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.

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.

Sometimes the things that hurt are worth the pain.

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

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

I love a good pop song. I have no problem with the concept of doing that sort of thing. For me, it's usually what I'm inspired by, what I'm thinking about.

I think that to believe is to acknowledge that it's a choice in that present tense and that doubt is always an option. You’re not dealing with a fact like one plus one equals two—I’m gonna choose to believe that. It’s kind of one of those things where you are choosing to believe that someone loves you. That is always going to be your choice. So for me, I think that’s what makes the faith that I have volatile and explosive and dangerous and troubling. That’s what most of my songs are about.
