Since I travel so much, it’s always great to be home. There’s nothing like getting to raid my own refrigerator at two in the morning.
Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it’s not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long.
I can look at the future with anticipation. And it’s comforting to know that someday, as Christians, we’ll be able to look back and have a little more clarity on why certain things in life happened.
There’s a beauty to wisdom and experience that cannot be faked. It’s impossible to be mature without having lived.
I think that if my kids are completely convinced of God’s unfailing love for them, whether they fail or not, they’ll have confidence to persevere in life.
The great thing about a song is that no one has to know your story. But if you tell it in a way that has clarity and means something to somebody else, then it can apply to their story.
The fact of the matter is, when I’m on tour, I’m juggling so hard to keep all the balls in the air that I don’t often get to really enjoy what I’m out there doing.
To me, the human experience does involve a great deal of anguish. It’s joyful, but it’s bittersweet. I just think that’s life.
The world my children are growing up in is so much more sophisticated and exposed – emotionally, intellectually, sexually.
I had the great advantage of a mother who used to tell me the most beautiful years of a woman’s life are ages 35 to 45.
I’m going to live what I believe.
Real relationship is gritty and earthy, the stuff that life is made of.
I need music like I need water.
Man hurts man, time and time again. As we drown in the wake of our power, somebody tell me why?
Heaven plants a special seed, and we must have faith.
All I ever have to be is what you made me.
The same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay.
Life is a process, and you just take it a day at a time, and you can’t live in tomorrow, and you can’t reach back and be in yesterday. No matter how much you want to, you just have what’s right there in front of you.
For me, the backdrop of half the experiences of life includes music.
The people I’ve been exposed to have been people of amazing integrity.
