Live Life Loud in Calgary

Last weekend we got to play an awesome Franklin Graham event in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This is, of course, the home of Jason’s favorite hockey team, the Flames. He opted to wear a Flames shirt underneath his show clothes at the start of the show, so he could proudly rock Flames stuff later in the set…

It was a great time, and Ransom.TV posted a great video of our last song of the day…. Live Life Loud. Check it out!

Franklin Graham on CNN

Last night I just happened to flip over to CNN, and I saw John King interview Franklin Graham, the son of Billy Graham. It was about a 12 minute interview, and I was so appreciative of how direct Pastor Graham was….. He shared the gospel of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ…. directly and repeatedly. I counted 3 times.

During the interview he was asked many direct questions about Islam. He speaks out very strongly against Islamic teachings, but still always comes back to his main point…. that Jesus Christ died on the cross for ALL of our sins, and that salvation is ours if we but accept it through faith.

It was awesome to hear such a bold sharing of the gospel on CNN.

I managed to find the first few minutes of the interview here…..



They go on to talk more about Islam, and Pastor Graham shares the truth of the gospel several more times. At one point I was listening to the interview while making dinner, and literally cheered every time he looked directly into the camera and talked about salvation through Jesus Christ.

If CNN posts the entire interview, I’ll put it up here… but for now check out the portion above!

G-G-Guns!

We’re up in Alaska at the moment….. and one of the cool things about this place is that the gun laws are……….. well, let’s say “relaxed”.

Photo Montage: Fly Dates!


Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be in a traveling band?

Have you ever thought about how glamourous it must be to fly all over the world and play amazing shows?


Sure there’s some awesome experiences, a good amount of fun, and some music played… but there is also a lot of what I like to call “awkward sleep”.


Here is a photo montage of some “awkward sleep” moments from this past weekend….

Disciple Rocks Dot Com!

This past weekend we played a festival in Colorado called HeavenFest. A TON of other bands were there, on like 7 stages… It was a great day!

One of the highlights of the day was Disciple’s performance. I’m biased, cuz some of these are my close friends…. but I still think they put on a killer show!



They’ve got a new record coming out next month called Horseshoes and Hand Grenades. I’ve heard a bunch of the songs and they’re KILLER. You need to get this record.

Oh, and on top of that, they have an amazing pre-order package. If you go to disciplerocks.com, you can get the record digitally before it even comes out, and then they’ll send you SO much more… plus there’s like 7 bonus tracks. Rad, right? Don’t be silly, go get it.
