constantly . His ways are higher than my own and , truthfully , I don ’ t understand what He is doing most of the time .
But as He sustains me through each day , providing breath for my lungs , blood in my veins , I know he has a plan and a purpose for me . Despite where I ’ m at or what my perspective is , He doesn ’ t change . He ’ s still who He says he is .
[ MultiTracks . com ] We know “ Mas Rico Del Mundo ” is a favorite . Tell us about how your Dad ’ s motivational words growing up influenced this song , and tell us about the Spanish-inspired instrumentation ?
[ Evan ] “ Comparison is the thief of joy .” I remember hearing this hundreds of times and
I started telling myself this phrase when I was comparing myself to others earlier this year . They have x car , they have a bigger house , they have x success , etc . It was really bringing me down .
On the other hand , I ’ ve been able to travel to some incredible places where people are happy despite having very little . They would maybe say they don ’ t have much materially , but in terms of personal wealth , they put Elon Musk to shame . They have healthy family relationships , healthy marriages , love for Jesus , and contentment in their hearts . I want that over anything else . And “ Más Rico Del Mundo ” is a song I sing to myself constantly to make that a priority .
[ MultiTracks . com ] Lastly , tell us about “ Lean
On Me ,” the possibly influence of the original song , and how we cannot be Christ-like in silos ?
[ Evan ] We were definitely not meant to live this life alone . I ’ ve needed someone to lean on every day of my life and it doesn ’ t make you strong to be alone . Independence is great but it should never isolate us . Strength is being willing to be vulnerable and realize your need for a savior and other people . Sooner or later , you ’ re going to need someone . So call me up ! Lean on me !
