    Tell us a little about yourself.  My educational background is both musical and theological. I have a Bachelor of Music and a Bachelor of Music Education from UNC, a Master of Divinity from Denver Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry from Fuller Seminary. I have a wonderful wife that loves Jesus and four boys that bring us great joy.

    What was your motivation behind this project?  My motivation behind this project was to help worship leaders become theologians, disciples, artists and leaders. We need to develop in all categories or our worship leadership will be at best impaired.

    What do you hope folks will gain from this project?  I hope that worship leaders around the world will join me in the desire to cultivate a theological mind, a passion to abide in Jesus daily, skillful art forms, and the ability to appreciate God's redemptive work in and through the Body of Christ.

    Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists?  I have been influenced by fomer teachers Dallas Willard (on what it means to follow Jesus) and Darrell Johnson and Earl Palmer (on the need to give people Good News not just good advice).

    Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know:  I'm on a campaign to help people regain their confidence in the written word of God and the fact that Jesus Christ and His Kingdom is taking over the world.
