it’s a wild thing to grow up inspired by someone’s playing… and then years later, get to send them something you made. the creative life is long. you just never know where the threads will come together. feeling very grateful today.

i’m hardly good at anything. but the few things i am good at, i’m really good at. i’ve been writing songs for 30+ years. if you can pay attention, you can write songs too. i’m opening a few one-on-one songwriting coaching spots while i’m off the road. derekwebb.com/songwriting

as i keep thinking about what choosing “small” looks like in practice, starting this week i’m livestreaming myself quietly reworking songs from my catalog. calling them “quiet times.” first session is friday: patreon.com/derekwebb

i’ve been sitting with this for a while but i’m done pretending otherwise. ok i’m just going to say it. i’m a full blown heterophobic. fundamentally, i just don’t trust straight men.

Brother, you don't know me but I know your music. I was there in college station. I was raised on it and even at 47, it's very comforting to me...and also inspiring. I've played your songs tens of thousands of times. I can sing every one by heart. The way your heart/mind works has often spoken to me in my life. First, thank you. You may never see this but this sort of platform allows me the opportunity to get to say that to you. Your use of your gifts to do what you did got me through relationships, failures, and successes. I've danced and cried with you more times than I can count. As you've shifted your beliefs and the focus of your love I haven't grown frustrated with you as I'm sure many evangelicals have. Your life is your journey and all any of us can do is live it genuinely. I see that in you now like I've always seen it in you. I do have questions, though. When I was younger I would dream of having a conversation with Rich Mullins. Even though I never knew him, I wanted to ask him questions about his experience. I bet you have felt the same about Rich...even today. So I was wondering if there was ever a chance to chat. Maybe there's a group I can jump into? I don't have an agenda, but you've been so instrumental for me I wonder if you could share some of your journey these past years. Anyway, strange message I know. Be well.

@derekwebb saw this when it got posted a few days ago and it was a very well-articulated flashlight on something I was already hovering around but didn't have the language for. Thanks for always describing the world you see.

i shared something this week that i didn’t really know how people would receive. it’s long-ish. it’s not promotional. it’s just about art, attention, sustainability, and why i'm choosing small. if you missed it and have a few minutes today, it’s here: patreon.com/posts/future-i…

i’m going to confess something that will probably disqualify me from most modern conversations about art, growth, and success. i don’t want more fans. i just want the right ones. which is why the future, for me, is small. read the full essay: patreon.com/posts/future-i…

@derekwebb Me and thousands of thousands of fans of yours... How are we supposed to take that from you, with cutting us down? Saying that you don't trust me is like saying that you don't like me. That's a slap in the face from someone who I've looked up to for so many years.
