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

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.

If leading worship is just about bringing a group of people into a room so we can get goosebumps and sing songs together, there's not much value in that. But if leading worship is a means to an end, that we leave this place as a different kind of people, as part of a new humanity that God wants to create... then that matters.

To me, God is the basic Reality of the universe. God is what is. That's how Moses wrote that God introduced Himself, isn't it? "I am that I am." God is. Whatever is, that is God.

Art, along with all work is the ordering of creation toward the intention of the creator.
