Sometimes when God brings things into an individual's life, it makes them totally depend on Him.

That's all I want in life is to be remembered as a guy that really loved God.

Just the way my voice sounds now, it's always had this little hoarse thing to it. And I'd have to do vocal exercises to make my voice clear.

I write just knowing that I enjoy writing. But if I have to write, it seems like nothing comes. But when I go there for my own pleasure, the Lord might just give me loads of stuff all at once.

Faith came by just believing God's word and taking Him up on His word.

People think that because people do religious stuff, that's all we're supposed to do. But with God's help, everything that He wants me to accomplish, I'm going to do it. It's all about pacing.

Every single morning, I have a person sitting right there next to me in prayer with a tape recorder - and a song comes up every day.

There have been times when we've been playing, and people who were sick were totally healed.

I think that some people still think that the formula other than gospel still is not strong enough to get that crossover appeal to people enough that they would play it all the time, or nonchurch people would accept it, but I disagree.

I do go back and listen to my songs. I'm biting my fingernails the whole way through, but I do listen. I have a lot of songs I've wanted to re-record just because of how advanced technology is and the different instrument sounds that I'm more experienced with.
