Quotes

Steven: My calling as a Christian is to know the lyrics of the gospel so well that its music resonates through my whole being to the delight of my Father, anytime, anywhere. (edit)
Steven: (speaking on his album "All About Love") I really feel like this record is as deeply spiritual in every one of the songs as every record I've ever written. I write music out of my experience of and exploring God's grace and where God shows up in my life. There's no place in my life where I have seen more profound revelations of God and His presence and my need for Him than in my relationships, and particularly in my marriage. (edit)
Steven: The beautiful thing about the theme of adoption is any time we tell an adoption story; I really believe we're telling the story of the gospel again because, I think, adoption is a visible gospel. It's really a re-telling of what our story is of coming into God's family. (edit)
Steven: We have six kids, my wife and I. We have three biological and we adopted three little girls from China. And so we've got a 19-year-old college student all the way down to a two year old. We got driver's training, potty training, we got it all. (edit)
Steven: I love Christmas music and there's nothing like getting together with friends at Christmas time to celebrate with music the incredible reality of the Savior's birth. (edit)
