Dear Friends,

Today is the official release of our new album, Shine [Live in Studio]! We are so excited to share this full-length debut with the world. All of you have already been listening to it for months, so today is a great opportunity to share your personal comments/reviews of the new album at www.facebook.com/mysteriumonline. We'd love to hear what you think!

We'd also love for you to help us spread the word about the new album. Here are some suggestions, to make it easy on you for posting via Twitter & Facebook:

#theglorycollective's new album 'Shine [Live in Studio]' is now on iTunes: http://ow.ly/ek2MH @MysteriumOnline #Oct9thRelease #glory2013

or

Our friends at #theglorycollective have a new album now available on iTunes! http://ow.ly/ek2MH @MysteriumOnline #Oct9thRelease #glory2013

(If you post to Facebook, please include any personal comments/reviews of the new album! And don't forget to give us a 5-star rating on iTunes and leave comments... every bit of attention helps us climb the charts!)

AND anyone who tags @MysteriumOnline or #TheGloryCollective, or shares any of these content pieces, will be entered to backstage passes to Love Come Alive in Nashville on Saturday, Nov. 10! Either we'll spot the tag, or you can drop us a note at info@mysteriumonline.com letting us know you did, and we'll put your name in the hat.

Thanks again for everything you do! We don't take your support for granted. Here's to God's glory and authentic culture!

Much love,
The Glory Collective

Thanks to everyone for your tremendous support in the last several weeks! Major kudos to Josh Price, Michael Beach, and Scott Anderson for all their help with shipping nearly 200 packages since last Tuesday. If for some reason you don't receive your package by the beginning of next week (or something is missing), please let us know. Also, please let me know if you've had any trouble downloading the digital tracks from Dropbox.

If you haven't already, leave your feedback of the album on our Facebook pages (facebook.com/mysteriumonline & facebook.com/theglorycollective) and Twitter profile (@MysteriumOnline, #TheGloryCollective).

Much love to you all! By the way, the information below was officially released today, and we'd love for each of you to be a part of Love Come Alive in Nashville this November. :-)

---------------------------

The 2012 Love Come Alive talent search has begun! The prize? Performing in front of 750+ new fans at Rocketown in Nashville on Nov. 10. The rules? Tweet a YouTube link of you performing an original song with lyrics in the comments section. Be sure to mention @MysteriumOnline and #LoveComeAlive so we see it. We will judge based on the truth and beauty of the song and the quality of the performance. Lots of retweets and YouTube views will certainly help. Semi-finalists will be announced in mid-October. The winner may have an opportunity to be featured on Mysterium’s next live album!

Brothers and sisters,

The Dropbox folder entitled "The Glory Collective - Shine [Live In Studio]" has now been shared with all of you! When you access the files, simply download them to your desktop and add them to your computer's music player. Please be careful NOT TO DELETE the files by dragging them out of the Dropbox folder. This well slow down the process for everyone. :-)

If you have any trouble accessing the files, please let me know. And remember, we're trying to keep this album under wraps until it officially releases in early October. Feel free to create some buzz on Facebook and Twitter, but let people know that we won't be releasing it in stores or on iTunes for several more weeks. Let the momentum build!

God bless you on this Labor Day, and happy listening!

Jimmy and the Mysterium Team

Brothers and sisters,

Greetings from Music City, USA! Good news. About 90% of the Kickstarter packages were mailed off today! If you still haven't given us your mailing address, send us an email at info@mysteriumonline.com. Also, if we accidentally messed up your package (forgot an item, something was damaged, etc.), do not hesitate to let us know! We will mail you whatever you need.

We're waiting on a few licensing agreements before we digitally release the album to all of you, but we should have everything in order by this weekend. God-willing, you will receive an email from Dropbox within the next few days asking you to join the shared folder, "The Glory Collective". Once you do so, you will be able to access ALL the digital tracks from the full-length debut, Shine [Live in Studio]! We can't wait to hear your feedback, so post your comments all over Facebook and Twitter (@mysteriumonline, #theglorycollective)!

And in case you didn't catch it, Kevin Heider, Maria Price, Shawn Williams, and I were all featured on EWTN last night. Check it out!

Much love, Jimmy
