I've been stuck on John Eldredge lately. He's all about being a warrior outside of the church. I hate to think about this kind of stuff - I just like to do it.

Every three or four shows, we have somebody that will come up onstage and propose marriage.

I spent another six years in Europe covering sporting events such as the Tour de France.

The world is full of people who have dreams of playing at Carnegie Hall, of running a marathon, and of owning their own business. The difference between the people who make it across the finish line and everyone else is one simple thing: an action plan.

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