I feel like everyday someone asks me if I have plans to record a new album. Heaven Hear Us released in 2006. All of a sudden, it’s 2012. It’s a worthwhile question without an easy answer. Am I still a recording artist? How often do you have to make a record to still be one?:) [...]
FRIENDS! Happy New Year to you! I saw this post on Mike Breens blog today, and just had to repost it here because it’s just rad to see other worship leader writing about discipleship and the Kingdom story. This is a great post from a worship leader named David Walker. You can learn more about [...]
I’m so excited to be a small part of the new Austin Stone Live worship CD that releases today. The whole thing is so good, and I am so happy with their version of the song, You are Worthy. Below is an article written by Dave Barrett as he unpacks the song from a theological [...]

The thought is nothing new, and it was a helpful clarification as the modern worship movement swept through our churches with new songs, cd’s, the [...]
I woke up this morning in the midst of a dream – one of the most realistic and true dreams I can recall ever having. Waking from the dream, ironically enough, interrupted the sharing of dreams. I was in a room with stadium-style seating that was filled to the brim with Gathering Network leaders. One [...]
I have been so excited to give my first solo CD away this week. Not only has the response been overwhelming, but I’ve been reminded once again of the reason why this record was recorded. Seems like a very appropriate time to tell that story. Most of you that are keeping tabs on all that’s [...]
