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.

There’s nothing that you can sell me that can make me happy.

Anything worth doing in this world is incredibly difficult to do.

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.

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.

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

It’s a good thing my parents named me Jon because that’s what everyone calls me.

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.

We were meant to live for so much more.

What you do with your life is ascribing more to what you invest your time in. If you spend a lot of time on your phone, you're ascribing more worship to that. Anything can become, by that definition, some form of idol or deity or ultimate worth in your life.

Why is it that everything is collapsing if gravity is pulling us together?

My dying planet needs to see what the body of Christ looks like.
Jon Foreman
Image
That's what life is, a continual state of journey. You are a river passing downstream.
Jon Foreman
Image
Well, the funny thing is, you are never the same person that you were the day before.
Jon Foreman
Image
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.
Jon Foreman
Image
There is a deeper portion of our being that we rarely allow others to see. Call it a soul maybe, this is the place that holds the most value. All else can drift but this. When this dies our body has no meaning.
Jon Foreman

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
Image
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.
Jon Foreman
Image
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.
Jon Foreman

I think surfing and music are both places of release and self expression where there are no rules, and you can find a different form of freedom that you can't anywhere else.
