I wrote the song Here because of my cell phone. Strange, I know. Here’s how it happened: I have a pretty casual morning routine. Making coffee, tidying up. These are rituals which prepare me to think, read scripture, pray and write. I sit down in my beloved chair, Bible and coffee within […]

“What Will You Spend Your Life On?” by Remedy Drive’s David Zach
I’ve been writing songs for 20 years now. I’ve spent most of my life putting one note in front of another note – trying to console an age old ache that echoes in the deepest chambers of my heart. These songs, at least at this point in my life, have […]
“Music as Privilege,” by Mark Nicks of Cool Hand Luke

“Confidence In Christ,” by Ayiesha Woods
“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ” Philippians 1:6 KJV This text breathes life into me. Particularly during such a crucial time in my life, career and ministry. I’ll admit there is […]
“Find You Here” by Ellie Holcomb
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again; Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all, the Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God, and the peace of God which surpasses all […]
