As we progress now through the 40 days of Lent, check out this video that we showed a couple years ago during an Ash Wednesday service. It’s a very well-done cartoon depiction of Christ’s 40 days in the wilderness:

Check out NewReleaseTuesday.com for an interview with Sojourn Worship & Arts Pastor Mike Cosper. They ask him all about the motivation and recording process for our latest worship record, Over The Grave. A sample quote from Pastor Mike, when asked about themes on the album: One reason we came to Watts is that his stuff has an aggressive tone. What I mean by aggressive is that he goes straight after challenging topics like sin, the devil and death. These are topics which are rich and constant throughout scripture but not necessarily part of the dialog in modern worship circles. I … Read Entire Post

My very good friend Tim Smith of Mars Hill Church asked me to join him in playing music for the conference, and told me we’d be joining … Read Entire Post
