God set this fire burning in me for the beauty of music and artistic expression some time ago. Eventually He would reveal to me a love that demanded response. I guess how I began responding just makes sense. I lead worship. But it’s more than what I do, it’s an undeniable part of who I am. I connect deeply with God through music, and my heart beats to help others realize that same connection. I’m passionate about the church becoming a driving force of creativity in the world.
What you’ll find in the broken sentences that follow are things that matter to me. A bit of the heart that beats in this lanky frame. Passions, if you will.
Worship. Authenticity. Jesus. That tingling down the back of my neck when an anthemic chorus is pouring out of a room with amps and flashing lights and straining voices and sweat and tears and hands and hearts flung wide to the very throne of God. The power of connecting music with music’s Creator. The power of music’s Creator connecting with us, setting emotions and feet dancing. Rocking people’s faces off. Laughter that makes my eyes squinty. My beautiful wife. My amazing baby girl. My rowdy dog. Changed lives. Art. Creativity. Redemption. The realization that all of life, not just music, can send that tingling down my spine when lived as an anthem to God. Leading others to that same realization. More worship. More authenticity. More Jesus.
