Are we sure we understand the concept of “big things for Christ”?

I Don’t Care
Once upon a time, I found Jesus. More accurately, He found me. After spending a really long time not knowing how much I need Him, I finally saw myself for who I was, and I called out to Him in response to His call to me. That was almost seven years ago. I had no […]
Love And Fear: Campaign Update 2
We’re about to close the first half of our crowdfunding campaign! If you haven’t heard, I’m making a record with some amazing musicians and friends, and we’re raising money for gear. When you pre-order the record for just $10, you’ll get an instant download of one of the singles, “Find You In The Light.” We’re […]
Love And Fear: Campaign Update 1
Hey guys! Thanks to all of you so far who have supported our campaign to fund our new record “Love And Fear.” We had a pretty strong day out of the gate. I was surprised in the best of ways. While we still have just under 2 months left to go, we’ve already started seeing […]
The Irony of Sad Songs
For those of you who don’t know, I’m making a record in 2016. I’m really excited. I’ve spent the past two months recording some basic demos for 14+ songs while I wait for responses from potential session musicians and make plans for the crowdfunding campaign. Since my vocal coach got a hold of me in […]
Someone’s Blood, Everyone’s Hands
Refugees and terrorists. Three words in, and you’re probably already polarized. A lot of us are self-professed realists, but no realist is really a realist (and that sentence melted half my brain). We just apply our worldview to whatever “-ist” we are, and call it truth, whether or not it’s true. Man does what’s right […]
Accuser Within
I’ve always struggled with risks. I think everyone does, though maybe not as much as others. If I know that there is something to be lost, I don’t want to. Don’t we all? Whether we acknowledge it consciously or not, we realize that we contain infinite value as beings created by God in his image […]
Flipping Switches
I can still remember a time when I had no internet. Strange. It’s hard to imagine a world without the web. Our first computer was bought when I was five years of age. It ran one of the earliest versions of Windows. I can’t remember if we even had a mouse for it. I was […]
The Praise of Doubt
The story about Jesus calling Peter out to walk with Him on the water is commonly used to tell people to trust God. That’s kind of the point, right? But how quickly do we gloss over what’s really going on there? What Peter experienced made absolutely no sense by human standards. We are heavier than […]
Revisited: Identity Crisis
What sets you apart? What makes you an individual? What is the basis for your existence? These are all ways we tend to define “identity,” that thing that we hold so dear. It’s the most personal thing about us. We like to call it the sum of everything we are and the difference between us […]
