I doubted my creative spirit three years ago and God showed me a way to praise Him through song. It opened the door to a whole tapestry of images and concepts that were brand new for me and I continued on that path.

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

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.

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.

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.

Shyness is about the fear of social judgments - at a job interview or a party you might be excessively worried about what people think of you. Whereas an introvert might not feel any of those things at all, they simply have the preference to be in a quieter setting.

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