| | A Lesson From Atheists
Monday, Aug 2nd, 2010
Everyone needs a super-villain. Traditionally among us evangelicals, atheists have tended to fit the bill. What better fall guys than the folks who don’t even acknowledge that there is a God! I know this is true because, if a preacher really wants to give a shocking conversion story from the pulpit, he might tell of an atheist he once knew that became a Christian. The ultimate non-Christian coming to Christ is always sure to wow a crowd. Yep, for all intensive purposes we Christians have ...

| | | A Look Inside at "Nightlights"
Monday, Aug 2nd, 2010
How would you say your sound has progressed from previous releases into Nightlights?
I think the best way I can describe it is, As I've gotten older, so has my sound. This is the closest I've ever been to the way my music sounds in my head. I grew up on older, vibey music. Stuff like Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, and James Taylor. It's only fitting that this record would have that flavor to it. In fact, in honor of James Taylor's music, I did a cover of "How Sweet It Is" on the a...

Monday, Aug 2nd, 2010
There I was, pounding my fists on the ground, crying out to God on my face in our music room. “Lord, have mercy!” Could this really be happening? Again? Kelly was already asleep by now. I couldn’t blame her. It was already late and she had been through so much these past weeks. It was the night before it happened.
It’s been a difficult year and a half for me and Kelly, to say the least. For those of you who don’t know, it was last August that we decided to start trying to have children aga...

Friday, Jun 5th, 2009
Hey Everyone!
I just wanted to let you all know that the brand new music video for "Firefly" is premiering at hearitfirst.com! "Firefly" is a fun quirky celebration song that I wrote about my bride, Kelly. About a month or so ago, we decided to move the song from the recording studio to the video screen, so we brought Chris Corrado in as director. Chris was assistant director on films like the latest Indiana Jones and Charlie Wilson's War. He currently works on the new NBC series "Life". T...

Hey all,
it's been a little while. I just wanted to briefly update you on some cool goings-on with me. If you've listened to my music at all, you might be familiar with the song I wrote to my wife Kelly, "Firefly". You can listen to it on my myspace in a minute if you'd like. We had a blast recording in studio.
Well, we felt it was about time to move it from the recording studio to the screen. This past week we just finished filming my new music video for the song 'Firefly'! For those ...

Monday, Mar 2nd, 2009
Hey Gang,
I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to give you guys a quick update. As some of you know, I have just released my latest single to radio called "Forgiven and Loved". It's a song that begs God to remind all of us that truly, for the Christian, there is no longer any condemnation due us.
Well, the good news is, Houston's own 89.3 KSBJ has added the song to their station and the response has been great so far. Being from Houston myself, I'm excited to see support from my loc...

Friday, Feb 27th, 2009
My new single "forgiven and loved" is a particularly dear song to me. I'll tell you why:
You can't give what you don't have. The one thing I have struggled with most in my relationship with the LORD is the ability to receive His love and forgiveness. For some reason I have this crazy notion that if i work really really hard I will finally put a smile on the Father's face. What I have failed to understand is that the only thing that truly pleases God is, in fact, God Himself. It is true tha...

Wednesday, Feb 25th, 2009
We all have our hidden corners. You know, those secret and wicked sins in our life that look so attractive in the dark, so much so that we sometimes spend our whole life trying to keep them from the bright exposure of the Son. Indeed, we all have hidden corners, some are just better hiding them than others.
I was 9 years old when my secret began. I was a 4th grader with 6th grade friends, friends who had access to pornography and graciously let me indulge with them. They took me to a near...

Friday, Dec 5th, 2008
I recently did an interview where the following question about evangelism was asked. I felt compelled to share this with you guys as it might encourage and challenge some of you.
Question: Do you have any advice for someone trying to reach their friends for Christ?
Jimmy: Pray that they're hearts would be softened. The reality is "the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of ...

Friday, Dec 5th, 2008
I think it's fair to say most of us are familiar with the opening words of Psalm 67, "May God be gracious to us and bless us and cause His face to shine upon us..."
These familiar words resound in our churches and in our prayer meetings almost incessantly. And, if not necessarily spoken, they still echo in our souls as a perpetual request of the american believer. Whether we affirm this consciously or unconsciously, if we were to boil this verse down to a single axiom it would sound someth...

A handful of months ago i had the privilege of playing a concert with Big Daddy Weave in Ft. Meyers, Florida. The concert went well and hanging with mike weaver and the gang was such a pleasure; honestly some of the best, God fearing men I've met in the music industry, not to mention incredible musicians. Though the evening was quite a treat, the catalyst for this blog came from what happened the day before. Grace Church had brought me out to Ft. Meyers a day early to give my testimony at a C...
