My grandparents were married for 77 years. And one of the greatest gifts my father gave to me before he died was his love and faithfulness to my mom for over 60 yrs. Here's a moving song about staying by one of my favorite artists...

 An excellent message from Pastor Tim Keller on The Reason for God.

Conference Calls

This month, I have the honor of leading worship for three unique conferences.

The first will be a three day gathering on June 6-8 at Eastern University with  Dr. Carl Trueman, of Westminster Theological Seminary. I'm looking forward to sitting under Dr. Trueman's teaching.

I'm also very excited to meet and worship with the members of CFSG who are sponsoring the event. They are a small, diverse group of Christian financial advisors from all over the world who have been meeting once a year for worship, fellowship and teaching for the past 35 YEARS! How cool is that?

Then on Monday, June 10th, I'll be helping lead God's praise for the ReFrame Conference of church planters, taking place at the Tuscarora Inn in Mt. Bethel, PA. Keynote speakers will include Bruce Bennett (Into Africa Project Director of OMS International) and David Harvey (overseeing Acts 12:24 Network of churches).

To close out the month, I've been invited by my good friend and world class hunter, Brent Ebeling, to lead worship for an all day worship and teaching conference on Saturday, June 29th in Winchester, VA.

Brent is part of a multi-church community of believers called The Trough, who meet weekly. They've worked hard to put this event together and we would love to see you there! Bring your friends, and let's make a day of it. Join us for a powerful time of enjoying God's manifest presence together!

Your Support

Your gifts of support to help this music ministry are so greatly appreciated, as they help thousands of people each year come to hear and sing the good news of Jesus Christ. It's all about worship.

As John Piper rightly said, "Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't. Missions begins and ends with worship. When the flame of worship burns with the heat of God's true worth, the light of missions will shine to the darkest peoples on earth."

The Lord is using this music ministry to bring His light into the dark places, the broken places, the hopeless places. Your prayerful support helps me go wherever the Lord would have me serve. It also helps fund new recordings so they don't come from our family budget. And your gifts can be tax-deductible by following these instructions HERE.

If you've been blessed by this music ministry and would like to support me in the work God is doing, I would be so honored to team with you. Thank you!!

 

 

NOISETRADE SAMPLER!

I have a number of new songs I'd love to record for you, so look for a Kickstarter campaign to begin! In the meantime, we've released an 11-song sampler on Noisetrade. 

The sampler includes songs from all my past projects, including the live, hidden track duet I sang with my daughter, Lauren, that so many of you have written me about. There's the two new ones I did with amazing producer, Ed Cash. And there's also a bonus track of a living room guitar demo of The Fragrance of Christ. Please share this sampler with your friends on Facebook!

Just enter the info above or click HERE. In exchange for your email & zip (which will only go to my fanbase- no spam!), NoiseTrade will email you the songs! It's free, but I'd greatly appreciate a gift of any amount to help towards the new recording. Don't forget, you can also give a tax-deductible donation by going HERE

Thank you so much for your love, prayers & support!!

New Here?

Glad you're here and I pray that you find your way around the place easily! If you've got any questions or ideas for making it better, feel free to drop me a line.

This website really exists for a couple of reasons. One is to help you locate songs & free chord charts of mine quickly. The other is to provide information and resources for those of you who are unfamiliar with this concert and worship ministry.

My joy has been to share the hope and grace I've come to know with those who feel as though all hope is gone (2 Cor. 1:3-4). I understand what it's like to be there... our family has experienced some profound sorrows (you can read a brief bio here or if you have some time and a latte, there's a novel's worth of TMI in the long version).

We've had some wonderful, amazing grace stories as well, don't get me wrong. It's just... I tend to write better in the valley than on the mountain top. (Probably because I listen better there). And these songs and this ministry are real because they're being lived out. I've found when leading folks in worship or ministering in song, there's a deeper joy that comes from a broken heart. A joy that comes from trusting a Sovereign God who reigns over every circumstance of life.

Why "Blessed Hurricane?"

I often get asked why our music ministry is called Blessed Hurricane Ministries. If you've wondered about that, or if you'd like to hear more about the heart & vision behind this ministry, click HERE.
