The new CD is out and has really been going well – thanks to all of you who have contacted us to tell us what it’s meant to you!

We are very excited to have partnered with Creative Promotions who will be handling our US radio promotion, and with Phoenix 5, who will be handling our Canadian radio promotion. The US promotion starts this week, and the Canadian promotion has begun and is going well, so listen for “Beauty from Pain” or “Be His Hands” on a station near you!

I’m leaving on Saturday to do a Florida tour, and can’t wait to see some sunshine – it’s been really cold here in Ohio. I’m praying that God will really use the time to His glory!

We are so excited to let you know that the new CD is on its way! There will be a release concert and party at Faith Covenant Church on December 1st in Columbus, Ohio at 7 pm, and if you’re around there, it’ll be the place to be!

We’ve added some clips from the new music to the player, and you can also hear clips of everything in the store here. As well, we’re running a pre-order sale, and I’d be happy to sign anything – just send us a little note with the order.

This really has been the most fun to make, and I’m so happy with the result. God is so good!

Well, it’s official! The new CD is coming out on December 1st! It’s called Finding Beauty and I really can’t wait to share it with everyone. Working with my producer, Jon, on this has been such a blast and a blessing too! We’ll be finishing up the recording in the next several weeks.

I’ll post some samples soon, as well as a pre-order form in the next couple of weeks. God is so good!

Hey, everybody, I’m so excited to share with you all my newest radio report (listed below) – these are the stations who have recently added “Let There Be Light” to their playlists. My music has officially gone international! Can I tell you how cool it is to know that people are listening to my music in South Africa?! There are another 20 or so stations playing me not on this list, but it’s a different list – if you’re playing me, please shoot me a message so I can include you.

If these stations are near you, I really need your help. Would you call and request my song? And if I’m not being played where you are, would you call and ask them to pick me up? I would appreciate it so much!

Also, in the next week or so we will be sending out “Rescue Me” for radio stations to pick up – please support this by calling and requesting that song. You have no idea how much impact you can make – it only takes a few calls to really help an artist along, and I would be grateful.

Thank you so much, rejoice with me!!

Well, the summer is flying by, and it’s been wonderful so far. We’ve got about a third of the Earthen Vessels Tour left to go, and it’s been such a privilege to work with the other artists – it’s so fun to partner with other people who love the Lord.

Also, I’ve started work on my next album which we hope to have out in the late fall, and I’m so excited about the direction it’s going. God has been so good to me in connecting me with a wonderful producer, and I love the sound. I can’t wait to share it and see what God will do with it!

Also, I’ve been fortunate enough to sign with a wonderful new agency, Destiny Management, who will handle a lot of my booking and publicity. This is another area in which I’m excited to see God opening doors.

Thanks for visiting, and don’t forget to sign up for the email update – that’s the best way to keep up with what’s happening with the ministry. God bless you!

Hi, everybody, I’m off today for Indianapolis because the Earthen Vessels Tour starts there tomorrow – I’m so excited to meet these wonderful artists I’ve been working with for the last few months! It’s so funny that we all feel like we know each other, but we’d all better dress like our promo pics or we won’t recognize each other, lol, it’s all been by conference call.

We are so honored to have this tour sponsored by Compassion International, Indieheaven, and SIT Strings – what a wonderful blessing.

We’ll be all over the Midwest, so if that’s your neck of the woods, look us up and come out to a show! If you get there, come and say hi – I love to meet people I “know” online. You can find my schedule by going to “links” and hitting either my myspace or shoutlife pages.

God bless, and please be praying that the Lord would really use this tour for His glory!

P.S. The official site if you want it is earthenvesselstour.com. 🙂

We had a fabulous tour to Florida – thank you to everyone who was praying for our trip! We met so many wonderful people, and were asked back to every place we performed. It was so humbling and beautiful to see God move, and how could we not have fun in such beautiful places with such perfect weather? It was way too busy, but in a good way.

The concert at Long Street went really well last week. I’m really looking forward to going back there with the Earthen Vessel Tour in July.

It’s been really nice to have a few weeks off now before June, since that month is really booked. Also, I’ve been having some trouble with my eyes, a very odd virus that I picked up on tour. I hope that it will clear before my upcoming concerts, and I really appreciate your prayers for that.

If you’re in Northeast Ohio, I’m giving a worship seminar in Warren with Tia Ciferno on June 9th – come out and join us! It’s going to be a great day. Also, if you’re in central Ohio, send your kids out to be pirates with us at our VBS June 18-22 – I’ll be leading the singing and the play. And as always, you can see my full schedule by going to links and checking out my shoutlife or myspace pages.

God bless you!

I’m leaving today on a tour of Florida. I’d love it if you’d be praying for our tour, that God would be glorified in every way, and for safety and health while we’re traveling. If you want to see the schedule, go to “links” and check out my shoutlife or myspace page – they’re all listed there!

Also, if you’re in central OH, don’t forget to get your tickets for the concert at Long Street Studio on May 12th! This is a full concert, and tickets are available here by clicking on “store”. I hope I see you there!

Hey, all, I made a new children’s album called “Seeking God’s Treasure”. We just put it up for listening, download, and pre-order, so go and check it out! It’s a short, pirate-themed album made for our church’s summer Adventure Week (VBS). It has five scripture memory songs straight from the NIV, so it’s a great way to teach your kids (and yourself!) scriptures about God’s treasures from the Bible. It also includes a theme song and a roll call song for the classes.

I’d love to hear what you think of it, and if your church’s VBS or children’s program is interested, please let us know because bulk pricing is available. Thanks, and arrrrrr, matey!

Thanks so much for visiting my page. Please take a second to sign up on our new email list (click above this post) so we can keep you up to date on any concerts that are happening in your area!

I was picked up on 25 new radio stations this month, which I’m very excited about. When I get the specific stats, I will post the stations so you can see if there’s one near you.

I’m going to be featured in 3 magazines in the next month. Two of them come out in the next two weeks in the magazines’ March issues. I will have a feature article, and be on the cover of Looking Up Magazine, and have a feature article in Inspire Us Magazine. I am also going to be featured in an internet magazine, and will post the specifics of that when I know the run date.

My mini-tour in Florida is starting to shape up as I add dates. If you have any ideas for me for places to perform in FL, I’d love to hear them!

In the next few days, we will go live on an update to our store here on the site which will allow you to download individual songs as well as the whole album in MP3 format. I’m excited to have this new option, and it will also let you preview all the songs.

I just want to say again how grateful I am for all of your prayers and support of this ministry – I really appreciate you!
