"So often I stop and think, Man, do I really do this for a living?! It’s amazing how God gives each of us unique gifts and uses us for His glory. Through the years, I’ve come to realize this: It’s amazing what God can accomplish through a bunch of losers—frail, sinful human beings who really don’t have it all together. The Holy Spirit shows up and moves each night at our concerts. He transcends our humanity and does a great work." |
