I had my breakthrough at 6 years old and received the Lord, Jesus Christ. I was so swept up in the spirit, I told my parents I had future plans to enter the priesthood.

I guess God has a sense of humor, when he had a man that wanted to start his life as a priest, end up marrying a preacher.

I had abandoned my plans for priesthood and replaced them with dreams of being a musician.

I continue to steward what God has given for me for such a time as this.

When I was 18, I went to a Baptist church with my girlfriend, and had a breakthrough when a pastor laid hands on me on an altar call. I wept that evening and realized how numb I had become with God and how He was calling to me for restoration. I received that blessing and went on to raising my three children in a Lutheran Church in the Bay Area as a member of Journey.

My father was a deeply spiritual, prophetic man, [who] I adored. I watched him pray as a boy and wanted to know the "Jesus" he shed tears for.

The different part of writing and singing worship lies in the identity and truth of God's Word and true intention for us as His followers on this Earth.
