I feel like every day 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? [...]

We are doing a series on the book of Acts at the GN right now. It’s been pretty rockin. I’ve recognized one distinguishing characteristic of the early followers of Jesus – they were incredibly tenacious. By that, I mean they clearly had a message, and they weren’t afraid to bring it. Their witness was so [...]

We wrapped up the Sentralized conference this weekend. What an amazing time. God is certainly doing amazing things. So many people left with their hearts burdened for the world. Such evidence that God was at work. His heart is burdened the same way. I had a chance to gather the worship leaders for a brief [...]

Communicating vision to our worship teams is really important. Here is a recent thought that I emailed to our team. We’ve been in a season of downgrading the importance of the Celebration Service in an effort to stem the “consumerism” default we always wrestle with. The point there is to not consume our way to [...]

This conversation has been the fruit of all the stuff that has become somewhat of a “game changer” for me over the years. For a while, I’d been seeing how my gifts both encouraged the body of Christ to experience a relationship with Jesus, as well, at times I could see how certain ways that [...]

Adventure. This word keeps me up at night. If there is one thing that I want for my life, it would be something like one coin with two sides – significance and adventure. Jesus gives me both. As we’ve discussed, I don’t need to go one step further to search for significance – I just need [...]

Last week, the post was simply about two things—a young generation’s ache for significance, and their desire for adventure. I’ve been working with people in their 20’s and 30’s for over a decade now, and there is one thing that is absolutely clear to me about them—they want to live an extraordinary life. Nothing less [...]

This is such an interesting conversation we are in. I’ve been surprised at how much I’ve been thinking about it since I posted it last week, and I have really appreciated the comments. My last post was about young songwriters and worship leaders approaching me with the question, “How can I do what you do?” [...]

Over the years I’ve had so many young artists approach me and ask some version of, “How can I get started doing what you do?” It was a nightly experience after a Nickel and Dime concert. There would usually be a line of people to talk to and get to know. Somewhere in there would [...]
