Current Season

Of the 43 years I have lived, this has been the hardest year of my life thus far.  In January, the home remodeling store that Emily and I owned went out of business. Longer story than I have time to tell here, but it happened. To say it was hard isn’t really right....

Wagoner, OK. Day 14. I’m going to keep it short and sweet tonight, folks. We are on the penultimate day of tour, and today was quite a way to spend our last performance on the road. I have been to a lot of churches with New G on tour, but I can honestly say that I...
