Being a creator of a song I get to take all these broken fragments of failure and chaos and weave together something beautiful and meaningful. Decay. Death. Pain. Fall. And if God is a songwriter then these fallen leaves of mine can be redeemed

Music is admitted under the skin without permission.

I love the idea that you can create a world through song.

Life tears at us and scars us as children so we adopt facades and masks to hide this part of us, to keep this sacred part of ourselves from the pain.

You want songs to sound cohesive with the other songs on the record but when you first start writing you just want to write to tell the truth.

Jesus Christ's mercy and power indwells us and gives us the strength to make a positive difference.

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.
