Mountains. Waterfalls. Rivers. Campfires. Sunrises. 4 women. A drone and a mini-van. These are the makings of the "Find You Here" music video.

If you haven’t already, you can pre-order the record on iTunes this week & get an immediate download of the song I’m writing about today, “Marvelous Light”…

I’ll never forget the call. I was being asked to join Andrew Peterson’s Behold the Lamb of God tour as their special guest. Did they have the right number!?!
