4. Layton has this to say about the title cut and soon to be released single "How Far." "The whole album is summed up in the message of the title track, 'How Far,'" Layton shares. "It's about how God continues to reach out and pursue us even when we run from Him. It was God's love for us that propelled Him to give His life on the cross. Arms stretched open wide-that's how far He will go." 
 
5. "I didn't shy away from any hard emotions with these songs, and I really tried to lean in and hear what God had to say about each of them," Layton says of How Far. "My hope is that listeners feel a sense of freedom in this album, understanding that God meets us even in the darkest of hours. The album speaks to God's intimate involvement in our lives, from the mundane to the biggest moments, throughout each and every season. God is in all of those things with us. He cares; He's kind; and He's working all things out for our good." 

6. The new album will feature her the #1 single "Look What You've Done." The song reached the pinnacle of Billboard's Christian Airplay chart and earned her recognition as one of the publication's Top 5 female Christian artists of the year.
