		<title>The Talent Code</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I finished this book last week, I’ve been telling everyone about it, and applying it to everything. It’s called “The Talent Code: Unlocking the Secret of Skill In Sports, Art, Music, Math, and Just About Anything” by Daniel Coyle. It basically looks at really talented people from all different segments of society and asks [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Grinch Prayer / Song</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In celebration of Christmas I thought I’d share this prayer &#038; spontaneous song. I’ve called it ‘The Grinch Song / Prayer’. We were praying for people in the  intellectual community who do not have faith in Jesus Christ. I saw a picture in my mind of the Grinch as played by Jim Carrey in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tantalizing Beat Box</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here’s a couple of songs that popped out spontaneously during some recent worship times. 
I’m not sure I’ve ever used the word ‘tantalize’ before in a song, but it does seem appropriate when you’re talking about God’s Love and being in His presence. You get tastes of Him and have brushes with His presence and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Give Me Your Glory (live recording)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love the presence of the Holy Spirit. I love being able to live life with God and I’m so thankful that God has poured out His Spirit on all people (Joel 2:28). Even though He’s given me free access to His Spirit through the work of Christ, I have to choose to walk in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Precious is the Lamb (live)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who have my worship album, you’ve heard the studio version of ‘Precious is the Lamb’. Today I thought I’d share a recording that captures the type of environment that the song was birthed in. It was written spontaneously, in a home fellowship. The song is probably the simplest song on ‘Imminent [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spontaneous Songs from the Summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I took a simple area mic to a couple of the prayer &#038; worship sessions I led this summer, and I thought that I’d share a few excerpts with you. Sit back, settle into the Lord’s presence, and enjoy!
(Remember, these were totally spontaneous in improvisational settings.)
‘High Above the Heavens (spontaneous)’You can download and listen to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Poem from the House of Prayer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had a great time at the Heart of the Valley House of Prayer on Saturday evening. There was a bunch of cool spontaneous song stuff that the Holy Spirit inspired. But I didn’t record any of it this time .. sorry. One thing that happened, was totally a cappella. I began singing in a [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Are (live recording)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few years a ago I wrote this song and have never recorded it. I played it some just after it was finished, but I haven’t touched it for at least two years. Then, about a week ago I was inspired to play it during a prayer and worship service. We were thanking God for [...]]]></description>

		<title>New spontaneous live song</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This last season has been an enlightening one for me. In some ways I’ve been learning some new things, but in many ways I’ve been re-learning things about myself. Relating to worship leading, I’ve been re-learning that I really like a spontaneous environment. I think it’s partly just the way God has wired me. So [...]]]></description>
