There's nothing like a good cheating song to make me want to run home to be with my wife.

Success breeds volume, and it's just amazing how many young writers, artists, and musicians there are in town.

As Christians, our compassion is simply a response to the love that God has already shown us.

I want to live with that sense with the music I make, with the art I make, with the way I love my kids, with the way I am a father and a husband and a friend and a follower of Christ, I want to live with reckless abandonment to the truth of the Gospel.

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

I would hate to be a new artist or writer in town today. But somehow the cream continues to rise. If there's one who's great, he just jumps out of the pack like you can't believe.

Writing songs out of my faith was a real natural progression. I grew up singing in my dad's choir and singing with my family. Christian music became the music that I identified myself with and was a way that I expressed my faith. Even at a public school I would take my Christian music in and play it for my friends.
