The life, when we're aware of beauty, is kind of a bittersweet thing, it's a transient reminder of eternal beauty, which someday we will be face to face with.

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

Pain is a common emotion in many of my songs mainly because I often don't know other ways to express it adequately. In my songs I wrestle with the things that I don't understand.

If we truly believe in an all-powerful God, then there's going to be beauty and truth to be found in all sorts of different places.

Faith, hope, and love remain. But the greatest of these is love.

I feel like that's something the church has done really badly is actually confessing. We are sinners. We are broken, shattered people that do things selfishly, out of arrogance, pride, lust, greed. And all have fallen short. That doesn't mean some we're definitely a part of that inclusive all.

Hope is not a substitute for pain. Hope is in spite of pain.
