As an Artist of Faith...   I believe God has called me to a number of  things. Being an advocate for Christian creatives. Being a Christ follower who composes, writes, speaks, performs, and produces. And being a spiritual pastor and guide to others along the journey of life. So my mission statement below is what you are supporting through your giving.

Mission Statement  Pastor, Advocate, Author, Songwriter, Performer, Speaker, and Mentor, to further the Kingdom of God through the arts.

Donate  I'm grateful and humbled that you would support me as I continue to serve God and the people of God, especially artists of faith. Your tax-deductible contributions—and your prayers—are much appreciated! To give, please scroll down to the bottom of this page.

"The balance of cultivating excellence, substance, spiritual discipline against a backdrop of liberty, humility, service and grace paints a meaningful and rich canvas of creativity and unfettered imagination. … Encouraging, challenging, inspiring, Imagine That is a gift to the artist in all of us.”  —Worship Leader Magazine	“This book is precisely the kind of help that gets pastors and parishioners worshiping honestly before a gracious God, for whom such worship is deeply pleasing.” —W. David O. Taylor, Fuller Theological Seminary	My fifth solo album, A Different Kind of Love Song, was released in 2022. Find it on Spotify, iTunes, or your favorite streaming service. From the Liner Notes: "There are a million love songs. And most of them get it wrong. There just aren’t many songs that speak to the deeper aspects of love—fidelity, faithfulness, grace. So this collection is about that different kind of love—that trusts, hopes, perseveres."
