Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love another.

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.

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

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.

If we spend our time obsessing with the future or regretting the past, then we will never live. Tomorrow will always be tomorrow and yesterday cannot be changed.

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.

I'm always thinking about songs, I'm thinking of life maybe a little bit more lyrically than a computer programmer or someone like that.

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.

I use to think that the friction was a bad thing. Everything is to ease pain in our society pain is very much the enemy. And I don't think that's true. Tension is a good thing. To be pulled tight: that's the only way you can make a proper noise on the guitar or violin.

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

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

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.

I wanna be a part of the generation that throws out money, throws out time, throws out all that we are against something bigger than ourselves.

Image
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.

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

The easiest thing to do is throw a rock. It's a lot harder to create a stained glass window. I used to get upset at the people who threw rocks but now I'd rather spend my time building the stained glass windows.

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

I think despair and cynicism are two different things. On the flip side of hope is despair. Belief and doubt are the same thing, in that to believe something you have to actively doubt the opposite. And from my perspective, that's the deep end. You're dealing with the unknown you're dealing with mystery.
