It's always an honor and a scary experience to sing new music.

I was writing this music for the people that sit in the back pew of the church. People that do come, but it's not quite in their hearts.

It's always an honor and a scary experience to sing new music.

Gospel artists have to do something that secular artists don't always have to do and that's kind of abide by and reflect a certain set of values and morals. So everything that we do, every decision that we make, every picture that we take has a different weight on it. It's always interesting in balancing being an artist but being a minister as well.

We have plenty of pressures. We have the pressure to succeed to a certain level. You have peers that are doing so well, or some peers that are not doing so well and whether you like it or not you are constantly being compared to them. And of course you have the church pressures.

There's tons of external and internal pressures that we deal with but live for God and you'll be alright.

I pray that when people hear my music, they say at the very least 'man I'm glad that someone else feels that way too.'
