Spend your energy on things you believe in, and do them honestly and to the best of your ability.

Art, along with all work is the ordering of creation toward the intention of the creator.

If leading worship is just about bringing a group of people into a room so we can get goosebumps and sing songs together, there's not much value in that. But if leading worship is a means to an end, that we leave this place as a different kind of people, as part of a new humanity that God wants to create... then that matters.

The more successful the work, the more people will step in to try to influence and manipulate the work for their own benefit.

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.

Creativity is simply the human brain forming new connections between ideas, and we all are engaged in this process every day. The common idea that there are some people who are creative and some who are not is a myth. On some level, we are all artists. We are all creators.

The noise around us determines how we speak. And how we listen. Just as a conversation suffers in a war zone, art suffers in a culture built on noise. So does our enjoyment of it.
