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

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.

Every day of your life, you change the world. Absolutely, yes, we're out to change the world. I mean, you change it whether you like it or not. You wake up and you talk to the grocer. You either kick your dog or you pet him. There's a million decisions you have every day where you change the world.

Sometimes, the best songs are the ones you write without any pen and paper or audio recording device or guitar in your hands. Because there's nothing between you and the melody; it's just a great lyric.

I think surfing and music are both places of release and self expression where there are no rules, and you can find a different form of freedom that you can't anywhere else.

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

Information has become king, whereas wisdom should be king and there is a big difference between the two.
