THE NEW ALBUM
Since January of 2024, I’ve been writing songs that chronicle the ministry of Jesus, from John the Baptist’s proclamation “Behold the Lamb of God…” to Peter’s Confession “You’re the Messiah…”. From the calming of the Sea of Galilee: “Peace, be still” to the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem: “Blessed is He Who comes…” The Last Supper, Death, Resurrection, and impending Return: these songs focus on The Kingdom of Heaven at hand!
Six songs have been released since March 2025, and I’m currently in the Studio recording a song based on John 21! (See below…)
writing “Tiberius Sea” with my friend Jason Gray
#7 TIBERIUS SEA
I’m in the Studio again this month recording Song #7 for the album!
I wanted to write about Jesus’ third encounter with the disciples after His Resurrection, as told by John in chapter 21 of his Gospel. So, I called one of my dearest friends, Jason Gray, who has a beautiful way of telling stories in song.
We had such fun referencing all the details found in the Gospel: catching 153 fish, swimming 100 yards to shore, Jesus preparing breakfast on the beach - grilled fish and bread…
My friend Seth Postell points out that the charcoal fire mentioned in this story is found only one other place in the New Testament - a few chapters earlier when Peter denied knowing Jesus, while standing next to - you guessed it - a charcoal fire. How kind of Jesus to replace Peter’s memory, his sensory connections to a charcoal fire, with something new and redemptive!
“This time a charcoal fire meant the chance to start again.”
I can’t wait to share this song with my Early Access Supporters as soon as possible! Thank you for your faithful support!
