Favorite Solo Song:
"Inside of You" - "Shake"
Album
Because: "It's one of the songs I'm most proud of in
all my career - secular or Christian. I wrote just a little
part of this song, but it hit so well what I wanted to say:
that is, we as the body of Christ - we human beings - were
given a plan before the beginning of time. God had each one
of us designed to be winners - not losers, not perhaps
maybes, hoping we're gonna make it - but winners, if we have
the guts to follow God's plan. We're already built to be
winners - we follow that plan - we win. We have everything
we need already inside of us."
Favorite Petra Song:
"No Doubt" - "No Doubt"
Album
Because: "This song has
probably become an underground classic for Petra; it's the
title cut off of one of our albums. It's just a statement
that says, 'Hey!' When fear starts getting to you - you just
let it go, because with Jesus Christ there is no doubt about
His love, there's no doubt about His promise, there's no
doubt about His existence with you."
