==Background and songwriting==
Casting Crowns' lead vocalist Mark Hall has stated that the band's songs "have always come from our ministry in the church. They start as messages on Wednesday night, things we're teaching our teenagers and their families";〔〔 ''Until the Whole World Hears'' retains that same formula.〔 Hall also stated that the musical sound of their songs is written so as not to conflict or detract from the lyrics, comparing the musical elements of his songs to a plate that the 'meat', the lyrics, are served on.〔 A philosophy that "fuels"〔 the album is the idea of putting "faith in action";〔 Hall stated that he wanted believers to become more active in their faith, and to "get out of their pews and get involved in what God is doing".〔 "Always Enough" was written when a member of Hall's church was killed in Afghanistan; the band was unable to attend his funeral, as they were on the other side of the United States and couldn't cancel their tour dates.〔 Another song on the album, the title track, was inspired by the Biblical character of John the Baptist.〔 Several songs on the album are reinventions of hymns, which Hall enjoyed experimenting with; Hall retained the lyrics of the songs while reworking their melodies.〔
