Quotes

“John Cooper really didn’t want me to try out.” 

“The one thing I was sure of is that He would not be using me and my drumming because it was the thing that I felt the weakest at.”

“Even in my work with Skillet, It’s my weakness [drumming] - the one thing I thought He couldn’t use about me, that has become the very thing that He’s displayed His glory through!”

“It felt so clear to me that this has nothing to do with me and everything to do with Him lining things up.”

 

"If you’re faithful with the little/mundane, God can open and trust you with a lot."

"So many place their identity in drumming, music, and songwriting. We often mix up the calling of God with our own dreams and desires. But a healthy reminder is that those who lose their lives, find their lives."

“Music can be an idol for people - it can get mixed up because you can feel like your doing it for God.”

“I’m trying to be someone that has too much faith, rather than too little.”

“How do you do two bands at once? I don’t know, but God does!”
