On Being an Artist Partner with Arocha

"God's wisdom is displayed all throughout creation, and I believe that as we experience creation it is a way that we can better experience God."

As an artist partner with Arocha USA, a faith based environmental organization whose mission is to 'restore people and places', I've enjoyed collaborating with other artists to write songs that encourages stewarding and savoring our majestic planet. 

Collectively there are now 2 volumes of songs available. From Smallest Seed: Volume I and Together in the Harvest: Volume II. 

I co-wrote All Ye Refugees with Flo Oakes and Chelsey Scott on volume I. Sandra McCracken later recorded this song on her Psalms album which went to no. 1 on iTunes. 

On volume II, I co-wrote Eden’s Dream with Ben Shive and Sara Masen Dark. Additionally, I co-wrote the title track, Together in the Harvest with Sandra McCracken and Tiffany Thompson. It’s been a joy to work alongside these talented artists.

I encourage you to support Arocha and the important work they are doing! You can learn more about their work here and read more about the songwriting retreats here.

Other artists featured on the Arocha Arts projects are Sara Groves, Audrey Assad, Jill Phillips, Andy Gullahorn, Don and Lori Chaffer, Matthew Smith, Latifah Phillips, Buddy Greene and more! Check out the music today - you’ll be glad you did!

After you watch this video (and share it with your friends) - put away your phone, go outside and enjoy! (That's what I'm doing next : )

P.S. The song featured in the video is Quiet, Quiet (instrumental) from my newest studio album: Wild Love.
