As worship leaders we might use music as a tool, but music is only ever just that - a tool with which to encourage lives to be renewed and awakened to God.

One have our biggest challenges if making sure that we are staying true to the mission that we feel called to do, which is writing songs for the church and helping the church connect with God. While the global ministry grows and the influence has been blessed in an amazing way, we are really conscious about staying focused on the families that come into our church every weekend and making sure that we're meeting their needs for whatever season they're in.

There are definitely some songs you sing and you just know there's something about it - there's kind of a touch on it that's different. But there are no rules to that. Every time, it's a surprise and it's humbling to hear that people are singing the songs in different places and different parts of the world. We're always amazed by that.

I'm a huge fan of Jesus Culture. I absolutely love them. I listen to them a lot. My wife loves them as well. I'm unashamedly a Jesus Culture fan. I love the spontaneity. They'll play a song and it will go for like 25 minutes. That kind of worship, and how they lead people into the presence of God, is just awesome.

When you have a heart to serve and help others it unlocks something in you

Worship is the grand theme of the Bible.

Worship is about God relationship. I need to remember to keep it that simple.
