In a 2002 interview with [[NPR]]'s [[Scott Simon]] on ''[[Weekend Edition|Weekend Edition Saturday]]'', responding to a question about the relatively subtle religious content of their music, Haseltine said that the band's songs are not meant to explain their faith but are written about their lives, which are affected by their faith. Haseltine explained the decision to "shy away from ... traditional religious language" as a conscious one, in part to make their music more accessible to those "put off by religion" and to "love people in a way that isn't exclusive to simply people that understand the language of Christianity".<ref name="NPR Interview">{{cite web|author=Dan Mitchell |url=https://www.npr.org/programs/wesat/features/2002/march/jars/ |title=NPR ''Weekend Edition Saturday'' interview |publisher=Npr.org |date=March 30, 2002 |access-date=December 31, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110213144830/http://www.npr.org/programs/wesat/features/2002/march/jars/ |archive-date=February 13, 2011 }}</ref> Haseltine also stated that art can "make people feel what's true rather than telling them".<ref name="NPR Interview" />
