I grew up wanting to be a musician, but my parents were sure I would starve to death. So, they put me in physics and chemistry. That eventually blew up, and I got into radio.

I was 23 years old. It was a wild time. I was covering everything that blew up - blackouts, Studio 54, son of Sam killer, and all of that stuff.

A lot of people are willing to pray or to put in work, but they're not willing to take true risks.

To understand this Christmas record, you have to understand our ministry.

I call it the Etch A Sketch life. Every few years, you should shake that thing up.

Really, at a time when theyre debating when and where a nativity scene can be used, this is the kind of stuff we need to have out there - outside of the church.

Those worship songs on the Christmas project will air on PBS television. That's highly unusual.
