I don't want everybody to try to sound like something; I think that God has given us each unique talents and passions. The things that come out of me will be different than my neighbor, because I have a totally different set of relationships, totally different set influences and personality traits.

I kind of grew up a guitar nerd and I tried to figure out how to shred on an acoustic guitar as a kid, while listening to jazz or whatever. So that is kind of a different thing and my church background, growing up with worship kind of the ground that I learned how to play music from. Those are all odd ways of growing up, compared to most people, so I think the music has plenty of uniqueness in that.

If anyone should have a reason to not be afraid, to move beyond the expectations of culture, that is kind of the whole message of Christianity.

Pain is as common as skin, we all experience it. It unites us all. Fortunately, that's not the whole story.

You don't have to be afraid, even death itself does not have power. In Christ, everything is becoming new, everything is different.

Money is not the root of all kinds of evil. The love of money is. It’s also the root of a lot of bad art.

I do think that Christians will make music that oh should have some of the grandest visions of why we should create music and why we should seek to create beauty world.
