We Cry Out

So here we are, I write you en route to the first show of the spring leg of the We Cry Out tour. It's good to be back on the bus with these folks. Hard to believe it's been about three and a half years since I played my first show with Franny, and it's been a great journey up to this point.

I write to ask you guys for prayer as we head into this string of shows. Booking wasn't easy this spring, and we didn't end up with as many shows as we had expected, but there will still be plenty of opportunities to minister and reach out to those in attendance. We've had a break since November, which gave me some really good down time, it gave me a chance to release my own record and do a bunch of writing. It was also great to be home more during the holiday season and enjoy that time of year thoroughly. The main prayer though, to get back to my point, for this tour is that I would be a good steward of what is in front of me. That all of us in the franny camp would truly use this opportunity to serve those around us. Not just the crew and the other people who we work with day in and day out, but all of the people whom we see night in and night out at these shows. Pray that we truly CONNECT with these people. It is extremely easy to get in to a routine, a touring rhythm that looks like your bunk, catering, backstage, on stage, the trailer, your bunk... repeat... But pray that we would break that rhythm as often as possible. Pray that we would not just take but seek out opportunities to be salt & light. There are going to be people every night, at every show, who need healing and a renewing hope found only in Jesus Christ. Pray that we would be a vehicle for that and that we can genuinely express that in the time that we have on stage and in all the moments in between.

More to come. Stay tuned.
