Information has become king, whereas wisdom should be king and there is a big difference between the two.

I've got a variety of different sources of news that I follow and every day there's going to be different headlines, different stories spun different ways and different sources that they're going to cite as their facts.

It was a beautiful letdown, the day I knew, that all the riches this world had to offer me, will never do.

Sometimes it can be really hard in our fast paced society to slow ourselves down enough to begin to listen to God's voice. The dilemma exists in my position as well. To be a follower of Christ is to emulate Him. When He went off alone into the desert to pray, He was teaching a valuable lesson.

Hope is not something you can just place in your back pocket or put your fingers around – it’s the belief in a world that has yet to exist.

What do we really want to say to the world? Three main themes. The inability to find completion in our modern society, the inability to find completion within ourselves, and the new way to be human in what Christ offers us - His love and His perfect plan of redemption for us.

I look for places where there's no one out on the water. I'd rather surf a wave to myself than fight a crowd.

As far as when I'm writing a song, I think I'm writing first and foremost for myself.

Let me know that you hear me, let me know Your touch, let me know that You love me, and let that be enough

Music is a handshake where I, as a songwriter, am only part of the equation. I love that, the fact that you can make the song your own.
Jon Foreman

For me songs are born out of the gray space, the things I don't fully understand, the things that I can't put in my pocket.

Hope is not a substitute for pain. Hope is in spite of pain.
