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.

Art matters. It is not simply a leisure activity for the privileged or a hobby for the eccentric. It is a practical good for the world. The work of the artist is an expression of hope - it is homage to the value of human life, and it is vital to society. Art is a sacred expression of human creativity that shares the same ontological ground as all human work. Art, along with all work is the ordering of creation toward the intention of the creator.

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

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.

It's hard to make a living in music, so a lot of times in the arts it's safer to kind of fit into a box.

You make beautiful things, You make beautiful things out of the dust

Faith comes from listening to the right stories.
