Calling has this weight that somehow we think that your calling is fixed. That your calling is this line that you’ve finally found and now you're on that track and that’s what you’re gonna do forever and maybe that's the case. But I feel like calling has much more to to do with the moment that you’re in.

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.

When our world falls apart and we have no more faces to wear - that’s when it’s beautiful, and that’s when we change.

As far as when I'm writing a song, I think I'm writing first and foremost for myself.

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

From the shore, the ocean is forever. It's a beautiful, dangerous place. Music is tied to the sea, born from the struggle, looking for hope. Because hope belongs in the dark places.

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.
