I was given the chance to minister in bars across New England. Each show, I shared my personal testimony about how Jesus saved my life from drug addiction and brought me to Teen Challenge. I would sing this song in honor of those who have died due to addiction. Singing is how I share hope.

This is Tried by Todd Galberth. I chose this song because the lyrics speak life to me and I had to share it. No matter who you are and no matter what you have done, God will never give up on you and He will never get tired of you. God loves you with your flaws and all. Don’t lose your pursuit of God!

To be honest, I chose this song because I believe it's the best song I've written. My friends have told me how much it speaks to them. It's encouraging that some have even been moved to tears. This song is inspired by the story in Matthew 14. Anxiety can be crippling. God's word breathes life.
