This weekend we launch our second collection, "Help Me Perceive," around a theme we've been circling for... well... most of our lives! Here's a sample...

The bridge for "Satisfy Us" does alot of the heavy lifting.... why should I work and try if there's just pain... There is an answer, if you will seek it out! Listen on Apple, YouTube, Amazon and Spotify: tinyurl.com/fcsatisfy

"Satisfy Us" is based entirely on Psalm 90, Moses' only psalm and home to many of the Bible's most well known phrases on time. Yes, our days are like grass. But there is meaning, if we will seek it. Listen on Apple, YouTube, Amazon and Spotify: tinyurl.com/fcsatisfy

God’s grace doesn’t make me feel good where I am. Grace turns my gaze, and my professions: “be my vision and my song…. I fix my eyes.” This is worship in the reality of our days.... eyes off of me. Listen on Apple, Prime and Spotify: tinyurl.com/2zaps62j

Feel stuck in your own inner feedback loop? Wondering... “What will set me free from me?” The only hope is getting our eyes off of ourselves. That's what "Off Of Me" is all about. Listen on Apple, Prime and Spotify: tinyurl.com/2zaps62j

I'm a lyricist at heart, so the "bridge" to "Build Your Temple" is where i wrestle... it hurts "when the stones are being but and my life is laid down." That's the price of having God fashion in us His heart's desire. Listen on Apple, Amazon and Spotify: shorturl.at/de8K4

“Build Your Temple” is a formation song, less about atmosphere than about shaping a habitation for God’s presence. God is building, we are responding. God fashions. Our “job” is consent. Look for "Funner Collective" everywhere including Spotify: shorturl.at/de8K4

“Consecrated To You” is a song of covenantal worship with explicit atonement theology. I want my songs to be clear not vague. Sin happened. Blood was shed. Forgiveness is real. So I offer... everything. Listen everywhere including Spotify: tinyurl.com/mus8c5zh

Shameless Praise moves through a very classical life story arc: chains I can't even see... a need for fresh perception... and the freedom of surrender. Enjoy "Shameless Praise" everywhere including Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/2rPdI…

Early that morning, the mocking began. Pilate found "no grounds at all for charges," yet the people shouted, "Crucify Him." Here's a new song we wrote just for Good Friday... in four parts. Listen on Spotify et al: open.spotify.com/album/2rPdI…

Our title cut... cuts to my heart every day... can I worship with no fear... no shame? Only song I ever wrote entirely during a worship service... Check out "Shameless Praise" in the musicverse (we love Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/3hO73…

We're taking a leap an "launching" (literally) today! "Shameless Praise" is now live on the musicverse. Our fav is Spotify but, Apple, Amazon, YouTube

First song. One small step for the musicverse, one giant leap for Funner Collective

As yet another preemptive war is begun in the Middle East, John Quincy Adam’s words of wisdom still ring true: “Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.” Like most Americans I have sympathy for the plight of the Iranian people and all subjected people around the globe, from North Korea to Tibet. But as Adam’s wrote, America:  “goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.” The Constitution conferred the power to declare or initiate war to Congress for a reason, to make war less likely.   Madison wrote that “the Executive Branch is the branch most prone to war, therefore, the Constitution, with studied care, delegated the war power to the legislature.” As with all war, my first and purest instinct is wish Americans soldiers safety and success in their mission.   But my oath of office is to the Constitution, so with studied care, I must oppose another Presidential war.
