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

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

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

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.

Fire is a symbol for so much. It's a symbol for change. It's a symbol for destruction. Out of the ashes of that comes an opportunity to start over. It's one of the greatest metaphors in nature that you can possibly lean on, especially as a songwriter. You're trying to describe either something coming to a complete and utter end or something that is in flux, or something that's on the verge of becoming something else.

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?
