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

Surfing and music were incredible outlets for me when I was a kid. And there are some really tricky times when you're growing up and it's easy to make a wrong decision, even with a good family and community around you. Surfing and music kept me out of trouble.

My dying planet needs to see what the body of Christ looks like.

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

That's what life is, a continual state of journey. You are a river passing downstream.

I often use music as a handle for very emotionally explosive substances: love, sex, God, fear, doubt, politics, the economics of the soul - these are daunting thoughts in the back of my mind that I rarely visit without the safety gloves of song.

Your faith is what you do daily, you can't separate your heart from your body and keep them both alive, they're almost the same thing.
