I’ve never used music to sell my faith and I’ve never used faith to sell my music. I think they are both intrinsic parts of who I am.

Every day of your life, you change the world. Absolutely, yes, we're out to change the world. I mean, you change it whether you like it or not. You wake up and you talk to the grocer. You either kick your dog or you pet him. There's a million decisions you have every day where you change the world.

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

Maybe truth is not something that I can possess. Maybe truth is something which possesses me.

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.

I began thinking about the idea of a 24 hour concert. What if you tied songs to certain hours of the day - creating a 24 hour world of lyric and melody. So that was the inspiration for this project.

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

I love a good pop song. I have no problem with the concept of doing that sort of thing. For me, it's usually what I'm inspired by, what I'm thinking about.

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

I try to write songs just for the song itself. I don't try and think about where it's going to end up, that way you're writing for the good of the song.

When our world falls apart and we have no more faces to wear - that’s when it’s beautiful, and that’s when we change.

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.
