Voices are everywhere; they're all around us offering perspective. There are the voices that insist we're not good enough no matter how hard we try. Others remind us again and again of past failures. Despite the chaos and confusion that comes with everyday life, there's only one voice that really matters: God's. His voice is unlike any other, one of encouragement, hope and love—a voice from home.

It's that reassuring message, the words that God sings over His children through the scriptures in a world full of fear and self doubt, that fuels the songs on FFH's sixth studio project, Voice From Home. "These are God's words to you," FFH vocalist Jennifer Deibler says.

With seven No. 1 radio singles to their credit and an additional seven Dove Award nominations, FFH stepped away from their usual worship style and took inspiration from pastor and author, Rich Stevenson. Through his relationship as a mentor to frontman Jeromy Deibler and road pastor to the close-knit band, Stevenson shared with FFH the concept of his 2006 book "Voice From Home."

"'Voice From Home' the book centers around the three times that God the Father spoke audibly to His Son, Jesus," Stevenson explains. "I realized that at crucial points in Christ's ministry the Father spoke words that made all the difference in the world."

He adds, "At Christ's baptism, the Father established Christ's identity as the beloved son. In Luke 9, the Father challenged His Son with His life consuming purpose. And in John 12, while Christ was anticipating the agony of His crucifixion, the Father promised that He would glorify His name through Him. These are the same words God is saying to all of His children."

The record enhances that message with songs based in the heart of God through scripture. The album's first track, "The Only Hand You Need," has God asking His child, "Why do you keep on holding on to everything but me?" "It's kind of the spine of the album," Jeromy says of the song. "The rest of the album begins to weave in God bringing us back to him."
