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

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.

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.

The Roar of Heaven, a devotional thought

In Revelation 19:6, John the Seer is overhearing the praise of God in Heaven, and he says, “I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty thunder, saying Hallelujah! For the Lord God Almighty reigns.”

It’s a vivid image when you think about it. The loudest crowd I’ve ever been in was probably the time I saw team Canada play team Brazil in an exhibition soccer game in Edmonton. Canada only scored one goal against the Brazilians, but when they did the 20,000+ packed stadium erupted. It was exhilarating. Makes me wonder what the roar of the crowd in heaven really will be like when we hear it, when the literally billions of men, women and children who have put their faith in him roar in one voice with the praises of the Lamb.

Somehow, “the sound of many waters” seems like an understatement.
