rohman, the single continues the band's recent thematic focus on spiritual resilience and recovery.
"It seems like people are missing the hope part of Christianity," Lolli said. "We always start writing with that question: What message do we want to send? We take it seriously."
