Thanks to all my Spotify listeners this year! It's exciting to reach 24.6k new listeners this year!

This is the Advent hymn we did yesterday at Church, it's one of the oldest hymns still sung. It was originally used in 4th century Christian churches in Jerusalem and Antioch. It speaks of the mystery of the incarnation of the Son of God, and calls us to humility & reverence before Him.

Had a great time leading worship with these great people this weekend at the Devoted Conference!

Hit 7k monthly Spotify listeners for the first time today! Thank you all out there!

A number of years ago, my pastor Shane Koehler and I sat down and made a good list of theological/biblical subjects that not many familiar songs/hymns addressed. I was further encouraged a few years ago by a talk by Stuart Townend that church music writing needed to expand its range of topics. We found a lot of songs/hymns that address the gospel, salvation, creation, hope in Jesus, etc., but very few that addressed the 2nd coming, progressive sanctification, confession of sin, heaven, opposition from the world, etc. I've been working slowly through that list, and some of the new songs I'm working on right now continue that effort!

Adding a little Hammond B-3 to the mix today! It’s always been a favorite sound of mine, nice to have the real deal to use!

Another milestone today, first time to 6k listeners in a month! Still really surprised! Also new music is in the works.

Wow, exciting things happening! Never expected to get to 5,000 montly Spotify listeners! :) Thankful to everyone listening out there.

First song hit 20k plays today on Spotify! Thanks for listening… new songs are in the works!

Just posted: New lyric video for "Of the Father's Love Begotten." The lyrics of this hymn date back to the 5th century, making it one of the oldest hymns still in use. It's become one of my favorite Advent hymns because of how strongly it proclaims the deity of Christ. https://youtu.be/AACo2zzHMbQ
