Our world spins upside down and sometimes we have to lose our grip on the things we value in this life in order to grab on to true life.

The truth will set you free, but it's only slightly less scary than hell and a whole lot harder to get there.

Music is a handshake where I, as a songwriter, am only part of the equation. I love that, the fact that you can make the song your own.

It’s a good thing my parents named me Jon because that’s what everyone calls me.

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

Sometimes it can be really hard in our fast paced society to slow ourselves down enough to begin to listen to God's voice. The dilemma exists in my position as well. To be a follower of Christ is to emulate Him. When He went off alone into the desert to pray, He was teaching a valuable lesson.

I think surfing and music are both places of release and self expression where there are no rules, and you can find a different form of freedom that you can't anywhere else.
