Notable Guest Quotes

“I love co-writing.  I really think it brings out the best potential in a song.  You never know what could be there ‘til you ask someone else, ‘What would you do with this?  I trust your opinion and I really respect you, so what would you do here how?  Would you change this or what direction would you go?’”
 
“There is a verse that says ‘To obey is better than to sacrifice,’ and what God really wants is us to obey him.”

“No matter the most impressive person in the entire world still comes to Jesus with nothing.  All of us do.  We just come to Him barren and needy and impoverished and He gives us every spiritual blessing.  It says in His Word, ‘He crowns us with righteousness and love and He gives us mercy and grace and hope everyday.’  It’s amazing what we get with Jesus.”

“I think that's what Satan wants to do.  He wants to create fear in us and keep us from creating for God's glory and so he creates this fear that, ‘You're the worst and nobody else is going to like this idea, so don't throw it out there.’”

“Maybe that's not the best idea but maybe by throwing it out there it will lead to something that is great and that could only have come through that discussion of, ‘Is that the best?  I don't know about this.’  And it just grows from there.  That's been some of my favorite songs.”

“I think the natural steps for any artist as their career grows in the next season… for going from an opener to a headliner is that radio is a huge part of that.  It’s not an absolute necessity but it is really important and special to me because I grow up listening to Christian radio and it had a huge impact on my life.”
