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.

Just as drowning cannot be equated with swimming, mere existence is not the same as abundant life. We have been offered a new way to live – a new way to be human.

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.

I usually write from my own experience, and that's definitely a true statement for me. I think having a song about desiring to live and wanting to get it right, which many of my songs do, often I have to clarify that I haven't figured it out yet.

I've always been fascinated with the strong emotional ties that music can have. A song can bring you back to a place or a season of life like no other art form can.

I try to write songs just for the song itself. I don't try and think about where it's going to end up, that way you're writing for the good of the song.

There is a deeper portion of our being that we rarely allow others to see. Call it a soul maybe, this is the place that holds the most value. All else can drift but this. When this dies our body has no meaning.
