Thanks for releasing this! As long as something is not heretical I really wish we could break down more of these artificial topical barriers put on different genres. All of life is God's. From Psalms to train rides.

So many of the great songwriters in the last century have been able to write about God alongside other aspects of life, from Jon Forman, Bono, Lauryn Hill, Dylan, and Johnny Cash. Cash specifically I think about how he can go from a love song, to a criminal about to be hung in 25 minutes, a bathroom themed breakup song, to finding God in prison. And somehow he is able to transcend all the label/genre debates.

And I get it, we live in the playlistification age. I've faced all those submit hub cafeteria tables of being too this or too that. It's easier to market an artist if they stick to a lane. But we need to see God in all aspects of life and in all playlists. Keep writing about everything.

I've listened to lots of your music over the years. Music that has helped my worship to the Father, but this has me connecting with you as an artist, and now seeing the man who loves Jesus writing like David did in the psalms. Thank you for sharing. It was eloquent and beautiful.
