WHY I STARTED OVER
(Backstage Pass Part 2)
Welcome back!
If you missed Backstage Pass Part 1, you can catch up
HERE before continuing.
Today I want to share a chapter of my story that changed everything.
Sometimes the hardest seasons aren't the ones where everything falls apart. They're the ones where you wonder if it's worth continuing.
In today's video, I share how a persistent sense of calling kept pulling me back to music - even when it would have been much easier to walk away.
I wrote Circling Jericho as a reminder that follow Jesus often means continuing to take steps of faith, even when nothing seems to be changing.
As a thank-you for being part of the Backstage Pass, I'd love to offer you the Beautiful and Terrible CD along with the exclusive Album Companion booklet.
The booklet isn't available anywhere else and includes lyrics, artwork, photos, Scripture, and the stories behind every song.
I've also discounted it and included free shipping just for Backstage Pass viewers.
Here's the
SECRET LINK
Finally, here's a simple performance of Circling Jericho below (from my livestream studio - which is crammed into a corner of my home office). ๐
CIRCLING JERICHO

Well this is not where I thought You’d lead me
And though I know that You would never leave me
Still I feel alone
And You know I don’t wanna be here anymore but
I’m holding true to this lonely orbit
Marching ever on
And step by step, one foot at a time
Round and round, this unbroken line
And all I know is I’m still circling Jericho
Well here I am, and if I’m completely honest
I can’t quite tell if I’ve been making progress
Still I stumble on
Yeah and here I go, once more – once more with feeling!
A smile and a song (that’s maybe too revealing)
But till these walls are gone
Step by step, one foot at a time
Round and round, this unbroken line
And all I know is I’m still circling Jericho
I’ve seen You part the waters
And we crossed the river Jordan
Walked across on dry land
We took twelve stones, built an altar
So we always would remember
Always would remember
And never forget (and yet . . .)
I will obey, I will
Choose to believe, I will
Follow today, though my heart can’t see
Just where You lead me – where You lead me
Step by step, one foot at a time
Round and round, this unbroken line
And all I know is I’m still circling Jericho
