Full-Length Studio Album from Jon Thurlow Tells Story of Redemption Through Trial. In his first full-length album since 2013, longtime International House of Prayer of Kansas City (IHOPKC) worship leader Jon Thurlow addresses themes of redemption, trial, and hope on Different Story. Written and recorded in the middle of a stormy season of life, and a three-year journey in the making, this album is a grace of God album. He brought it all together. The entire process has been a testimony of His mercy, His gentleness, and His faithfulness. Interwoven into these songs are parts of my own journey with Him, my prayers to Him, as well as His words to me (and to all of us). May we each come up from the wilderness leaning on Him. The title track to Jon's first Nashville recording was influenced by his first time working with legendary multi-Grammy-Award-winning producer Brown Bannister, and multi-talented Ben Shive (Laura Hackett Park, Brandon Heath, Bebo Norman, JJ Heller, Andrew Peterson). "I had a melody and some lyrics, and I was talking to Brown about how the Lord takes our messed up, broken stories and He redeems - He rewrites them through Jesus," Jon says. "It's avery hopeful song, an anthem."
