rooms , but I was outside on the patio where we could go , and there are two gardeners within earshot , talking about the plants and the shrubs . And one of them said , " This one can still be saved ." And that sentence hit my ear , and I started sobbing . It was another powerful experience , just like the tour bus . And after that , things really opened up for me , and I did start going to

church . I ' m not a fan of religion , but sick people go to a hospital , spiritually sick people come to a church . And they ' re not there because their life is going great – They ' re looking for something , looking for a feeling , looking for a release from their shame and guilt and torment . And so this whole other world was opened up to me , and now I understand that side of things . And my church -- the Awaken Church in San Diego – happens to be about having a relationship with the Creator , and not religion , and it ' s just really cool . I went there to see a guest speaker that I really liked , and when I first walked in , they were singing worship music , everyone was smiling , and it felt like a rock concert . So I just kept going . And it ' s not for everybody , but that ' s just where I ended up . I don ' t think that ' s an accident – God is definitely showing me something .

IE : There ' s a lot of natural imagery on the album -- rain , storms , thunder , and lightning . Did weather play a significant part ? DM : It did . And I don ' t know why that is , but I think it ' s fascinating . But it just happened . But I think that when you have a relationship with the Creator , you can go through any dark season , any storm , and there ' s calmness and stillness

and peace , and you can speak to the storm and tell it to be still . We have so much more powerthanwe ' reawareof . We ' retoldonadaily basis that we ' re not enough , that we need to buy things to fill that hole inside of us , that we need to put drugs and alcohol in our body , that love comes from another person -- the messaging in this world is really twisted and upside down . So I ' m just trying to do my part and get a little bit of the messaging through the music that gives people hope and points them toward the light , you know ? I ' m not trying to be self-important - - I just want to serve . It ' s not like , " Oh , I ' m so holy ! I ' m so great !" No , I have to serve , or I relapse . I have to serve , or my tank becomes empty . So I do what I can in my limited human capacity to just be helpful to the human race – that ' s really so deeply satisfying for me .
