I'm always going to be a student. I'm always learning. I'm always trying to grow. I'm always trying to understand. I never want to feel like I've arrived.

I know for me as an artist, I think I do myself and my listeners a disservice, if I don't listen to some of the best music out there. If I was an architect or a carpenter, I'm going to want to study the best architects and carpenters and I'm going to appreciate their work, because they're going to inspire me to do well. And I just look at them as great architects and I just appreciate the gift that God gave them.

They ask me how Im doing. I say better than I deserve

I've always been a missionary and what people don't know is that I've always taken some strategic and eyebrow-raising steps.

You've got to admit you're broken before you can be made whole.

For me, Christianity is not a genre. It's faith. The Gospel is not a genre either. It's faith. I definitely understand the semantics of naming things to give them some kind of distinction but I think my faith is pretty distinct. If you want to call it hip hop, essentially it is. That's the art form.

God gave you your own race to run, stop comparing yourself to other people. They have their race and you have yours. Run hard and don't quit.
