Faith
To know me is to understand that I am a man captured by the Grace of God. My father modeled his faith to me in practical terms: DOING the Word without boasting it. He was an incredible man. He was my rock. My Father passed away several years ago, and I miss him very much. He was the greatest spiritual influence I have ever known or will ever know. And I'm not sure he even realized it. My first calling from God is not to be a singer, songwriter or producer, but rather to be Jacque's husband and a faithful father to Brooke and Evan. To go out and travel around the world and sing for people is a wonderful blessing; and I'm humbled to be able to do it, but folks, it's a perk. My MINISTRY, if I have one, is that of Dad and Husband. I'm not by any means perfect at it, but it's true none the less. Although I will always love singing to young people, I truly enjoy writing and performing to couples who have some kids and are staring a 30-year mortgage in the face. There's the REAL DANGER you skydivers! When you hear my songs, I want you to know that the man who is singing has been driven to his knees by many of the same overwhelming stresses and strains that you are experiencing. I want you to allow your heart to break for your wives, husbands and children. Most importantly, I want you to know that there is Hope. His name is Jesus. |
