When I write songs, I try to write in a way to reach as many people as I can, to be a lighthouse versus a flashlight.

You lead me and keep me from falling. You carry me close to Your heart. And surely Your goodness and mercy will follow me.

Music connects with the soul. I think it's the quickest art form to the soul.

Could someone look at your life or look at my life and name me a Christian? A humbling thought for sure.

The worship leader God is after is the one whose heart is captured by Him.

Remember: In the end, you're not living to impress your friends or your relatives or your coworkers. All of life is for Jesus.

Jesus Messiah, name above all names, blessed Redeemer, Emmanuel, the rescue for sinners, the ransom from Heaven, Jesus Messiah, Lord of all.

Worship: Where God isn't moved by the quality of our voice but by the condition of our hearts.

I lift my hands to believe again. You are my refuge. You are my strength. As I pour out my heart, these things I remember, You are faithful, God, forever.

Worship comes from a thankful heart.

I remember being in church. We would do the live nativity in my little town and I remember pulling the sheep. I was the shepherd, so I was pulling the sheep around town, down Main Street. I thought that was the most awesome, coolest thing ever.

I am Loved by the King, and it makes my heart want to sing!

Our God is Greater, Our God is Stronger, God, you are Higher than any other, Our God is Healer, Awesome in Power, Our God,Our God.

My dad taught me to play the guitar. We grew up with country music. We had every Willie Nelson record (laughs). I was saved at a young age and had a great desire to follow God. I was really focused on that through my whole life, even as a kid and through high school.
