Details:
My call to ministry happened on a dirt path overlooking the ocean in my hometown of Bandon, Oregon. I was a confused 15 year old who had spent two hours on the beach asking God to give me a sign if He was real. Nothing happened. As I walked up the path I heard the words of Jesus in my mind, “You shall not put the Lord to the test”. In my heart, I told God, “I’ll just believe in You anyway”. I took two steps, and noticed a piece of paper lying at my feet. I flipped over the piece of paper, and it read: RAISE YOUR VOICE AND SING FOR THE LORD, HALLELUJAH!
Since then, I have been devoted to seeking to know God, and to glorify Him through song. Artistically, this had led me down many dirt paths and alleyways, but the heart of the mission has always been the same. When I was 20, I was working in a cranberry field on my brother-in-laws farm. I prayed that God would lead me somewhere where I could get good at recording. When I got home I got a call from Briercrest Bible College in Caronport, Saskatchewan. I believe that God led me on the first step of a great journey through that phone call.
I ended up leaving town with barely enough money to live on, no money for school, and without knowing anyone in Canada (I had never been north of Seattle). I got on a bus with only my suitcase and my guitar and left on a 48 hour trip into the unknown. Over the next four years I had an opportunity to be saturated in the Word of God in a way that transformed and matured my faith. I made great friends with some fine people, learned how to think critically, got my bachelor’s degree, and made a couple of CD’s with Slyngshot Records (Another Hard Tomorrow, In Stereo). The Lord truly did something significant in my life in that time.
In 2001, I moved to Kelowna, BC to marry the love of my life, Angela. Over the next two years I recorded The Altar of Each Moment and started working as the worship pastor at Willow Park Church South. Working at a church was the last thing I had ever expected to be doing. It was, however, one of the best things that could have happened to me in that season. I had burnt out on touring after a couple of rough experiences on the road. In retrospect I understand that God was drying up my ministry as a songwriter, and bringing to life my ministry as a worship leader.
I started writing and studying poetry. This ended up being a very influential part of the process for my next record Light on the Darkest Line. It is an album of poetic psalmistry. It got more recognition than any of my previous recordings, being nominated for the Western Canadian Music Awards, and 3 Covenant Awards, including worship song of the year (Lift Voice; Lift Soul).
I recently stepped down after 3 great years at Willow Park Church in Kelowna, because I have felt a tugging at my heart that God is leading me on the next step of my journey. I’m currently writing & recording a new worship album, focusing on playing concerts, and leading worship at Deep Roots Night - a valley wide worship night for young adults. Every month we’re seeing hundreds of young adults draw closer to Jesus.
My goal in life is to make earth look more like Heaven. My songs are more devotional than evangelistic. I have a dream that I will be a prophetic voice to the Church-one that edifies, exhorts, and consoles the saints (I Cor.14:3). My soul has been awakened to the grace of God, and I realize that life as we know it is but a shadow of the greater reality…the land promised to the strangers, the ramblers, the poets and the meek. Mine is the voice of one calling to Jesus to open the sky and meet us on the journey home.
