is good, and that I feel blessed by his friendship
and by the many others at Bayside who’ve
befriended me. I am really having the time of
my life!
[WM] You beat the odds and went from a
little boy with his street-corner drums and living
in a car with your family, to an internationally
renowned rock star we know and love as
Zoro the Drummer. Your faith in God helped to
direct your steps. What advice do you have for
worship musicians everywhere?
[Zoro] The same advice I would give to people
everywhere regardless of what they do. Serve
God with all your heart, trust him in the dark
times when it feels you’ve lost your way and
others have left you for dead, be courageous,
work hard, and always walk by faith because
faith is the only thing that pleases God.
Do everything with a spirit of excellence as if
you are doing it for the Lord himself and live in a
way that glorifies and honors him. Take the gifts
and talents God has given you and turn them
into a masterpiece that is used for his purposes.
Then, most importantly, remain a humble
servant because pride so often accompanies
any sense of human accomplishment.
Examine your life and ask yourself daily “whose
life is getting better because I’m alive and
whose benefitting from my gifts and talents?”
Remember, we don’t get any bonus points
because we’re gifted or talented because God
has given that to everyone. It’s just that many
have not acknowledged that or discovered
theirs.
In the end, the only thing that will matter is
whether or not we’ve used what we have
for God’s glory and whether or not it was a
blessing to people. I’ve been given the spiritual
gifts of an encourager, teacher, evangelist and
musician, but one day God will ask me to give
an account of how I used them.
Knowing I’ll be judged for all he has entrusted
unto me, I choose to live from that eternal At Bayside after a performance with Brian King Joseph (America’s Got Talent)
and Lincoln Brewster
