We made it through the first six shows of the west coast run, and finally had a day off here in Spokane. We’re still looking forward to the show here tomorrow. A lot of the tour folk have gone off exploring the malls, restaurants, and movie theaters. I think they were trying to find a scary movie for Halloween. I missed all that. I did go walk around Gonzaga. It’s really pretty out here.
We’ve had a great run so far. We started outside Kansas City, well an hour and a half outside KC, in Chillicothe. Great night with wonderful people. And they had this great bbq. No, not KC Masterpiece. It was called Wabash. Then we attempted to drive to Denver. Unfortunately, my bus didn’t quite make it. We had a blowout in the middle of KS. We made it eventually (5 hours late) and had an incredible night. Thanks to the tons of people who packed that place. And thanks to all our crew for setting up in record
time. We had another good night in Cheyenne. Great basketball game that day. Usually we play bball and everyone figures out that I’m not very good and kind of leaves me alone. But not in Wyoming. They knew who I was and they guarded me the whole game. All three games in fact. 3 games, 0 points. Oh well, it was still a good night. Then we pulled into Salt Lake City. It was our third time at that church. It was great to see the spiritual growth in that place. We had two shows in Montana: Missoula and Kalispell. We were excited to see people that we met on the BQ tour a couple of years ago. Both nights were wonderful.
This weekend we have two shows in Washington, one in Idaho, and one in Oregon. It should be great. I love this part of the country.
Hope to see you out there.

We loved your concert here in Kalispell, MT Your singing and testimony inspires my family daily. Thank you for taking the time to stop here in Montana.
Welcome to the great PNW! Too bad you’re not going to be over here on the west coast, would have loved to worship with you.
Todd – My son and I attended the concert in Spokane last night. My son is 11 and loves your music. He has not yet received the grace of the Lord Jesus and so I was very grateful for your message of promises. He enjoyed retelling your stories to me on the way home. I also greatly appreciated your transparency in dealing with sin, my life too more closely resembles Israel than David – thanks for the reminder that I have a substitute. Truly the time was used by God in my heart. Just one quibble – and I say this not just as a fan – I think your section of the concert is too short. I know being the man you are that you may feel it is arrogant to take a larger part of the time when you have other artists with you, and not take anything away from what they do – I feel you message and ministry resonate with God-wrought power and it felt cut short. I’m sure you have heard it before, because I thought it when I saw you one other time several years ago – so I’m sure you have weighed it out. But I really feel you should consider taking a little more time to deliver the message that God has so powerfully impressed on you. Thank you again for sharing you heart and ministry with us and for pointing steadfastly towards the grace that is found alone in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you for the great show. My Family had a great time. We will continue to pray for tour and your families. I know it can be hard on them and you guys to be away for a long period of time. But our God is faithful and wonderful to take care of all things.
In Christ

I was at your show in Kalispell and still can’t stop talking about it. Your music is fantastic, but your humbleness is remarkable. I love your honesty and sincerity. You relate His message in such a powerful way that it really left me wanting more. Thank you for coming to our town and worshiping with us! God is using you in amazing ways! Blessings, Jennifer
Thanks for stopping in Bend. Great music from all involved, and a great word………..
growing in grace,

I took my kids to the show in Spokane on Thursday and had to leave early so they could get to bed for school. I was so motivated by the show that I decided to catch up with you all again in the Tri-Cities on Friday. What a great time of worship. Thank you so much for giving us excellent music and for your “versions” of stories from the bible. My 9 year old keeps talking about Adam and the apple. Take care and God’s Blessings to you all!
Rather than track down that blog of yours where you ask people to post their ideas for future blogs…I’m putting one here, just call it laziness.
The idea of knowing God and God knowing us. He absolutely must know us, because He’s omnipotent. So what does Jesus mean in Matthew 7:23 when He said “Then I will tell them plainly I never knew you. Away from me you evildoers.” Someone recently said something that made me wonder about this one.
You have a great and most blessed day!!! I’m praying for you all. Tess
Glad you are having such a great tour so far. We so much look for ward to your testimony and invitation as only you can do.
Sorry, it was early when I posted the above; I put down the wrong omni. It’s supposed to be omniscient. Now I feel better.
Your message and music spoke to me while you were here in Kalispell, MT. I greatly respect your humility and honesty…I believe that speaks more to those who are thirsty, like me, and allows me to feel Christs love even more because we are honest and real at this feet. You started the show with a song, began solo voice and the song had a very cool groove for the chorus. What was the name of the song and what album is it on? Bless you, brother!
