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

I believe very confidently in the truth of Scripture, where it says that there is no authority, no power given to man except as given by God.

Wherever we are, God's in that moment, God's speaking to us, and if we've just got our ears open and our antennas up, there's no lack of inspiration. He's not silent. We just have to be listening.

When I go to Africa and spend more time there with people who are the least of the least, those in desperate situations, I am broken by it. But I also find people with so much more joy and freedom living with nothing than I see walking down the streets of my own community here in Tennessee.

I've always been a rule-follower. Even when I was a kid, I tried to do everything by the book.

I did nothing to deserve God's love; in fact, I was living as an orphan, without hope. Yet God chose to pursue a relationship with me, and through the death of his son Jesus, I was adopted into God's family.

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