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

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.

Burnout is what happens when you try to avoid being human for too long.

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.

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

We are all creators. Whether or not we create is not up to us. We are human, and creating is what we do. Every interaction, movement, and decision is creativity at work. We are all artists. We all order creation around us into the world that we want to make.

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.
