Inside all of us, we know the truth of life that there's something more than the next new cell phone or gadget or relationship and that our heart beats in time with the sunset.

Happiness is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

You want songs to sound cohesive with the other songs on the record but when you first start writing you just want to write to tell the truth.

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. We’ve always tried to define our music outside of genres…what is a genre? A genre’s a cage or a box and for us our music is best with fangs and some claws running free in the wild.

Being a creator of a song I get to take all these broken fragments of failure and chaos and weave together something beautiful and meaningful. Decay. Death. Pain. Fall. And if God is a songwriter then these fallen leaves of mine can be redeemed

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.

I love the idea that you can create a world through song.

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.

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

I am often tempted to think of success in terms that are defined by others: records sold, popularity gained, album reviews, etc. These are impossible demands, however, and they can never be satisfied. Letting finite others define our worth is a horrible way to live. Only the Infinite Other [God] has the authority to do this.

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.

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.

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

Calling has this weight that somehow we think that your calling is fixed. That your calling is this line that you’ve finally found and now you're on that track and that’s what you’re gonna do forever and maybe that's the case. But I feel like calling has much more to to do with the moment that you’re in.

Life is a battlefield. I don't have enough time on the planet to play games.

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.

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

Most of the time a spark of beauty or truth will start a fire of a song but fires rarely produce goodness on their own ... you need to control them and put them to work.

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

If you truly love someone, you're going to be pure because true love comes from God, and God tells us to remain pure. That's good enough for me.
