My boy asherpetersonmusic namonamomusic made something beautiful and it’s out today. Also, skyegirlpics for the win! instagram.com/p/B9IrZzPhi3v/…

jordanandjessa released their album “Glorious” on Friday. I think it’s going to be so useful to the church. So often, we have to choose between form and content in the church. I think both are present in the… instagram.com/p/B86QDUTBKFi/…

“It’s not what you think. You’re not a machine. You were born to be more alive.” I wonder if @melaniepenn wrote those lines about me. I’ve been a slave to work most of my adult life but am learning to walk in the… instagram.com/p/B8QDyfyBwm0/…

Big release day yesterday! jordanandjessa released the first single from the LP we made last year. Congratulations to Jordan and Jessa on inaugurating this new season in their lives. I think they’ve written a… instagram.com/p/B7vx4S-BUtm/…

Another new release yesterday. “Reconciler.” Who does a throwback better than Alvin Love and Dwan Hill!? 70’s vibes plus a little Empire of the Sun combined with Alvin’s knack for very simple, profound lyrics. The… instagram.com/p/B7vpbFwBmie/…

@colonyhouseband released #leavewhatslostbehind today. When I got the call to work on this, their third LP, I was hoping the boys wanted to make a record with a lot of heart—something rangy and cinematic that spoke… instagram.com/p/B7uTrLsh5Q5/…

@colonyhouseband “Where I’m From.” I think the world of this band. This song features them at their best. The melody and the poetry, the vocals and that 🤯 guitar solo all come together to make a richly emotional… instagram.com/p/B7Qtd_nhVM0/…

I don’t like pictures of myself but I like this one. Me and @AndrewPeterson at theryman after what I think may have been the best #beholdthelambofgod ever. I love this man. instagram.com/p/B6kEJ0Mh___/…

In December 2001, a week after I graduated from Belmont, I sat in front of a small string section at the first ever Nashville Behold The Lamb Of God show. I had come to Nashville to help carry Rich Mullins’ torch,… instagram.com/p/B52qXpqBq6S/…

My 2010 album, “The Ill-Tempered Klavier” is now streaming! I made this record with Cason Cooley when we were young and cocky. Well, at least I was cocky. I had seen @AndrewPeterson living the writing life and I… instagram.com/p/B4kRK-tB2T7/…

Knowing the creative mind of @AndrewPeterson has been one of the most formative forces in my life. As I read his new book, I was so happy for countless others to experience what I’ve experienced. instagram.com/p/B4baNiqhXRT/…

A couple of years ago I got my mind blown by a @cecewinans album called “Let Them Fall In Love.” (Not too late to check that one out!) Thereafter, I was eager to get mixed up in anything by @dwanhill and… instagram.com/p/B4Ppj7dBwT9/…

@JoinBibleProj podcast rings all my bells. They just started a series on Sabbath that I think everyone should hear. This episode is particularly poignant. instagram.com/p/B4Kx-HPBrot/…

My story is so woven into this story I don’t know where to begin. A week after I graduated from college with a music degree (always a thing of dubious value) I was sitting on the stage with Andrew Peterson, watching… instagram.com/p/B4Ced96BiDq/…

So I always tell artists I want to make an Alison Krauss “Forget About It” record. Live-in-studio arrangements. Soft vocals. Super chill. @melaniepenn approached me about re-envisioning songs from Immanuel (an MP… instagram.com/p/B4Blma7hbdO/…

2019 marks the 20th year of #beholdthelambofgod. This year, I got a second chance to produce the album! We’d like to see this music outlive us and extend beyond our reach. A fresh recording felt essential to that… instagram.com/p/B34d3UKBe4a/…

@melaniepenn made this really bright, carefree video for “Don’t Worry.” Check out her feed to read some beautiful thoughts on uninhibited dancing, BTW. This song started as a track I had programmed on a write with… instagram.com/p/B28_jmghh0K/…
