There's a Trick of the Light I'm Learning to Do

This is a collection of songs I wrote and recorded in January - March, 2020 while on sabbatical from ministry. They each deal with a different aspect or expression of the Gospel. Click on the image above to listen.

Three Hands Clapping

This is my latest recording project (released May 27, 2019). It is a double album of 22 songs, which very roughly track the story of my life... a sort of musical autobiography, so to speak. Click the album image to listen.

Ghost Notes

Ghost Notes
A collections of original songs I wrote in 2015, and recorded with the FreeWay Musical Collective. Click the album image to listen.

inversions

Recorded in 2014, these songs are sort of a chronicle of my journey through a pastoral burn-out last winter. They deal with themes of mental-health, spiritual burn-out and depression, but also with the inexorable presence of God in the midst of darkness. Click the album art to download.

"Bridges" is a collection of original songs I wrote in the summer of 2011, during a soul-searching trip I took out to Alberta; a sort of long twilight in the dark night of the soul. I share it here in hopes these musical reflections on my own spiritual journey might be an encouragement to others: the sun does rise, blood-red but beautiful.

Dancing with the (Saskatchewan) Wind

I'll be orbiting the outer reaches of the blog-o-sphere for the next little while, with light posting ahead, as I'm leaving this afternoon for a trip to that most enviable of vacation hotspots-- Saskatchewan in January! My wife is taking a course at Briercrest Seminary (Pauline Epistles) and I get to tag along. Nothing says "Pastor's vacation" like a week at a biblical seminary in the middle of the prairies in the depths of winter, with nothing to do but hang out in the library, visit with bible-scholar types, maybe eaves-drop on a lecture about Paul or two, and generally spiritually de-compress. I wish I could bring you all along.


I'll be back in a week or so, but in the meantime, I thought I'd post this song, in honour of my trip. I wrote it a number of years ago for my daughters, when I was still living in Saskatchewan and wondering what God's future held for us. It's about growing up, and growing up, especially, on the prairies. Enjoy.
