Risk means everything from being honest about your faith, to moving, to quitting a job that's paying you a fortune but it's not what's in your heart. Risking things is one of the biggest fears we have.

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.

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

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

The real advantage for me is that I have the opportunity to lead worship every Sunday.

After playing so many songs in churches for eight or nine years, I've learned what songs people react to. Then I just had fun with the arrangements. That's how this album came together.

A great moment of clarity when I realized I'm dying. There's no reason to wait to do the things we want to do.
