I believe music is such a powerful way to minister to our hearts and enable us to come before the throne of God. Many people and groups are gifted to bring us to that place. The Katinas are such a group. I had the opportunity to minister with them at the Calvary Chapel Chino Men’s [...]
I give my testimony to young people all over the country. I have a real heart for those who are locked-up. Why? Because they could have been me. Did you know that 85% of the kids in juvenile detention facilities are boys? So inevitably most of our ministry is focused on reaching out to these [...]

Let me tell you about a close friend of ours who we’ve known for over 10 years. He was a statistic who should not have made it. His trouble with the law started at the age of 7. He eventually was abandoned by his mom, put into foster care, abused, kidnapped and incarcerated for attempted [...]
