This is life we've been given, made to be lived out, so... live out loud.

I am in a business that’s built on record sales and reputation and how your single is doing and where your song is on iTunes. But the kind of music that I do comes from my beliefs.

Everything we’re singing about is true, and even when you take away all the glitz, it’s still true in the darkest, ugliest and most hopeless places.

There’s obviously always danger in making music or art for art’s sake. Even as Christians we can be guilty of that, being more about the art than the Artist who gave us this gift.

I would hate to be a new artist or writer in town today. But somehow the cream continues to rise. If there’s one who’s great, he just jumps out of the pack like you can’t believe.

There’s nothing like a good cheating song to make me want to run home to be with my wife.

I’ve always been a rule-follower. Even when I was a kid, I tried to do everything by the book.

I’ve been here 21 years, and I literally did walk up and down Music Row trying to break into the business. I felt very free to go into any publishing company.

I think we all want to know that if our lives don’t turn out the way we imagine, there’s still a purpose.

Will You help me hear the song You’re singing over all this noise?
