The more I create music and chase the high I get from it, the more I realize the worst thing you can do is become a prisoner of your own style. To do so places you under a tyranny of self-dependency to ultimately sustain yourself which is impossible, and without innovation or regeneration, artistry becomes a black hole — joyless and insipid.
I’m learning to tear down and deconstruct everything I...
WatchHi, I’m Adam Young and this is a heel flip.
You do not lose your own personality when by faith you take your place with Christ in death. On the contrary, a transformation takes place within your personality. You simply come under new management.
“Therefore if any person is ingrafted in Christ, he is a new creation; the old, previous moral and spiritual condition has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come.” 2 Cor...

Wow. Tonight was the kind of night you remind yourself to soak it up — the vivid colors, raw energy, and waves of emotion, because you’ll want to savor them when they’re gone. I’m so honored to be here, so blessed to know the people around me, and so thrilled to live by the grace I’ve been given. I feel undeserving to know I’m part of a plan that’s so much bigger than I am and it’s truly...

The itch of self-regard craves the scratch of self-approval. That is, if we are getting our pleasure from feeling self-sufficient, we will not be satisfied without others seeing and applauding our self-sufficiency.
This is ironic. Self-sufficiency should free the proud person from the need to be made much of by others. That’s what sufficient means. But evidently there is a void in this so-called...

“I Am Who I Am” by John Piper, September 8th, 2012
1. God’s absolute being means he never had a beginning. This staggers the mind. Every child asks, “Who made God?” And every wise parent says, “Nobody made God. God simply is. And always was. No beginning.”
2. God’s absolute being means God will never end....

01. Grab a mirror and look into it. 02. See yourself and realize how legit you are. 03. Punch the mirror and smash it because you’re that cool. 04. Listen to the Rocky soundtrack. 05. Get pumped. 07. Do push ups. 08. Realize I skipped step 6. 09. You just checked. 10. Now you’re smiling. 11. You’re smiling even bigger now.
Oh, excuse me waiter? Yeah hi, we’re ready to order now.
Okay, my beautiful girlfriend here will have the bok choy with oyster sauce and fried garlic. That’s gluten free, correct? Great thanks.
Do you have basil eggplant by chance? No? Hey no problem.
And then I’ll just have the thai herb-marinated sirloin steak with coconut-ginger pepper sauce served with steamed string...
Okay can I just say something about Texas?
I like Texas. No I love Texas. I could live in Texas. I bet the guy who bought my first car is still finding empty cans of jerky chew under the seats. Texas is amazing. Texas makes coffee nervous. Texas blows my mind out of my head. Texas is a lone reed standing tall in the corrupt sands of commerce. You are so lucky. Do you want some popcorn?
Yup.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In God’s great mercy he has caused us to be born again into a living hope because Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Now we hope for the blessings God has for his children. These blessings, which cannot be destroyed or be spoiled or lose their beauty, are kept in heaven for you. God’s power protects you through your faith until...
WOW. You know that feeling when you’re working on something and it’s turning out above and beyond what you anticipated and you can barely sit still because you know you’ve got something special and you’re at the part where there’s a lot of work left to be done but you just KNOW everything is gonna turn out perfect??? I get my high off of that feeling. I basically live...
