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.

Well, the funny thing is, you are never the same person that you were the day before.

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

Switchfoot is a surfing term… To switch your feet means to take a new stance facing the opposite direction. It's about change and movement, a different way of approaching life and music.

Live rather than talk. Talk is cheap and the tabloids scream about it every day.

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

You wake up, you wake up, another day, you wake up, you wake up, traffic still moving at the same speed, our eyes looking at the same speed, our minds thinking at the same speed, I wanna see movement, I wanna see change. I wanna wake up for real. I wanna wake up. I wanna wake up. We were meant to live.

That's what life is, a continual state of journey. You are a river passing downstream.

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.

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.

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

For me, the good songs are the ones that come really naturally. There are certain songs that you rework and rewrite and the craft becomes very evident, but a lot of times those aren't my favorite songs. The favorite songs are the ones that I can't even hear my own voice in.

I'm not really one to be on camera, I'd rather be writing songs.

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.

I usually write from my own experience, and that's definitely a true statement for me. I think having a song about desiring to live and wanting to get it right, which many of my songs do, often I have to clarify that I haven't figured it out yet.

Your story matters, who you are matters, tonight matters, none of it is an accident. You were born for the blue skies.

Paste just might be my favorite music magazine. They have shed light on many incredible, under-appreciated folks over the years, helping me find new tunes to accompany me through life. We were honored to give a song in return.

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, I want to create a environment for the songs to live in. So one song by itself only tells a piece of the story, but in the context of the album, more of the colors are revealed.

My dying planet needs to see what the body of Christ looks like.
