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.

I enjoy being on stage with other artists. I have a chance to watch and see people responding to the other artists songs. I get to see how people are affected by the music.

That's one wonderful thing about country music - it shifts, ebbs, and flows stylistically, unlike pop music.

There is no greater love than this. There is no greater gift that can ever be given. To be willing to die, so another might live -- there is no greater lover than this.

There’s a day that is coming when all the last will be first and every orphan will be home.

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

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