One of the things I love about art, is that it can say number of things to people. I broad hope is that it would just open people's hearts and that they would experience love, and that that would experience God.

Not just in Christian music but also in a lot of Christian culture there is a lot of pretending that everyone is perfect, nobody is really going through much.

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.

Any religious, philosophical or political idea that doesn't lead one towards love ought to be forsaken

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.

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

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.
