Christian Rock Band Casting Crowns “Thrives” at Ford Center

It was a celebration of faith as Christian Rock band Casting Crowns brought their “Thrive Tour” to Ford Center Thursday night along with special guests Mandisa and Sidewalk Prophets. The evening began with Sidewalk Prophets’ “Just Might Change,” which had the audience immediately on their feet. Afterwards Mandisa moved concert goers by speaking about her testimony and performing some of her hits including “Good Morning,” “Stronger,” and “Overcomer.”

The audience cheered as one as Casting Crowns opened with hits “Lifesong Sings, “Whole World Hears” and selections from their newest album, Thrive, including “All You’ve Ever Wanted,” “This is Now,” and much more. They ended the show with an encore performance, eventually leaving the stage singing “Glorious Day,” as the audience gave a standing ovation.

“Over 4,000 fans enjoyed the music and ministry of Casting Crowns, Mandisa, and Sidewalk Prophets in their first appearance at Ford Center,” said Cliff Reiser, President of Rush Concerts. “We look forward to bringing more Contemporary Christian music to Evansville.”
