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

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

I always wanted to be a full-time musician. Every television job I had was a means to buy a grand piano, or to put in a recording studio, or something like that.

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.

I come from the performance world, but the idea of a worship song is different. It's useful music.

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.
