I've found that limitations can be an artist's best friend sometimes.

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.

To me music is music. A person of faith, a person that calls themselves a Christian, they are the Christian and they make music. Some music has more to do about God than other music, but in reality what makes the difference between "secular" and "Christian" music is simply a marketing channel.

The person who creates from the noise simply adds to the noise. The person who creates from a place of listening, however, can actually make something worthwhile and enjoy his work in the process.

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.

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

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