Saw you play tonight at the Abbey in Santa Cruz. Put lot's of thoughts in motion. Thank you.
You see things that others do not see. You are prophetic - in a positive, uplifting way - like you are rooting for humanity to figure it out. I love that.
You're music has helped me more than you could know in the past few years. I met you tonight and wanted to tell you more of my story, but it's so hard at a concert (too many people, nerves, etc.) But I resonated with what you said about having friends who are getting divorced and falling away from the faith. My wife and I have had close friends who have walked away from each other, and it's heart breaking. And faith, for my wife and I, is something we are in the midst of redefining - not walking away, but trying to figure out. Your music is a beacon of hope in a deep frustration with the church and Christians.
Best of luck in all you do. Keep preaching the truth, brother. Even when it feels like no one is listening, there are a few who truly are.
Congratulations for your work, it's beautiful! I've discovered you and you're music little time ago and I'm so happy for this. The lyrics are just great, you know... you have a great gift, you're voice is fantastic... Keep doing the good work, keep being the salt!
I pray that one day in my country (Brazil) we'll have people composing and singing in the same density as you do.
Just discovered your music from my churches Youtube Channel -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc4Nr2GC_JE *and* http://cornerstone-sf.org/tv/music. Your music is magnificent the honesty comes shining through. I hear scriptures truths set to: Scottish Highlander rhythms, Japanese war drums, techno, folk and the encouragement of Yeshua's laws. My son is interested in music study so when heard this song he cried. He rarely cries and is 17. I reminded him the greatest music is honest, universal, and will make you feel -- whether joy, tears, hope, courage. Thank you!
I wanted to write to you and thank you for sharing your music. For being honest, vulnerable, and real.
I have experienced "broken love" due to the decision my father made to take his own life when I was a child. I have been dealing with and accepting how this affected me after years of suspended grief.
Jesus is my savior. He is love. Your music speaks of that love so beautifully and clearly...it brings me to a place of worship and peace.
Keep doing what you're doing. This generation is in desperate need of love...the kind that comes from Him.
Thanks so much for sharing. We, too, have marriages cracking and crumbling around us. And it's got a lot stirred up within. i appreciate these glimpses behind the music as they help me connect/identify even more. It certainly encourages us to know that clear across the country is another family fighting for love and looking to Jesus.
