God’s stories are rarely short — and mine is still being written.
A couple of years ago, everything began rather unexpectedly. One early morning, I woke up with a song playing loudly in my head — so vivid and persistent that I got up, sat down, and wrote the lyrics before they slipped away. I’m not musical. I’ve never been a songwriter. But I knew something divine had stirred.
A few months later, while I was traveling for work, my wife Kim surprised me. She had taken those lyrics and fed them into an AI music tool — something she’d never done before. What came back was both hilarious and miraculous: music that brought those words to life. We refined it, and that song became Highway to Freedom. We shared it with friends and family to the point of exhaustion, but it was special. Looking back now, it’s clear — that was the beginning of something only God could orchestrate.
In the months that followed, the moments multiplied. Sometimes during prayer, sometimes while running, sometimes during quiet reflection — new lyrics would arrive. Not ideas I chased, but words I received. God would drop phrases, choruses, and full verses into my mind, often connected to Scripture or something I had just heard in a sermon.
One Sunday at Seacoast Church, during a message called Build Different, Pastor Josh Surratt spoke about Daniel’s courage to stand up and stand with God. As he preached, lyrics began forming in my heart right there in the sanctuary. By the time I reached my car, I was writing them down. That same day, the song Stand Like Daniel was born — and with a few AI tools, the music came to life within hours.
Since then, God and I have co-written over two dozen songs — He provides, I write — turning divine inspiration into melodies that people around the world can hear. The songs vary in style, but all carry one thread: faith, hope, and the message of Christ. I’m now preparing to publish and distribute them so they can live beyond my notes — through Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, and beyond.
The Vision: From Sermons to Songs to Cross Over
Sermons to Songs began with one goal: to take messages inspired by God and transform them into songs that move people’s hearts. But the vision has grown.
This movement is not limited to traditional worship — it’s about crossing over into every genre and space where truth can travel. God’s Word doesn’t fit inside categories. It’s not limited to Gospel, Christian, or worship — it speaks through stories, rhythm, emotion, and creativity.
That’s why we’re expanding Sermons to Songs into the Cross Over vision — music that fuses faith with real-life expression, transcending genre lines so that more people can hear messages of hope, love, and purpose in the language they understand best.
Because God’s reach is not limited by style — it’s multiplied by story.
And as this story continues, my prayer is simple:
That every listener — no matter their background — would feel something divine stirring within them, the same way I did that morning when God placed a song in my heart.
This is only the beginning.
The story — His story — continues to be written, one song at a time.
