I began thinking about the idea of a 24 hour concert. What if you tied songs to certain hours of the day - creating a 24 hour world of lyric and melody. So that was the inspiration for this project.

It was a beautiful letdown, the day I knew, that all the riches this world had to offer me, will never do.

Don't be discouraged, but know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance brings character, and character brings hope, and this is a hope which will not disappoint us.

When I'm happy, when I'm enjoying life, I'm home, I'm surfing, I'm spending time with my wife, my friends and I'm not thinking about the pain. And then the moment I encounter something that feels difficult, I feel like that's when, for me, I turn to writing and thinking and maybe a song comes from that.

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

Nothing stays together without a fight.

I look for places where there's no one out on the water. I'd rather surf a wave to myself than fight a crowd.
