Hey friends. We’ve got a fun little Q&A thing that we wanted to start on here over the next week or two and want you to get involved. It’s pretty simple. You ask the ‘Q’ and I will select a generous handful of them and give you the ‘A’. And not only will I give you the ‘A’ but I will give you the ‘A’ in the form of a sweet video blog. How’s that sound?
So let’s ask away and by June 4th I will select several questions and start the answering process. These can be questions about the new record, the old records, songwriting, life, worship, favorite breakfast items or whatever you think of.
I’m looking forward to hearing what you want to know. Talk to you soon.
Hey all,
The record is coming along nicely, and things seem to be falling into all the right places. About a month back I was going through the list of songs that will be on the album, and I felt like the ending one hadn’t been written yet. I wanted a sweet and simple song that would act as a period at the end of a sentence of songs that largely focus on eternity. So I wrote this one. It’s called Heaven Song.

I was just sent a few photos from the recent shoot I did with long time friend and photographer Christian Rios, a man with an eye for the artistic. This shoot was for the new record, which is currently being set up for a September 1st release. Though there is no official title for the album yet, reoccurring themes of Heaven and the subsequent longings that the human heart has for the place have bubbled to the surface (there is a song called “Heaven and Earth” that has some title potential), so we wanted the images to move away from the previous moody, organic feel of past installments and move towards white, clean, brightness.
Here’s one:
Here it is with some special sauce.
We have some post-shoot ideas to bring some otherworldly quality to the shots, but you can’t see those yet.
Heaven And Earth has a nice ring to it though… what do you think?
