Quotes from Michael Gungor

To me, God is the basic Reality of the universe. God is what is. That's how Moses wrote that God introduced Himself, isn't it? "I am that I am." God is. Whatever is, that is God.

The whole idea of worship being associated with music, it gives you an impotence to make art that is true, that is honest and that opens the human heart to God and to reality.

You don't have to be afraid, even death itself does not have power. In Christ, everything is becoming new, everything is different.

Any religious, philosophical or political idea that doesn't lead one towards love ought to be forsaken

Money is not the root of all kinds of evil. The love of money is. It's also the root of a lot of bad art.

When I think of Spirit, I think of that mysterious force that pulls us into being, into becoming, into love. That can get political rather quickly.

Art, along with all work is the ordering of creation toward the intention of the creator.

It's hard to make a living in music, so a lot of times in the arts it's safer to kind of fit into a box.

The danger of art created to rise above the noise is that it may end up being noise itself.

The person who creates from the noise simply adds to the noise. The person who creates from a place of listening, however, can actually make something worthwhile and enjoy his work in the process.

Faith comes from listening to the right stories.
