“I think that's a challenge as believers - how do you demonstrate the gospel? How do you do that? I mean it's easy to talk about it and say 'Oh this is what we are supposed to be doing' and this is the relevance. But how do you do that with your hands instead of your mouth? How do you do it every day, instead of just onstage, how is it enacted? And I feel like that is one of the ways that we can show what we believe, by how we treat people around the world.” PeopleThinkingWorldWayFeelsBelieveMeanShowsHandsEasyChallengesMouthsTreatsBelieverAround The WorldSupposed To BeRelevance Author:Jon Foreman
“I think sometimes we can use spirituality as a vehicle to go closer to the things that frighten us and sometimes we can use it as a shield. I'm guilty of it too. I think spiritual words can do one or the other. Because when I hear people say, in a religion setting, 'Glory,' 'Praise the Lord,' 'Hallelujah,' but it doesn't mean anything, those are actually words that distance us from God, ironically enough.” PeopleThinkingMeanSometimesEnoughUseSpiritualSpiritualityCan DoLordGloryPraiseDistanceSettingSettingsGuiltyVehicleShieldsHallelujahPraise The Lord Author:Jon Foreman
“My faith, I mean, that's such a personal aspect that a lot of times, of course it's going to come out through the song. But at the same time, I'm not a religious salesman. I feel like God doesn't really need a salesman, and what these songs are are simply my interactions with this life and learning. I guess the bottom line is the songs are really honest, you know what I mean. That faith is going to come through. If the listener is looking for it, that's definitely a part of it.” IfsKnowsNeedsFeelsMeanSongCoursesReligiousLinesHonestAspectBottomThis LifeInteractionListenersBottom LineSalesman Author:Jon Foreman

“Entropy is one of the laws of thermodynamics. It's a physical law that says everything in nature is moving from order to disorder. In our lives this same principle is at work. As time moves on, things break down as we make mistakes. This is the 'letdown' every person experiences because of sin. For Christians this concept doesn't end there because we realize God's 'beautiful' mercy and grace restores the order in our lives.” PersonsEndsChristianBeautifulMovingLawOrderRealizingSinMistakePrinciplesBreakGraceOur LivesConceptsMercyMaking MistakesDisorderBreaking DownEntropyThermodynamicsWe Make MistakesLetdowns Author:Jon Foreman
“I’ve never used music to sell my faith and I’ve never used faith to sell my music. I think they are both intrinsic parts of who I am. We’ve always tried to define our music outside of genres…what is a genre?
