If we walk with the wise, we will grow wise.

I believe God weeps over - over death. Jesus wept at the grave the Lazarus. In the Bible, Jesus weeps at death.

In the gospel, we discover we are far worse off than we thought, and far more loved than we ever dreamed.

The stories that have had the deepest impact on me and one of the reasons I was excited to finally get to write my story, it's when I can read the story of others who are following Christ, who are committed, but just are still on the journey. They haven't arrived, and can be honest about that process.

God is God and I am not. I can only see a part of the picture He's painting.

Country music is just country. It's going to shift around a little bit, doing some different instrumentations, different production styles. But it will always come back to what you heard at the Opry. Nobody wants it to change.

I know a lot less about God, but the things I know about God, I know a whole lot more, for sure.
