There’s something about honest, raw, beautiful writing that opens your heart to truth. That’s why I’m thankful for Hunter Thompson and his newest EP with Bethel Music, Swan Song. This is one of the most beautiful collection of songs to be released this year. Honest, stripped back, pure. In this interview Hunter and I talk about […]

I don’t know about you, but I’m after the real thing in worship. It’s not enough to sing the songs, go through the motions, and feel good about how we executed our plans. We need God – His nearness, His Word, His voice, His sovereign move. That’s what I love about Housefires Music. I was […]

When it comes to pursuing Jesus, there’s only one way to come: with boldness.  We have been given access into His presence by a new and living way. So we come trembling in awe yet with the confidence of sons and daughters. That’s what I love about the ministry of Kim Walker Smith. She is […]

Sometimes you just have to be honest. You have to strip away the game and get real with God.

Have you ever wanted to sit down with a renowned musician/producer and pick their brain about what it takes to be a pro? Going pro is about making a decision and going to work. It’s not just going to happen for you. That’s what Gabriel Wilson and I talk about on this week’s podcast. Gabriel […]

The more we make worship ministry about us, the further we get from God’s heart. It’s about passion for Jesus and compassion for people. And this podcast is all about getting real. I had a conversation with Jimmy Thorpe, local church worship pastor and all-around great guy about the ins and outs of worship ministry. […]

We don’t really need more songs. We need God songs – songs that transport our wandering hearts and distracted minds to behold a greater reality. Without a doubt, that’s why I love the songs of Jon Egan and the Desperation Band. It was so fun to catch up with Jon and talk about Desperation Band, […]

It’s a powerful truth when you realize Christ is within you and Christ wants to extend His grace through you.
