music monday


don't count on this being regular but i felt inspired today. last night my friend stephen had an extra ticket to the OKGO show at the Old Rock House. it was a fantastic show and has had me thinking since last night, mainly because i just came from church and so the difference and similarities of concerts and worship services where standing out. hopefully those thoughts will come on paper one of these days.


anyway the band that opened really caught my attention. The Booze is from Atlanta and is straight up rock 'n roll/soul/blues from yesteryear. they had a great lighthearted approach and tight sound. you can find their stuff on iTunes or Amazon.

check out the slideshow and the review from the RFT.

we are all theologians

how to build a god

this was sent to me by my good friend kelly beth, amazing


Cam Huxford from the Mars Hill Downtown Seattle campus created this beautiful video to tell of his idolotry. It's amazing to see how each of the Mars Hill campuses are growing in maturity, in skill, and in the gospel. I'm thankful to be a part of this movement.

switchfoot rocked my face off


some sweet friends of ours, the konieczka's, bought us tickets to tonight's switchfoot show at the pageant. first let me say that the pageant is my absolute favorite place to see a show in st. louis. it is big enough for good sound but small enough to still be intimate.

second let me say switchfoot, oh switchfoot! they put on one of the best shows i have seen in a very long time. it was meshed from beginning to end with ridiculously awesome, but simple lights, old and new songs, and an energy and passion that i have almost never seen. i knew we were in for a treat when i got my hands on their new album months ago. it was filled with passion and raw energy that i had not heard since the beautiful letdown. and tonight hello hurricane did not disappoint.

the best thing about tonight was the hope and conviction that lead sing jon foreman sang and most importantly spoke with. the Gospel was present and real in his words. he talked of hope, redemption, salvation, and grace. tonight i saw what it meant to be a Gospel-centered rocker. i say that somewhat in jest but there were moments that i was overcome with overwhelming thankfulness for Jesus' mercy.

it was a great gift and an amazing show. i am so thankful to see the Gospel being played out in the lives of others doing different things than i am. i am and will continue to be a huge switchfoot fan. i pray God uses their music to plant the song of the Gospel in the dying world's ears.
