"More Than Noise" In A Small Town...

"More Than Noise" in a small town...

After almost a year and a half of working on it, the new Pocket album "More Than Noise" came out two weeks ago. The anticipation of getting to share these new songs with all of you has been crazy! There were over 50 songs written for this project, and then a whole lot of prayer and consideration as to which 11 made the final cut. Interestingly enough though, it might surprise you to know just how much work and thought went into what we would actually title this album, and obviously "More Than Noise" was the winner.

And God Bless Texarkana!

An Exciting Day

In spite of the gray snowy morning, today is an exciting day...because today is the official release date of our new album "More Than Noise"! It's taken awhile to finish, but I can say without apology that this is my favorite project to date! From the writing of the songs, to the guys doing what they do best in the studio, this has been an amazing journey. Our incredible friends at Word Records and our Producer Ed Cash gave invaluable energy and creativity to this process...we just cant say "thanks" enough! Of course at the end of the day, prayer is what makes everything work...and so now we are asking you to pray with us that this project would be a blessing to the broken hearted and a true offering of worship to our King.

The Blessing of Brotherhood

So I had a long ride back from Arkansas in the "Pocket" van today. And from my bouncy perch on the very back seat I stared at the back of three heads for nine hours. Funny now that I'm thinking about it, but on these longer van trips I see much more of the back of Ryan, Jody, and David’s heads than I do their faces. But it’s what we do...what we have done for 14 years.

Though today, I was struck yet again with the depth of brotherhood I feel with these guys. Like any relationship we have had our moments...those times when you really want to give up in the struggle for maintaining relationships. But thanks to strong families, strong churches, and amazing pastoral guidance, our victories have far outweighed our mess, and somehow God keeps finding ways to let us be a part of what He is doing.

Slow Down And Change The World

Last week we had the opportunity to hang out with the incredible people at KLOVE and Air1. And I honestly cannot exaggerate the emphasis on the "incredible people" part. With every person we met, there was a growing sense of the value they place on the ministry aspect of their jobs. I was humbled and amazed as I heard Scott, Kerri, and Ashton share stories of people they have been able to talk and pray with...and would eventually find myself deeply moved when given the opportunity to pray for some of these people myself.

wanting the eyes and ears from the father to not see physically but spiritually is an absolute must for all Christians that follow Christ.

The leading of the Holy Spirit is how we can see spirituall and hear spiritually to what God has for us and wants us to do. Peace

A "Pocket Full Of Rocks" State of The Band...sort of!!!

It's kind of crazy to me when I think about it being over two years since the last Pocket Full Of Rocks CD release. On the one hand, it seems like just yesterday we were crammed in a van for weeks doing a CD release run for "Manifesto". But then on the other hand, I think about seeing the same set list for the last year, and anxiously awaiting the day we would start throwing in some new stuff...(the whole band says "amen" at this point). Well, it is FINALLY complete! After a year of writing with some of the greatest writers anywhere, which by the way turned out some 50 songs as possibles for this project, the final 11 songs have been picked and recorded, and we now eagerly await the coming of March 2010 to share our latest album "More Than Noise" with all with you!
