In May 2007, longtime Kutless guitarist Ryan Shrout decided to leave Kutless, after his daughter was diagnosed with a rare eye disease. Shrout chose to support his family during this time and left Kutless to do so. Nick DePartee, who had been a guitar tech for the band, took Shrout’s spot. This left Jon Micah Sumrall as the only remaining original member, although James Mead had joined before the first album.
