We just completed Spring tour.  I'll be honest for a moment.  This tour felt longer than our Winter tour.  We covered over 6500 miles in five and a half weeks and stayed pretty busy playing[…]

We just made our final team member home stop of our year, and it just so happened to be my home! It was great to be back for a while. As much as I love[…]

As we are approaching the end of our Spring Tour, I’ve been more exhausted now than I ever have during my 2 years with CTI.  Most of this tour I have spent reading through the[…]

So when we got to our destination last night I realized I had forgotten all my toiletries at the previous host home. How did that happen? Don't ask! And out of all people this happened[…]

Last Friday morning when we were in Ontario, OR (confusing, I know), we got the opportunity to minister in quite a different way. We were told by our wonderful contact, Ken Simerly, that we were[…]

Woke up at 4am, on the road by 5am, drove 10 hours from Ontario, OR to East Helena, MT, set up our equipment, led a 6pm evening service in worship.  Tired doesn't even scratch the[…]

I never wanted a people to believe and understand so much.I've never really enjoyed the song in our rep, You Are Loved by Heather Williams. Ask anyone on my team, I thought it was cheesy[…]

Focus: Direction, a center of activity, attraction, or attention.I've been thinking a fair amount about focus recently. Where is my focus? Where should my focus be? The answer that I've been finding is that I[…]

During our first two weeks of tour I had the blessing of being in my hometown.  It’s exciting to show those who have supported you what you’ve been up to and how God has been[…]

Trusting in God is one of the hardest things for humans. We want to control every detail of ours lives from what time we wake up to what our careers and families will be like.[…]

Recently I've been thinking over and over again about why we are doing what we are doing and who we are doing it for. Our purpose as a fulltime team states: "to encourage the church,[…]

"Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.  Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.  Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous[…]

God's heart amazes me.  My team has spent the better half of the year trying to figure out how trust works.  It's not so much a relational thing.  Rather, we simply have several people that[…]

As some of you may know, this year Matt Redman's song "10,000 Reasons" is in our song rep. Lately, each time we sing this song I am reminded of what it looks like to still[…]

Recently, I have felt like I have experienced more deeply, or been reintroduced to in a way, God's infinite grace and mercy towards me, and it shook me. Coming back from our spring break I[…]

Most of the time when writing a blog I look to see what God has been showing me and what I have been learning from that. Today, I wanted to show everyone a little bit[…]

We haven’t quite been on the road for a week yet, but we’ve been busy. We’ve been in one place and have been playing multiple concerts each day. Many of the rooms aren’t ideal for[…]

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters[…]

"I know that my Redeemer lives and in the end He will stand upon the earth." --Job 19:25This has been one of my favorite passages for the last couple of years.  The first time I[…]

As a Christian, it’s a crucial part of our walk with God to be studying the Bible.  Sometimes we study it alone, in groups, other times we take it in while listening to a sermon. […]

We all know how important it is to read the Bible. How many times have I prayed for God to show me something through His word, then opened and started reading and felt like I[…]

Normally when we play a concert, it’s in front of a sea of blank faces. I don’t know anybody, and that seems to make it easier to do dramas and give testimonies. This past weekend[…]

A little over a year ago, during winter tour of my first full-time year with CTI, I had a conversation with one of my hosts in Florida about believing that God has the power to[…]

From a young age I have always had a tendency to be independent.  Whether it was making my own lunch, putting together a puzzle, or getting ready for the day, I liked to do it[…]

We've been on the road for about 7 weeks now with only just over 2 weeks left of this Winter tour.  It's been a tiring 7 weeks but looking back, it's so crazy how God[…]

I've heard a couple of different pastors talk before on the topic of knowing of Jesus vs. knowing Jesus. What I seem to be coming back to this year time and time again as I[…]

Recently I've been feeling very exhausted.  It comes from a combination of things and is something to be expected when in weeks 6-9 of a 9 and a half week tour.  But I'm also finding[…]

Psalm 139: 13-18For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.[…]
