Platinum-selling worship band Hillsong United recently released the expanded edition of their new record Are We There Yetin the midst of what Jonathan "JD" Douglass described as a prolonged and "challenging" season that has made their music truer than ever.
Douglass has called Hillsong Church his home church since he was 4 years old. In a recent video interview with The Christian Post, he candidly shared how he's been doing in the aftermath of numerous scandals that have rocked the Hillsong global church network.

But the good thing is, I feel like we experienced God in such a new and fresh way and all the things that we write and sing about have never been more true, even for us.”
