More quotes by Michael Gungor
To me music is music. A person of faith, a person that calls themselves a Christian, they are the Christian and they make music. Some music has more to do about God than other music, but in reality what makes the difference between secular and Christian music is simply a marketing channel.
Michael Gungor
Money is not the root of all kinds of evil. The love of money is. It’s also the root of a lot of bad art.
Michael Gungor
I don't want everybody to try to sound like something I think that God has given us each unique talents and passions. The things that come out of me will be different than my neighbor, because I have a totally different set of relationships, totally different set influences and personality traits.
Michael Gungor
The noise around us determines how we speak. And how we listen. Just as a conversation suffers in a war zone, art suffers in a culture built on noise. So does our enjoyment of it.
Michael Gungor
I'm not one to call out an individual and say I don't think that is honest. Who am I to know what is in their heart while they are singing it?
Michael Gungor
If leading worship is just about bringing a group of people into a room so we can get goosebumps and sing songs together, there's not much value in that. But if leading worship is a means to an end, that we leave this place as a different kind of people, as part of a new humanity that God wants to create... then that matters.
Michael Gungor
Pain is as common as skin, we all experience it. It unites us all. Fortunately, that's not the whole story.
Michael Gungor
Any religious, philosophical or political idea that doesn't lead one towards love ought to be forsaken
Michael Gungor
To me, God is the basic Reality of the universe. God is what is. That's how Moses wrote that God introduced Himself, isn't it? I am that I am. God is. Whatever is, that is God.
Michael Gungor
To me genres were always an imaginary things, they're just marketing channels.
Michael Gungor
Creativity is simply the human brain forming new connections between ideas, and we all are engaged in this process every day. The common idea that there are some people who are creative and some who are not is a myth. On some level, we are all artists. We are all creators.
Michael Gungor
The person who creates from the noise simply adds to the noise. The person who creates from a place of listening, however, can actually make something worthwhile and enjoy his work in the process.
Michael Gungor
When I think of Spirit, I think of that mysterious force that pulls us into being, into becoming, into love. That can get political rather quickly.
Michael Gungor
I do think that Christians will make music that oh should have some of the grandest visions of why we should create music and why we should seek to create beauty world.
Michael Gungor
One of the things I love about art, is that it can say number of things to people. I broad hope is that it would just open people's hearts and that they would experience love, and that that would experience God.
Michael Gungor
Faith comes from listening to the right stories.
Michael Gungor
We are all creators. Whether or not we create is not up to us. We are human, and creating is what we do. Every interaction, movement, and decision is creativity at work. We are all artists. We all order creation around us into the world that we want to make.
Michael Gungor
You make beautiful things, You make beautiful things out of the dust
Michael Gungor
I've found that limitations can be an artist's best friend sometimes.
Michael Gungor
I think I'm just trying to be myself and write songs that are honest. That's what I hear in artist's that I like.
