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

This is life weve been given, made to be lived out, so... live out loud.

I am in a business that's built on record sales and reputation and how your single is doing and where your song is on iTunes. But the kind of music that I do comes from my beliefs.

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.

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

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.

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