Interview:
I think that music is a divine gift. We often have an image of God as a cold, almost stoic and uninterested observer of all that happens in the world. But God is the Creator, and in His creation you see unbelievable detail, hints of His existence and engagement in His creation everywhere you look. From the obvious grandeur of mountains to the hidden intricacies of a single cell or of any living thing, we see God in His creativity. I think music allows us a small window into the true nature of God. Because He knows us inside and out, music touches deep, inner places that little else can. I can be emotionally flatlined and hear two lines of a song that reminds me of my four year-old daughter and I’m in tears almost instantly. That to me is just as much proof of the existence of God as the vastness of the ocean or the sky. He created me to feel, to love, to experience Him and the life He has for me. And He gifted me with music to help me along that journey to get in touch with myself and with Him, and to share what I find along the way with others.
“Music is a divine gift… Music allows us a small window into the true nature of God.”
