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.

When I'm happy, when I'm enjoying life, I'm home, I'm surfing, I'm spending time with my wife, my friends and I'm not thinking about the pain.

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.

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

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.

If you can have a couple of tight friends that you can tell things to, that you can say, 'Hey, this is what I'm struggling with,' and then pray and talk about it, then that's an incredible thing.

If comparison is the thief of joy, then our culture is being robbed blind.

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.

Live rather than talk. Talk is cheap and the tabloids scream about it every day.
Jon Foreman
Image
Your story matters, who you are matters, tonight matters, none of it is an accident. You were born for the blue skies.

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