I am the husband of one and the homeschooling father of five. I am a singer, songwriter, and a worship leader who plays guitar and piano. I am the Executive Director of Trinity Arts Center, a small Christian Arts Academy in Eastern Tennessee. I'm also a guitar teacher and -- I spend about half my time building web sites and helping companies organize their thoughts, fine tune their products, and turn their customers into company evangelists. I've been involved with four music projects in my life -- Hot Pink Turtle, Spin Radio, Stand Like Stone, and of course, Jamin Rathbun. I'm also training to be an Ultimate Fighter (that's not true). = )

Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Psalm 19:14
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

musicRedemption Songs
Jars Of Clay released a great album in early 2005 that includes one of my favorite songs of last year -- "God Will Lift Up Your Head." It's probably not the kind of song that you'd bring to your corporate worship but -- it's a great song.

Despite containing primarily hymns, it's hard to call this album a "worship" album. Old standards like "I Need Thee Every Hour", "I'll Fly Away", "Nothing But The Blood", and "It Is Well With My Soul" pay tribute to the songs I was raised on but -- they are delivered with such a different flavor, that it's hard to still classify them as hymns.
That isn't to say that they are bad by any means. This album has a certain authenticity that is really appealing. The recording has a very raw vibe to it, feeling very warm and intimate and comfortable and familar. In most cases, the guys do a great job of bringing new life to songs that a lot of Christians in this generation haven't been exposed to. The album, as a whole, is a great body of work and well worth the $12-15 to pick it up (or $9.99 download on iTunes). = )
