From Imposter Syndrome to Finding Worship in My Work
Part 1: I Wasn’t Good Enough. They Let Me In Anyway. I started playing with Third Day when I was 16 years old. At the time, I was a million times more passionate about being in a band than I was about developing real discipline on my instrument. I played bass mostly on instinct.

I had some natural ability, but my extroverted nature pulled me toward collaboration long before it pushed me toward mastery. Most of my early development happened in the trenches of my youth group band,…

As a lifelong fan, there’s something powerful about sitting across from Point of Grace in this season of their lives. Not because they’re trying to prove anything. Not because they’re chasing what once was. But because, after decades of music, ministry, motherhood, and life, they’re finally saying exactly what they were meant to say all along. And they’re doing it together. After 14 years they have returned with a new album of original songs, Lady Wisdom, “It’s kind of special for us” says Shelley Breen. “it’s been a long time.” Denise Jones gently corrects the narrative. “But I think that’s the funny thing.

Third Day Tour Review: ALL HITS, NO MISSES
I’m typically protective of what would be considered spoiler territory, but given that Third Day has advertised this tour as “all the hits,” there’s really not much to spoil from a setlist perspective. And honestly, that’s a good thing. My family and I were able to attend the April 10 show in Chicago, Illinois, not our typical stomping grounds, but we already had a trip booked and Third Day just happened to be playing. The entrance lines were long and the vibe in the arena was electric. The crowd full of elder millennials were singing along to classic CCM blasting over the speakers. We’re not just talking about the heavy hitters. Of…
