Making music is mostly spontaneously following sounds you find compelling that you chase and see where they're leading you.

I stopped reading music reviews because it's somebody having a knee-jerk reaction to a song. I realized that that's not the definitive interpretation. It won't last long. It's a fleeting thing. What matters are people's relationships with these things over time and sometimes songs just take a really long time to reveal their true identity.

Because as a father of three kids, I know how important good seeds are for providing healthy food for my family.

As you get older, your songwriting starts to become less and less about you, and especially when you have kids and a family. You start to see the world through other people's eyes a lot more to the point where it's hard to go back and relate to that "me against the world" perspective that I think a lot of my earlier songs were about. It's not so much about "me against the world," it's, how do you make the best possible future for your kids to grow up in?

When you're called by God, when He places that call upon your life, there is an authority you begin to walk in.

Some of us should learn to ask for bold things that require God.
