Timothy Holmes

"I humbly believe that the songs we sing in worship have deep impacts on our understanding...the gems of these three songs give us language around Jesus’ great commandment, posturing us to better love God with our mind, heart, soul, and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves."

I was 12 years old, standing in a public park, watching a Christian hip-hop group, Truce, perform. Three songs, a testimony, and a call to faith. That’s the format in which I first heard the gospel. Since that day, music has been deeply a part of my discipleship. I would identify myself as a musichead.

When I am healthy, I find that I am not only able to remain faithful to the people and communities around me, but I am also able to easily build trust that pushes the whole team/community forward.
