This is a lesson I continue to learn: Be content where you are!

When we are adding to those around us, the world, ourselves, it feels good and right on levels we cannot even consciously connect with.

When you have kids, I think it makes them feel safer and be in a space to grow more and recognize patterns when routines exist.

As an artist, I think it is important for us to mark places in history where we have made progress, to celebrate by expressing that reality.

It is fruitless to search for a single musical style, or even any blend of musical styles, that can assist all Christians with true worship. The followers of Jesus are a far too diverse group of people-which is exactly as it should be. We need, rather, to welcome any worship music that helps churches produce disciples of Jesus Christ.

We are all more similar than we usually realize. So much of the suffering we do in our life is because of obsession with self.

We need to welcome the experimental creativity that is always searching out new ways of singing the Gospel, and banish the fear that grips us when familiar music passes away.
