“My goal is to present complete authenticity and boldness for who I am as an artist, preacher, and educator. too often, we box ourselves into trends and force ourselves to evolve into someone that we no longer know, which can cause us to hit a creative block. As I studied that character of God, I realized that God is a multi-faceted, creative God And we are made in that same image. I want to present that concept to others, through the Gospel via singing, songwriting, and preaching. Every part of me is valuable to God and able to be used. "
