You choose the album cover!
Thanks to my personal, professional photographer (i.e., my wife), we have a good number of photos for my upcoming worship CD, “The Start Of A New Life.” I’m not sure which one will work for the cover, so I’m opening it up to you to help me decide. Vote once, and post your reason why […]
Jeremy Camp’s “Overcome”
Originally written by the Desperation Band, Jeremy does a wonderful job on this song. The Holy Spirit (along with fellow worship leader TC at LIFEhouse) led me to this song to be played this week, as my Pastor was teaching on the subject of accolades and accomplishment, where we oftentimes forget to primarily give thanks […]
New worship song: Light of Life
Demo of a new worship song… tested it out at church last weekend, and I was happy to hear that it really helped someone in the congregation cope with a personal struggle. The song has been somewhat of a personal anthem during this Lenten season. The song is based on Psalms 55 and 56.
Still in the studio…
This is my record producer, drummer, friend, and all around good guy, Nick Karvon, trying to show guitarist Lance Fooks how to play a particular part. Pay no mind to the fact that Nick cannot play the guitar.
Re-recording “Lyrics of My Heart” (aka “Making a CD and doing it right”)

“Show Me” by Audrey Assad

Last month, I announced a video contest, where the winner would receive a $50 gift card for making a video of my “Shema Yisrael” song off my new worship record, Lyrics of My Heart. This was the winning entry: RahabTheJerichonite
“Grrrrr! Why does every Christian song seem to follow the same chord progression with different words?”
At Praise and Worship Forums, I read a post from a fellow Christian songwriter complaining about how it seems that many of the songs that he hears on Christian radio have a similar chord progression and feel (think: Hillsong). My response: One of the best lessons I have learned in my songwriting in the last […]
How God Speaks
I was in a recent church small group that asked the question: “how do you hear God?” I suggested that I have heard God in my subconscience and, also, while reading the Word… where Scripture would seem to be answering a life situation at the right time when I needed it. But, today, I experienced […]
