9. Book Review – The Advent Conspiracy

“This book lays out an incredible plan. Pastors Rick McKinley, Chris Seay, and Greg Holder describe how an incredible idea emerged from their frustration about pastoring people amidst the holiday season. They cast a vision before their communities – what if we became counter-cultural at Christmas time? What if we worshiped fully, spent less, gave more, and loved all?”

8. Communion and Stories

“For everyone who is a follower of Christ, for everyone who has put their faith in what Christ accomplished through the cross and the empty tomb, for everyone who have surrendered the life over to God, the celebration of communion is all about story. Communion is the re-enactment or the re-telling of our story. What Christ has done for us. How we who were far away found a way back to God. When Holy Spirit began to live within us. How our brokenness has been made whole.”

7. Rhythm, Sonority, and Silence or how to play with another great guitarist (Robert Payne)

“Because this great musical relationship exists at Crash, Danny and I are constantly creating space for one another. Submitting certain guitar parts for the sake of great musical balance. Sometimes Danny will play a smooth overdrive part and I will take a higher, shimmery part with a lot of sparkle and delay, or sometimes I will play a mean, low fuzz part and Danny will play a high compressed ebow part, each way, it equally attributes to the overall band’s musical expression and is equally cool in the process.”
