I look around and I know there's a lot in the world that I want to see changed - and I want to be a part of something bigger than myself. I want to see things change, in myself as much as in the world around me.

My challenge is, do not run away from the hard questions. Truly ask yourself what's worth living for in this life.

From the shore, the ocean is forever. It's a beautiful, dangerous place. Music is tied to the sea, born from the struggle, looking for hope. Because hope belongs in the dark places.

Life is a battlefield. I don't have enough time on the planet to play games.

Music is what I do; Christ is why I do it.

Most of the time a spark of beauty or truth will start a fire of a song but fires rarely produce goodness on their own ... you need to control them and put them to work.

Well, the funny thing is, you are never the same person that you were the day before.
