If you've been following my music for a while now, you know how long I've been working on this album. I'm not even telling the same story I wanted to tell when all of this started. The seasons have changed and I have an even better understanding of what it means to rise anew. For a couple years now, some of you have been asking me "how's the record coming along?" To you, I want to say thank you. Thank you for asking, thank you for caring, and thank you for waiting patiently. God has brought me through a series of valleys, with all the grace I need, and every shadow we passed He is using to make this album richer and more meaningful.

We are so close to the end. Rise Anew will be in your hands soon. God is redeeming this three-year struggle to bring himself glory, and I can't imagine a more perfect ending.
