Despite the Dark is Curt Sauer's debut album. This rock gospel project is rooted in rock-influenced melodies with rich, deep vocals. The story-based lyrics reflect spiritual inspiration gained through the daily struggle.

It is easy to be distracted by the immediate consequences of 'doing life', but in doing so, we can easily overlook the lessons that help us to grow, heal, and strengthen others through our example.

When we focus on the love offered to us, even when it is disguised as pain and discomfort, we can then celebrate all of God's blessings despite the dark.
