the Insanity of God

After reading "The Insanity of God" by Nik Ripken, I co-wrote songs inspired by stories of persecuted believers that became "The Insanity of God" album.  I hope these songs bring awareness to the persecuted church worldwide, and help encourage others to be more intentional in their faith both locally and around the world.

The Purpose for 
The Insanity of God Album
"Pray for our persecutors.   Don't pray that we will be safe.   Don't pray that we will get out of prison,   but pray that we will stay true to the name of Jesus  ( even if it costs us our lives). "

This album was never supposed to happen!  I was asked to sing one or two songs for a documentary about the persecuted church based on Nik Ripken's book "The Insanity of God."  I was so moved after reading the book I had to respond.  The best way I knew was to write songs based on these inspiring stories.  2 songs turned into 8, and along the way I invited several friends to take part in it.  

I hope and pray many things come out of this project, but two in particular: 

1. That these songs will encourage you to be more intentional in your faith, especially in your local community.  

2. To bring awareness to the persecuted church, and to know how to pray for them.  In John 15 Jesus promised that persecution would be a normal part of His follower's lives. Many of those being persecuted have asked us to pray this way: "Pray for our persecutors (that they will come to know Jesus through our suffering).  Don't pray that we will be safe.  Don't pray that we will get out of prison, but pray that we will stay true to the name of Jesus (even if it costs us our lives)."  

God uses persecution and suffering to bring glory to Himself.
Become more involved with persecuted believers around the world
