What I would really love for my listeners
to take away from my music is hope,
even in the midst of struggle,
because we’re searching for happiness and we all want to be happy and joyful.
(♪ soft guitar music ♪)
We can get lost in that a little bit and when struggles come,
we don’t always know how to handle that.
(♪ soft guitar music ♪)
But, I want my listeners to be uplifted and know that there is hope,
and not just in a fluffy kind of way but...
Jesus suffered too and he’s gonna enter into your suffering
and he’s right there with you.
He understands.
He’s gonna cry alongside you if that’s what it takes.
But, he’s also going to take those very circumstances and lead you to greater glory through that.
