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 […]
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 […]
Election Day, Rallies, and the Death of Secret Ballots
I hate political yard signs. I despise political yard signs. On my way to work this morning, I passed at least ten signs, spaced no more than ten feet apart, for the same candidate, across from (and probably set up by) the same company. This would not be the only instance. No, every neighborhood I’ve driven […]
Being Ready
Preparedness is a difficult thing for me. I’m distractible, which leads to the disorganization of things that need to have been organized prior to a given moment. At the same time, because I don’t rigidly organize my world, I have much freedom to move with the current of life. That having been said, am I […]
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 […]
Repeat
They say you get better as you get older. Wiser, kinder… Really, you just get er-er, though. You become more of what your heart desires. It’s like that song that becomes stuck in your head. Even though they say you can get it out by singing it or listening to it, most times, it just […]
