The word 'empower' is something that kept coming up in my heart.
-
I definitely don't want to only make music in the Christian genre. I want to expand and kind of dive into whatever else is in store. But that doesn't mean I don't love what I get to do as well.
-
We, as Christians, have a legacy to leave, and it's all about a love of Christ to permeate the music and reach the hearts of all of the people out there, that don't know him and do know him.
-
As I've gotten older, my love for jazz has increased.
-
I love to sing all kinds of music, but I know that my heart is for people to know God, and I want them to experience his love.
-
My goal is always to just do my best and hope that the people who find my music also find God in the process.
-
When it comes to awards and things like that - I don't know why - I just always sit in amazement and never really expect it.
-
There's nothing wrong with wanting to be the best, but when it takes over the joy in the moment, and the joy in the journey, then that's where there's an internal tension. And I have to surrender that.
-
When I was little, I would sing all around the house.
-
I want to be a good steward and make sure what's in my heart is what God wants, and then once it's done and released, at that point it's up to God and what he does on the back end.
-
I want God to be speaking louder than the music.
-
If we show people that fear isn't actually the place that we have to surrender to, fear isn't actually the thing that we have to answer to, but instead, it's going in and loving people.
-
When I was a kid, and God was talking to me about music, I was like, 'Okay, I'll sing mainstream music,' because I was afraid to sing Christian music to alienate my friends. Honestly, it was going on 'Idol,' having that kind of exposure, that I realized there's something different about me. I just crave God being a part of every moment.
-
The most incredible part of seeing people embrace and recognize my music is experiencing the lives of people when they are powerfully affected, encouraged, and personally impacted.
-
Seriously, my heart is to just go forward as far as I can, making music that I love and seeing where the journey takes me.
-
I consider the homeless just as important as the richest of the rich.
-
I grew up listening to country music with my dad on the way to school.
-
Being from South Louisiana, we're just kind of rootsy.
-
I love co-writing. That whole process is a challenge in that good writers are pushing you.
-
When I go back to Louisiana, I want to be the same person that my friends remember me as. It's so important to me.
-
I definitely don't ever plan on compromising, and if that means I'm rebellious, then so be it. I'm all for it.
-
Someday, I hope to do a jazz club tour.
-
I'm so grateful that God has allowed His heart for people to translate through music, to impact the lives of so many, just like a loving Father would.

When I was 15, I had this illness and was basically housebound for two years.
