Our band doesn't really have a name.

Faith in God presents a fascinating conundrum. So many of us have faith, but when doubt and unbelief creep in, our faith is the first thing to be compromised.

After playing so many songs in churches for eight or nine years, I’ve learned what songs people react to. Then I just had fun with the arrangements. That’s how this album came together.

Those worship songs on the Christmas project will air on PBS television. That’s highly unusual.

If you want to write the next great novel, but you think, No, this won’t work because no one will buy it or it won’t be any good, then you talk yourself out of taking a risk.

Risk means everything from being honest about your faith, to moving, to quitting a job that’s paying you a fortune but it’s not what’s in your heart. Risking things is one of the biggest fears we have.

A lot of people are willing to pray or to put in work, but they’re not willing to take true risks.

I’ve been stuck on John Eldredge lately. He’s all about being a warrior outside of the church. I hate to think about this kind of stuff – I just like to do it.

I was 23 years old. It was a wild time. I was covering everything that blew up – blackouts, Studio 54, son of Sam killer, and all of that stuff.

Really, at a time when theyre debating when and where a nativity scene can be used, this is the kind of stuff we need to have out there – outside of the church.
