“I thought, “Wait a minute. That’s the perfect name.” That kind of freed up my year but that’s where the name came from.”

Some of our jokes we made up on the fly. I love Lecrae; we have been friends for a while and he is just one of my favorite people.

Even though they are usually singing similiar messages that are in today’s music, it is good to be reminded that the message of Christ is just as much relevant today as it was then.

The irony is when I originally wrote the song, it was called “Mary’s Lullaby.” I wrote it from Mary’s standpoint and it was in a higher key, a real falsetto, and it just wasn’t right.

I came to know Christ when I was 13 years old at a youth camp I attended. I may not have known much about Him, but I knew I was saved by grace and that, because of the cross.

Our relationship with Christ is something we cannot just turn on and off. It is a part of us. On our best, and our worst, we are in this thing for life.

One day, the producer’s wife said, “Well, it’s kind of odd that you’re singing from Mary’s perspective, being the guy. Why don’t you do Joseph?

I think the hymns give us a glimpse of the generations before us, and what was important to them at the time.

She was like, “What do you do all day?” and sarcastically I would say, “Well, I’m trying to chalk off the next year to spend time finding a band name.” And she said, “Well mercy me, why don’t you get a real job?”

I’m from Dallas, Texas, and every time my grandmother would call-she would call me any time of the day-I’d be home answering the phone.

I had a hope like no other. I cannot imagine life without Him.

I think Saturday may be Latin for “stay in pajamas til noon then eventually motivate yourself to shower and get ready for bed that night.

Our whole intention was to make a record of songs that we grew up with and change them up a little bit, but we kind of stumbled on writing “Joseph’s Lullaby.”

I was working in a church in Florida as a youth intern, which means I really didn’t do much other than staple stuff.

When the Mac first came out, Newsweek asked me what I [thought] of it. I said: Well, it’s the first personal computer worth criticizing.

Your family immigrated to this country – whether they came over on the Mayflower or whether they came over on a raft last year.

There wasn’t reparative therapy in Corinth. So in this passage I think people came to Christ and experienced a new life in him apart from the therapeutic process.

…all his longings came out as a kind of disdain for what he longed for.

I came to a stark realization: chronic surpluses could be almost as destabilizing as chronic deficits.

On the Greek frontier, one wasn’t sure what came next. So, don’t trust the telephone. Or the newspapers. Or the radio. Or tomorrow.

John Moncur has been much more effective since he came on

I started to itch to do a play again and ‘Macbeth’ came to the surface in my mind. I never thought I would do it in a conventional way. A sweaty Macbeth with blood on his arms coming in fresh from the battle doesn’t interest me.
