Interview:

The spiritual significance of music could be debated for decades. I know for me personally, music can draw me into communion with God. It can also make me feel aggressive, it can make me feel relaxed, and it can completely change my mood. What does this mean in a spiritual sense? Maybe that we as artists need to examine what it is we are trying to communicate with our music, since music can be so powerful. I am now hearing many testimonies of how my own music has impacted people, and at the time when I wrote these songs I had no idea they would be heard by so many. We must realize that as artists there is great power in our hands to impact and influence people. Our music can start to change the spiritual climate.

“Music can draw me into communion with God… Music can start to change the spiritual climate.”
