constantly talking to one another with questions like“ What’ s happening in your church” and“ What’ s happening, in your congregation”.
” What is the Lord doing and what’ s being burned in you?” Derek and Brett and I we’ re constantly talking about it. So, there were several songs that we did in Atlanta, that we didn’ t even know if they were going to go on the record or not, but they just moved in our hearts, and we could feel the Spirit on them. And I think every time we do write a song that we believe Jesus is on, we always are ready to send it at church regardless of whatever life it’ s supposed to have.
We don’ t test drive songs to see if they’ re going to work on a record. We just ask ourselves,“ Does this help your regular 9 to 5 guy who works in a cubicle and who’ s not musical at all? Does this help him connect with the Lord in a deeper level? Is that helping him have language to minister to God?” That’ s what I want to sing in our church. I don’ t care what happens with it, you know?

And the deeper I fell in love with Jesus, the more I was kind of yearning to discover, you know, just music that I could carry into my daily life that matched the level of zeal, power, and passion that I was experiencing in my hidden life with the Lord. And there were several people doing great things. I had an early Jesus Culture burned CD that someone gave me.
