He’s Not Your Typical Christian Artist - He travels from city to city in a van, teaching scripture, playing in living rooms and normally wears nothing but a white t-shirt and jeans. In the past, he’s talked about how “crooked” he is and even wrote songs about repentance. His songwriting has brought moments of self examination, spiritual growth and at times controversy. He’s been rejected for nothing more than speaking Biblical truth. He doesn’t hesitate to call the body to righteousness, no matter how unpopular it makes him appear. His gons speak volumes and he’s not afraid to say what needs to be said.
