Friends, sexual immorality is so often what we believers focus on. But it is NOT the only sin that grieves the heart of God, fractures our own soul, and desecrates our witness (though many Christians prove hypocritical there too). Jesus placed the gravity of our words unto others right alongside the gravity of our wandering eyes, and His brother’s epistle slams home the same point.

Holiness is so, so much more than what we’ve publicly limited it to.

I literally saw a reel where people play a game of seeing how long it takes to find a hateful comment on IG and trace it back to a bio that includes Christ or Scripture.
Comments on that video said “there is no hate like Christian love.” That rips my heart out, in sadness and anger. Because I know what true Christian love looks like—I’ve received and shared it my whole life—but that is not how the world looks at us right now. Yet it’s literally what His word says we will and should be known by.

If we feel justified in speaking cruelly or callously in the name of a “righteous cause,” we’ve already lost the plot.

The One Ring. in LOTR is not analogous to any one thing, but one of its most piercing notions is the seduction of ends justifying means. Of using a weapon of darkness in the name of good.

I have a prayer that I would love us to meditate on together this coming week. It is the words in 1 Cor 13, that follow Paul saying “and now I will show you a more excellent way…”

Show alert! I’ll be joining for a solo show hosted by Saturday, Mar 7, at KGF Church in Kelowna. Tickets available at my bio or you can snag em from the QR :) see you there 🫰

I think I first listened to the Worship Artistry podcast back in 2016? Just had a convo with them, and it was an absolute blast.

Hope you enjoy 🫰

Happy New Year! As we start 2026 I made a couple playlists to give you substance + vibes unto Jesus heading into this new year.

Check out my stories to snag em, or if they expire (or you’re an Apple Music user like me), comment and I’ll dm them to you (me, not a robot. Keep it human y’all).

Featuring a whole host of artists I love. Support independent music in 2026 🫶

Cannot WAIT to share the new record. You don’t even know 😭

Time has moved strangely the past six months, I honestly forgot so much of what’s happened this year.

It’s been a strange one, a beautiful one, a hard one, a mingled one.

I feel like going into each new year I’m often too spent to really think about what lays ahead. But this year it feels like there’s a quiet intention as Kait and I step in.

Thank you all for being here 🫶 here’s to a beautiful, intentional 2026 🍾

Gifts of men from distant lands
Prophesy the story
Gold, a King is born today
Incense, God is with us
Myrrh, His death will make a way
And by His blood He’ll win us

Merry Christmas from the Leventhals 🎄✨

Last Sunday, a week ago, was my last on staff at . They were so kind in their honouring of me and Kaitlyn; both the staff as well as my volunteer team. I feel love and loved, profoundly grateful for years of ministry and people I’ve done it alongside.

Today was the first time I’ve walked into church with .artist while not on staff elsewhere, to simply attend and be among saints, to be ministered to without position of formal leadership. Liturgy literally means the work of the people, and that was reflected in full this morning.

I’ve come into these new days off the heels of the last six months, balancing local ministry with both national and international tours, speaking at conferences, preparing and releasing new music. Consequently, I’m far from having processed all that lays both behind and ahead. But in a season of Advent—unmarked for the first time in many years by the scramble of Christmas Eve planning of services and banquets—I am slowly looking around, quieting my heart, checking my pulse. Dreaming. I’m in no way leaving ministry; I’m simply no longer on a church staff. I find myself following Mary’s footsteps, treasuring all these things in the heart.

Tomorrow we fly to Michigan to be with family for Christmas. The first time Kait and I will have ever simply woken up both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to simply be together. And my soul has slowed enough to treasure that.

I’m gonna be honest—it’s been a weird year. It continues to be. I find my relationship to the internet and its derivatives more complicated than ever. I debated if I want to even share this.

But ultimately I just want to thank you all for listening, and letting what I make be a part of your lives and Communion. The phrase I come back to time and again is sacredly grateful.

A lot of new music to share next year. I cannot wait.

Love you all
