We're giving the new song away! FOR US is finally here... FOR YOU! This was the second song I recently recorded with amazing producer, Ed Cash (Chris Tomlin, Laura Story, Starfield...). The lyrics of this song were inspired by one of Charles Spurgeon's devotionals that ministered to me during a very dark time in my life. If you're in a place like that today, I pray the song ministers to you as well. 

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 song to download for FREE! There's a way to tip the artist there, too, if the song's a blessing and you'd like to help the ministry.

You can also listen to For Us and other songs I've recorded at my Facebook fan page HERE. I'm still learning how to market stuff, so please forgive me as this is a work in process. THANKS!! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Glad you're here and I pray that you find your way around the place easily! It's new and I'll be making updates and adding new features frequently, so please do check back often! 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?"

Blessed Hurricane Ministries officially got its name in '95, when I began full-time concert ministry. I had been reading a devotional, Morning and Evening, written by one of my all-time favorite preachers, Charles H. Spurgeon. The quote kinda summed up what the Lord had been showing me through the life of our special needs daughter, Amanda. Again, that afflictions and trials are peculiar "gifts" from the Lord. Here's what Spurgeon had written:

"In season of severe trial, the Christian has nothing on earth he can trust to and is therefore compelled to cast himself on his God alone. When his vessel's on its beam-end, and no human deliverance can avail, he must simply and entirely trust himself to the providence and care of God. Happy storm that wrecks a man on such a Rock as this! O blessed hurricane that drives a soul to God and God alone."

It's God's character and His great love that we, as a music ministry, want to make much of. And this ministry is to folks of all ages, all backgrounds and musical preferences. We're grateful to be just as appropriate for a youth event like Creation Festival as for an intimate evening church concert for boomers. We're spirit-led and mix it up to include music that is appropriate for wherever we find ourselves. And most important, our desire is that people leave not saying "Wasn't the music (or the worship, the concert, the testimonies, etc...) awesome?" but rather... "Isn't GOD awesome?"

So whether leading worship for your Sunday service, conference or retreat, or sharing an intimate evening of music with your church, college or house concert, thank you for the opportunity to make much of Christ together!
