One of the coolest parts about participating in this crazy musical journey (getting signed, releasing albums, participating in events) is that I get to meet tremendously gifted individuals.

If I were to ask you to conjure up in your imagination your version of "the east" I might get a different response depending on who you are. Some of my chinese friends might speak of their origins in the "far east". My baltic friends might mention the eastern block. To me, the first thing that pops to the front of my thoughts is Canada's east coast.

Ahhh, the maritimes. There's nothing like the salt air and constant breeze of the east coast. If you've never been to any of the maritime provinces in Canada, you owe it to yourself to make the trip. There's a tangible difference in the way people interact here. The speediness of city life gives way to a much broader stroke of the brush. In this particular instant, Halifax Nova-Scotia is our stop - and we'll be here a few extra days to take in the sights and sounds of the ocean with close friends who have moved here recently.

I have a fondness for the east as this is where I decided life could no ... Read More »

Last week I had the opportunity to travel back to my home town of Espanola, Ontario, to do a concert for the towns 50th anniversary and to play at the Light House church.  I had such an incredible time celebrating with the people of Espanola, my band and with all of my family members that travelled back for the town's celebration. I rarely get to see my family. I get to travel around a lot with music and my facebook business, but I do miss my family a lot. I have a large family. 6 brothers, 4 sisters, 2 parents, 18 nieces and nephews (and counting)  :)  And although we're spread out geographically, I always relish the times we have together. I guess I feel like God has knit us together. Made of the same fabric - sometimes running in different directions, but always from the same roll. Every time I leave Espanola, I feel like I haven't done enough to let people there know just how much I've appreciated them. When you grow up, you're bound to make mistakes. Life doesn't happe Read More »

Michelle (my wife) and I were recently in New York City working with Leslie and Brad Taylor of Big Machine Media on a press day with several different websites/services/outlets. One thing that blew me away was the openness of mainstream media to communicate so openly with me about my journey with Jesus. It’s pretty amazing. I didn’t need to be defensive. I didn’t have to hide what I believe. I didn’t have to put my guard up. I just spoke about my walk and how Jesus is impacting me and my art. I talked about how natural it is to have someone you’re committed to, who’s part of your daily life, affect the way you write and think and love. Isn’t it amazing to think that we have a part to play in the lives of those around us who may or may not know Jesus, and that we’d be his light in their lives? It blows me away. Michelle and I had a blast, (although we’re tired), and are looking forward to a long and winding road.

Church this week was one of those awesome God moments where I caught a fresh glimpse of what the Kingdom looks like as it's worked out among us.

As you know my husband Alan and I pastor the Causeway Coast Vineyard here on the North coast of Ireland. It's such a privilege! I love living my faith out with a community of people around me who challenge and encourage me. We are real people trying to figure out a real faith in the face of the hard stuff of life – just like you ☺

On Sunday, Alan was talking about money. He was reminding us that when we have something, the idea is that we share it with others that don't have enough. He reminded us that WE are often the answer to someone else's prayer.

At the end of the service he invited anyone up to the front who was in serious debt.

No one moved.

After a few moments, he made the invitation ag ... Read More »

Just say ’no’

I get asked all the time about this – how do you balance being a Mum, a pastor’s wife, a songwriter, and a worship leader both at home and away.  I smile, and then think for a moment about all the parts of my life that are full and at times a little crazy.  The truth is that thanks to a very sensible husband, I’ve learned to say no to a lot of what I’m asked to do.  What we need in life is a ’balance buddy’ – someone who loves us and understands what we are called to do, yet won’t shy away from telling us to stop and reassess where we are at periodically.  I wouldn’t even know where to begin without the wisdom of my husband.

These are the questions we always ask when we’re approached to take something on – is this a good thing to do right now for our family first; next does it work for our church; and thirdly do we sense this is something that’s just part of what w ... Read More »

I'm at a wonderful conference just now - Break Forth Canada in Edmonton, AB.

It's so exciting to be here - I love this side of what I do too!!!

I'm here to do a little teaching, and to lead some worship - along with some fantastic others - people like Paul Baloche, Robin Mark, MercyMe, Third Day, and many more!!!

If you live in the area and you would love to spend some time connecting with God along with several thousand others - please come along - it's at the Shaw conference centre in Edmonton. I think you'll love it!

Conferences can be the most wonderful way to 'refuel' and 'refocus' - there's something that happens when we get together as church, and as the wider church - that does our hearts good - helping us to remember just how huge God is, and how incredible He is!

Then of course, there is the wonder of going home again at the end ... Read More »

Last week was a powerful time at the Generation Church youth conference. We were there with Pastors Judah and Chelsea Smith along with my brother Joel, Chris Caine from Hillsong Church, and Pastor Benny Perez. The last night of the conference was absolut ... Read More »
