I'm not one to call out an individual and say "I don't think that is honest." Who am I to know what is in their heart while they are singing it?

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.

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.

The danger of art created to rise above the noise is that it may end up being noise itself.

The whole idea of worship being associated with music, it gives you an impotence to make art that is true, that is honest and that opens the human heart to God and to reality.

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.

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.
