I’m a vocalist; the music underneath is electronic. Every song I put out is meant to move somebody toward a kid who needs them. Here’s all of it, plus the book and the talks.
Written from the perspective of a kid in foster care: the duffel bag, the caseworker’s back seat, the house you’ve never seen until tonight. Funded by strangers on a livestream, filmed with a professional crew, real actors and a small Iowa town full of volunteers.
“I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I’m just trying to get home to you.”
Agencies use it to recruit foster parents. It’s free to them, forever. If you work with one, send it.
“You will give a spark to ignite a fire that will light the way.”
Written with a friend. The words, the melody and the chords are done; production is next, with a producer this time instead of me. It’s about the thing every foster parent signs up for: breaking your heart open on purpose, and then doing it again.
Porch Light supporters get new songs before anyone else. The Crew gets the rough mixes, and their names in the credits of every song and full video I release. It’s how the music gets made without a label telling me what it should say.
A story of obedience, loss, and learning to trust God. The tug toward foster care, the boy who left, and the question I couldn’t stop asking. It ends on a cliffhanger I didn’t know the answer to when I wrote it. I do now.

Don’t give me money you shouldn’t be giving. If a light costs you groceries, keep the groceries. I mean that.
Every dollar funds the music, the videos, the streams and this community. It never funds my ability to foster.
