The ability to genuinely connect with a person's heart and draw them into a real-time conversation with God seems to have become a dying art form. It's just not something you can learn at a conference or program into your set. It comes from a deep well and is cultivated over years. That means it's time consuming and expensive. Maybe that's why it's become so rare. Our cheap and easy "just

Lyric Of The Week

2010-07-12T15:03:00.004-04:00

The lyric of this week is a whole song by one of my favorite writers. It's called "Tumbling Ground" by Kevin Prosch as recorded by Kevin and the Black Peppercorns for the album also titled "Tumbling Ground". I recently re-purchased this album when I played at Keven's Music Coope Festival this summer (the CD had been stolen from my car some years ago). I've been listening to it again and its

These lines are form The Killers song "A Dustland Fairy Tale". I've had this song in my head for a year. This particular portion always gets to me:"Change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire.She said she always knew he'd come around.And the decades disappearLike sinking ships but we persevere.God gives us hope but we still fear what we don't know."Once again, if you don't think

Lyric Of The Week

2010-06-29T14:13:00.005-04:00

"She Loves You", From the Gaslight AnthemAnd If all was wellAnd your heart could find the wordsWould we be for better babyWould we be for worseAnd if there was a wayTo navigate your seasIf tonight my true loveDid belong to meIf you don't think its awesome, go hear it in context.

"I think it all started for me that year I couldn’t sleep and almost lost my mind."
