SPIRITUAL - Xtreme Music

Music was a huge part of my growing up. There was always
something playing in the background at the house, whether it was
Merle Haggard or Bonnie Raitt or Rich Mullins. And because of that,
certain songs are now forever attached to important memories and
defining moments of my life. I think the spiritual significance of music
even in that aspect of my life and everyone’s life is immeasurable.
Good music has a way of planting seeds of truth in your mind,
and you reap from it in your moments of need. Good music has a
way of reminding you where you’ve been and giving you hope for
tomorrow. On my hardest days, I can run from what’s really going
on inside of me as much as I want, but it only takes a timely song
to bring honesty to the surface. As a Christian and an artist, I’m
constantly blown away by how music can create community, honesty,
repentance, and hope where nothing else could break through.
