It does feel like sometimes that I'm the outcast. Hip-hop doesn't want to mess with me because I'm Christian and Christian music doesn't want to mess with me because I'm hip-hop.

God opened my eyes to see Jesus for who He really was. After I trusted Christ, the Lord changed my entire perspective on everything. I started thinking about how I should relate to my parents and how I should approach school and even what it meant for the music I was writing.

Denying self isn't a one-time thing, but a daily task.

One day Jesus is going to come back and reign with perfect justice. There will be no questions about what's happened. There will be perfect justice and I look forward to that day.

There is no halfway or lackadaisical way to fight lust. If you're not fighting your sin, you're befriending your sin.

The question is not whether or not you will face trials. The question is, how will you respond when you do?

I might not win a Grammy or get another Stellar Award but I'll get my rewards from the Lord. There's nothing better than that.
