I wanna be a part of the generation that throws out money, throws out time, throws out all that we are against something bigger than ourselves.

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.

The beauty of what I read in the gospel is the intimacy of what we're called to, that there's no middle man.

Hope is not something you can just place in your back pocket or put your fingers around – it’s the belief in a world that has yet to exist.

If you can have a couple of tight friends that you can tell things to, that you can say, 'Hey, this is what I'm struggling with,' and then pray and talk about it, then that's an incredible thing.

Darkness cannot cast out darkness. You need a light for that. Fear cannot cast out fear. You're gonna need hope for that death warrants more death. But I believe life wants more life and I'm convinced that the greatest weapon we've got is LOVE! And maybe, in a world full of fighters, in a world imploding with hate, maybe to be a lover, you gotta be a fighter. Maybe that's the biggest fight, the only fight worth fighting, the fight you're gonna be in for the rest of your life.

I think that's the beauty of live music - creating from the destruction.
