=== ''For the Love of the Game'' (2007–2009) ===
Pillar has played at both [[Cornerstone Festival]] and [[Creation Festival]]. It was revealed at [[Soulfest]] 2007 that the name of their next album would be ''[[For the Love of the Game (album)|For the Love of the Game]]'', which was eventually released on February 26, 2008. They brought back the Pillar logo from "Where Do We Go from Here" and "Fireproof" for it. [[ESPN]] used the new Pillar song, "For the Love of the Game," during montages highlighting the [[2007 World Series]] on its program ''[[Baseball Tonight (MLB)|Baseball Tonight]]''. ''For the Love of the Game'' is the last Pillar record produced by Travis Wyrick.

Pillar helped Eowyn record her album ''Silent Screams'', with Beckley contributing vocals to the title track and Henson and Estelle also playing on the album. Pillar toured on the [[SHOUTfest]] tour with [[After Edmund]] and various other artists from September to November 2007. They also had a tour for ''For the Love of the Game'' from February to April 2008, with Brooke Barrettsmith, Wavorly, and Building 429.

In the fall of 2008, Pillar embarked on the ''For the Love of the Fan Tour'', which enabled the fans to decide their own ticket price for the show. The tour lasted for three weeks and ended on September 26, 2008 in Dallas, Texas. Lester announced the ''For the Love of the Fan Tour'' would be his last tour with Pillar. Kalel was not seen playing bass for Pillar, but was being filled in forby Josh Gleave (formerly with Jeremy Riddle). Later, Kalel announced on his Myspace page his decision for leaving Pillar was due to Lester's departure from the band, and because Kalel was involved with helping independent bands such as [[One Minute Halo]] and [[Stars Go Dim]]. Making singer Rob Beckley the only original member of Pillar. Kalel also stated that he wanted to be at home with his wife and two children and not be on the road all the time.

Kalel's bass part was filled in for a short time by Josh Gleave. Richard Gilliland met Pillar while preparing for the Creation Festival tour (at the time he was playing for KJ-52); he then joined Pillar as bass player and subsequently stopped playing for KJ. Gilliland's first show with Pillar was at Creation Festival. Pillar attempted to replace Lester several times. James Holloway was hired to play drums for the Creation tour. Chase Lovelace then joined the band; however, for unknown reasons, Lovelace left the band after only being a member for a couple months.
