production and in the depth of connection with
the listener. To me when the heart of a song
is authentically captured, the stories of people
whose hearts were touched by that speaks so
much louder to me than any accolade. And
ultimately, I believe that’s impossible for me
without God’s leading. I’ve had the privilege of
being involved with songs that have done this
and to me that’s what I am most grateful for.
[WM] Having the studio right there as part of
your home, does We the Kingdom’s inspiration
come at all hours of the day and night?
[Ed] Absolutely it does; however, I’ve had
to learn (and still am learning!) how to keep a
balance with that. It’s not very conducive to
healthy family life just to run downstairs and
crank up the speakers and jam or record
anytime I feel inspired. I’ve tried to put family
first. Sometimes I’ve done that well, and
sometimes I’ve really stunk at it. There’s a give
and take to it. I’ve had to keep structure around
it. But it is really nice to be able to capture
something in those moments when a true wave
of creativity washes in.
[WM] How do you hope We the Kingdom
will impact the church and influence aspiring
Christian musicians?
[Ed] I believe there is no greater honor
creatively speaking in human relationships than
to inspire people toward their own creative
expression as an act of worship (which doesn’t
just have to be the “worship” genre. I believe
we can worship in all we do (as long as it’s not
sinful).
So, my deepest desire would be to ignite the
hearts of people to explore their own callings
to rise up and be bold and take a risk to be
vulnerable. And that it would draw them deeper
into the incredible revelation that we are wildly
loved by an amazing Father.
