Ronald Kraut’s Pentecost (2003). Stained glass in Our Lady of Pentecost Church in Quezon City, Philippines.

Disclaimer: All of these bands release albums/songs that are faith-based and some also release albums/songs that are not. However, all these artists have something thoughtful and poignant to say about who God is or who we are created to be.  I hope their music encourages, challenges, and comforts you as it has for me!
