for today's song i give you an artist that i've been listening to a great deal this summer. i had never heard of josh garrels until i picked up one his albums for free on noisetrade.com (a great website that you should check out) and then he became a regular part of my listening. a person of faith who doesn't writes about his faith without being trite or relying on moral grandstanding. the music feels authentic and honest, personal and passionate. if i had to compare him to anyone, i would say he is sort of a mix of jack johnson, ben harper, mat kearney and ray lamontagne. this song is a twist on a classic song of faith, one that garrells doesn't allow to become a cliche and patronizing answer to the difficult questions life presents.
a collection of words about God and life and art and baseball and football and hope and my family and my ministry and music and the immense joy in each moment of all of it. it's a record of being human. welcome.
