1. Please tell us how 2020 changed your relationships?
2020 changed my relationships in a huge way. This season of slowing down, coupled with navigating the growing intensity in our social and political climate in America; grew and stressed my relationships. It reframed what I place value on. It reminded me of who and and what is important my life.
2. Share the most challenging part of the past year.
For me, it was sensing and noticing such a stressful divide within our nation. The inability to have any conversation with one another because of the extremely polarizing atmosphere has been sad.
3. Some really great advice you received recently was…
2 things in life to not buy cheap… Your guitar, and your mayonnaise!
4. How do you continue to deepen your relationship with Jesus?
I am intentional about staying in the Word of God; reading my bible; talking to God in my thoughts all throughout the day.
5. Share about that new song of yours.
I have a new song called “When We Fall Apart” which is inspired by the last conversation I had with my mom before she passed. My mom and I were very close; and she poured a lot of insight and care into me, as her only son. The lyrics to this song, are quite literally her dying message to me- telling me that it’s ok to fall apart! We strive to always appear to have it all together; especially when we’re suffering or struggling with something in our personal lives. My hope is that this message from my mother, that helped give me a lot of freedom and healing, would do the same for all of us.
6. Tell us about someone who you really respect and why?
My dear friend and mentor Joey Elwood. Joey is the president and co-founder of our record company. Aside from being a CEO of a company, Joey has become a close friend, mentor and father figure. He has changed my families life with his kindness, generosity and belief in me!
