God Is At Work, Look Up!
For the past few days, I felt like I was stuck in a loop. Doing the same things, facing the same challenges, and seemingly making very little progress. There are so many things I want to accomplish, and feeling stuck is not exactly my favorite activity. I like seeing...
The Night I Kept Crashing Into Walls
We all live in a place. Some call it a house, some a hut, some an apartment tucked between busy streets. For years, my place was Hoboken, New Jersey. Friends in the building. Basketball at the park. Church a few blocks away. Life fit like a favorite shirt—comfortable,...
The Day Fear Ruled Me
The Unbelievable Story The 1980s in uptown Hoboken carried its rhythm, a mix of grit and charm that pulsed through Washington Street. Mom-and-pop shops adorned the cracked sidewalks, and you could hear the echo of buses braking, car horns in the distance, and...
Absolutely Not Meant to Do This Alone
Hebrews 10:24–25 "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." God’s Design for Community...

Withstand Tornadoes
It’s almost inevitable that we go through seasons where life’s problems come at us like tornadoes. We don’t expect them or ask them to come, but they show up. To be honest, some storms we bring on ourselves. I know I’ve walked right into a few tornadoes that weren’t...
I Choose To
Proverbs 1:5 “A wise man will hear and increase in learning, and a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel.” Several years ago, I preached a message called “I Choose To.” It came from a season when God was teaching me that spiritual growth doesn’t just...
Good Good Father — A Song Born in the Storm
On March 28, my world was turned upside down by an unexpected health crisis. What started as a gastral illness left me in pain and discomfort and caused me to lose 60 pounds. But even in the middle of the hardest nights, I made a decision: I would keep praising God....
Help Will Come
A true middle-school memory that still preaches Philippians 4:6-7 to my grown-up heart Capture the Flag … and a bully’s fury Gym class in fifth grade was supposed to be harmless fun—until my number was paired with “that” kid, the one who’d been left back a few times...
Why Do You Do What You Do?
A heart-check for every worshipper inspired by Psalm 96 For years I chased the spotlight—one instrument at a time I began my musical journey on the church drums. The moment a more skilled drummer showed up, I slid over to guitar, then bass, and eventually piano, each...
"Keep up to date with all that's going on: like new blogs, songs, content, new products and anything else I get inspired to do."

My life is a living testimony that God is patient, merciful, and full of grace. I believe with all my heart that He loves us beyond understanding and has a purpose for me until my very last breath. This conviction is the 'why' behind everything I create. My work is designed to give Him glory and to encourage you to draw closer to Him.
