Elevation Worship's Chris Brown shared the meaning behind the album title and its theme,[9][10] saying: Many of our songs come from sermons that Pastor Steven preaches.

He was in that 2 Kings passage which details that after the prophet Elisha died, his story didn't end there.

When they saw a band of enemy raiders coming, they threw the man's body into Elisha's tomb.

As soon as the body touched Elisha’s bones, the man came to life and stood up on his feet (2 Kings 13:20-21).

Elisha still had a resurrection miracle left in his bones, and God is still in the business of bringing dead things back to life.
