I’m not sure if you watched the Grammy’s last night, but there was this beautiful 80 second segment aired by Spotify designed to encourage young artists to trust their own sound. So many young artists began so soon because they trusted their inner voice more than a whole world that said otherwise. Arrested by the…
This world can be a confusing place at times. Unlike the past, there are endless distractions all clamoring for our time and attention. We have the world at our fingertips with just a few strokes on the keyboard. We have unparalleled access to information and with that information comes a litany of requirements; things we…
It may surprise you to know this, but God wants you to be yourself. Religion, which will always be the polar opposite of true Christianity, demands that you conform yourself to established dogmas and creeds which serve more to take away life than to give it.
