My Grandfather Was A Pentecostal Preacher.

The People At The Record Company Had Asked Me If I Could Write A Song About My Life, My Relationship With God, And Where I'm From. Well, I Can't Write A Song On Purpose, My Songs Come In A Moment Of Inspiration Or Desperation.

I've Had A Pretty Crazy Life. It's Colorful ... Reliving Some Of Those Closets That I Had Shut, Locked And Thrown Away The Key Intentionally Because It Was Painful To Revisit A Lot Of Those Places - Especially The Loss Of My Buddy Robbie Tooley, The Divorce Of My Parents, Some Of The Things I Went Through As A Kid, A Lot Of That Stuff Was Locked Up For A Reason - It Was Painful. But At The Same Time, There Was Some Therapy In Revisiting Some Of Those Spots.

If You're Going To Stand Up For Jesus, Your Life Will Be A Battle Between Light And Darkness. And For Everything That God Will Bring Into Your Life That Represents The Light, The Devil-he's Such A Sly Fox-will Come At You With Two Times More Attributes Of Evil.

My Grandfather Was A Pentecostal Preacher.

Well, I've Never Left My Faith - But Have I Made A Lot Of Mistakes? But Was I Fortunate That I Was Brought Up In That Pentecostal Church, Where I Heard About God's Love And God's Forgiveness.
