Holy Saturday
My album “Earthly” was originally going to be titled “Holy Saturday”. Find out why, and why I changed the name.
Let’s Talk About Songs, Baby
My main takeaways from the songwriting workshop at Art House North I attended last month.
November: Songwriting Splendor
I wrote 28 songs last month! Here’s what I learned, what challenges I faced, and what I have to show for it.
Webs Spun By My Spider Friend
A behind the scenes look at my song, “We’re Gonna Be Alright”.
Earthly
What if following Christ is something that can happen here on earth, in the land of the living? What if it doesn’t require us to reject everything about ourselves that is merely mortal? What if spirituality isn’t something that only exists in the clouds, but also exists in the dirt? What if God hasn’t rejected our human weakness and frailty, but instead, says that we should lean into them in order to find him?
I Am Just A Person, With Limitations
I am trying to learn what it looks like to follow Jesus and still be a human-sized person.
A Principle I Find Bewildering
Holy crap that got real existential for a song that has such a peppy harmonica solo.
Arrogance or Hope?
“I Know Better” is not a statement of arrogance. It’s a statement of hope.
Grief: Two Years Later
My dad’s birthday was May 10th, and he died on May 16th, 2021. This is me processing; this is what grief looks like two years later.
Organic and Living
“It’s hard when relationships change, but it’s extra hard when it feels like the relationship is changing because you’re not being accepted for the ways that you’re growing; and that even sometimes those ways of growing are misunderstood and turned into something that feels like it’s being interpreted as wrong or bad.”
Weakness and Permission
People pleasing, codependency, and asking for other people to give you permission to feel how you feel.
Through the Looking Glass
Get a peek (through the looking glass) at the origins of my song, “You Won’t Ever Abandon Me”.
