You know, Grace is a funny thing; it’s the one thing that SO MANY have been recipients of, yet SO MANY refuse to give it in return. That’s right: I said refuse. Whether it’s out of the general type of ignorance or the willful kind, a people who have been gifted the access to discern things that lie beneath the surface have been content to accept what we’re handed at face-value as actual value, ignoring the fact no matter how egregious the snapshot, there’s usually more to the

Where there is no vision, the people perish…Pro.29:18a I find myself using the following analogy often, and it came up in a conversation with a husband concerning his marriage and its state just recently: in today’s microwave-everything society, we like our relationships the same way, and if they’re not ready-made and only need to be heated up, we don’t want them. We don’t do ‘from scratch’ anymore. Suffice to say, this is a sobering reality for not just marriages but for any

What’s in a Song? Truth be told, the many of the same things that are in relationships: Good Timing – There used to be a time where songs, and songwriting, followed particular time signatures; 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, etc. Today’s music, however, benefits from the lack of necessity of making the song fit the timing, but making the timing fit the song. We’ve become more intentional about getting our points across, musically, and doing so by presenting our original pieces unaltered and a

LOVE is patient, LOVE is kind, LOVE is conditional…wait, what???!!! LOVE, the GOD-type, seems to be one of the biggest misunderstood entities in life, and in Salvation, as well.

It becomes how we measure and equate, and so anything that doesn’t line up with what our learned idea of what love is gets disregarded and disavowed. Ma

The Gas Money Tour is the brainchild of one of my closest brothers in the LORD, Anthony ‘Tony WHOA!” Wallace, who due to the what is now problematic disconnect between artists and churches, ministers and venues, monies and motives, was moved upon by the HOLY GHOST to offer a solution to the issue of quality vs. quantity, ministry vs. entertai For info on how to book The Gas Money Tour, please e-mail: info@5theyemusic KD #yieldedmusic #christianity #music #christian #christian

KNOW Justice, KNOW Peace It’s unfortunate that those who find themselves shocked and awed by the events that are shaping today’s perspective of humanity, those who claim to be “woke”, can’t even rattle off the numbers of deaths and tragedies we are left to cope with without a little help from Google or social media. Our manufactured rage reaches about as far as our research takes us, which only lends more credence to the fallible fact that just because there’s more informatio

The Seed of Relationship (Friends: How Many Of Us Have Them??? How Many Of Us Are Them???) Something pierced me in the heart the other day concerning someone I KNOW to be giving and encouraging and supportive; that out of all their years building and creating opportunity for, working for and alongside so many different artists and venues, I was the only artist that had been a friend to them.  Some people with pride would have taken that revelation and slept well; it bothered
