Christmas 2025. One I’ll carry with me forever.

This year didn’t begin the way I hoped it would. There were moments I wondered how I’d make it through. But this Christmas came with a gentle reminder that God has been with me every step of the way.

This season was full of movement: finishing my first Christmas tour in many different states with @sidewalkprophets, driving eight hours from Nashville to West Michigan, stepping straight into Christmas Eve rehearsals and services with my church family, celebrating in four different homes, then driving 2.5 hours east to spend Christmas with my Christmas Day birthday girlfriend. So much motion, yet somehow, so much peace.

In the middle of all the miles, I found moments of stillness and rest where my heart was refreshed. Moments where I felt the assurance that God really is with me. not just at Christmas, but through every hard and beautiful part of this journey we call life.

It’s my third Christmas away from my family in Australia, and it doesn’t get easier. But FaceTime across time zones reminded me that love travels far. And the families here in the USA who welcomed me into their homes. you have no idea how much that means to me. I’m deeply grateful.

This Christmas reminded me that joy doesn’t come from perfect circumstances, it comes from His presence.

Happy Birthday, Jesus. Thank You for coming down in this earth for us because of your great love for us. Merry Christmas everyone!

“But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people. For this day in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord (the Messiah). [Mic 5:2]

“Glory to God in the highest [heaven], And on earth peace among men with whom He is well-pleased.””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬-‭11‬, ‭14‬ ‭AMP‬‬

The @sidewalkprophets Great Big Family Christmas tour has kicked off again last weekend and what an adventure it was! It was the week where i have been blessed to see people rally together from our entire crew and the community of people in full support for us to continue to share the Christmas joy and the message of the hope we have in Jesus with music!

After our first show of the weekend in Wisconsin Rapids, poor bubba the bus had a problem in the cold where we couldn’t leave! @christi505 turned into Wonder Woman and gathered everyone from our team, asked for help around and incredible people got us out from Wisconsin to Terra Haute, Indiana with just a 2 hour load in to continue our show while the bus was getting some TLC and for the rest of the shows, everything became smooth again but to see everyone rally together to help us was something i will never forget.
I’m also so grateful that some of my dearest friends from the east side of Michigan and my girlfriend Christy was able to come to our show in Macomb, Michigan! Metro Detroit has a huge place in my heart because of these people! So grateful for each of their support towards me!

Excited for the upcoming shows of the Christmas Tour!

The Sidewalk Prophets “Looking Up” Tour has officially come to an end!
40 shows, 19 States, 30 Cities. My heart is overflowing and overwhelmed with gratitude and thankfulness.

I couldn’t have been more honored to be with this amazing group of people for my first ever bus tour. Out of the many thing’s I’ve gotten to be a part of in my 11 years of a career in music, being with these guys has been the best experience I’ve ever gotten to be a part of. Everyone gave their all each and every day. not one person was left behind and each and every one of us had something to be “Looking Up” to.

Being part of a tour for a new album launch as a new band member is nerve wracking, challenging but comes with so much excitement and i am so grateful that i got to be part of this run.
(Also if you haven’t listened to the new SWP album yet, you should DO IT!)

To the fellas in Sidewalk Prophets. Ben, Dave, Cal, Blake & Rains. Thank you guys for choosing me to be part of the Great Big Family to be able to play guitar with you guys.
I’ve been inspired and listening to the music of SPW for the last 10 years and seeing you guys play live back in 2019 just blew me away. Seeing you guys play with so much joy, energy, passion, excellence and skill was so mesmerizing. Especially with Dan playing guitar in person, it was absolutely breathtaking and exciting seeing such a high level of musicality in the CCM world.

@dan.macal , to see the big news of you stepping down after being part of the band for so long, i knew that anyone who would have to fill in would be stepping into massive shoes as it would take one hell of a guitarist with a skillset and a heart as big as yours.(which honestly no one has)

I wasn’t expecting you to encourage me to audition as that is a huge intimidating task in itself. So to be chosen to be the next guitarist of SWP after you is a huge deal. So thank you guys for trusting me and for giving me the opportunity to be here. It honestly means the world. (Full Caption Continued In The Comments)

And so begins chapter 28 of life in such an exciting way! So grateful to have spent my week at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge,Tennessee with my @sidewalkprophets family playing two shows from Monday-Friday and riding roller coasters everyday right after😂

What a joy it was to celebrate the life God has given me surrounded with people that i love and getting to do what i love the most!

Thank you to everyone who has greeted with me the kindest of messages, phone calls, facetimes and prayers! I am so thankful to each and everyone of you and I couldn’t be more thankful to Jesus for another year of life! 27 was awesome but im so looking forward to whats ahead in chapter 28!

My bible verse for year 28 of my life is Romans 8:28 - “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”
And i speak that over my life as I’ve seen the goodness of God work all things together in my life through the highs and lows of life! I’m so eternally grateful!
