Sometimes it can be really hard in our fast paced society to slow ourselves down enough to begin to listen to God's voice. The dilemma exists in my position as well. To be a follower of Christ is to emulate Him. When He went off alone into the desert to pray, He was teaching a valuable lesson.

Jon ForemanI think that to believe is to acknowledge that it's a choice in that present tense and that doubt is always an option. Youโre not dealing with a fact like one plus one equals twoโIโm gonna choose to believe that. Itโs kind of one of those things where you are choosing to believe that someone loves you. That is always going to be your choice. So for me, I think thatโs what makes the faith that I have volatile and explosive and dangerous and troubling. Thatโs what most of my songs are about.
