Also, a new video was made for the song "Splinter".

Skillet's self-titled album was the only album with more than one music video until Comatose, which had four. Ardent Worship had none.

"I Can" is a simple video, and shows the band playing on a stage along with various shots of the crowd worshipping God. The video was shot during an actual live show, as it adds an extra portion of the band playing and a part at the end of the song where John Cooper shares his testimony with the crowd.

"Gasoline" also shows the band playing on a stage, though it is unknown if this was during an actual show or simply a video shoot. It also features scenes of John crawling around in an outdoor scene, meant to be crying out for God.

The "Saturn" video features the band wandering around a large telescope and laboratory, as well as playing on a rooftop.
