People always grow and mature.

I'm maturing as a person and as a player.

When, out of fear, we avoid conflict and appease people, we are false peacemakers. For

I truly believe the greatest gift we can give the world is our true self living in loving union with God.

Not only does God not reject or punish us for being honest and transparent about our whole selves, but he actually accepts and loves us where we are. We are anchored in God's love as he gives us permission to express ourselves—the bad along with the good—and take care of ourselves in an appropriate way.

Part of growing into an emotionally mature Christian is learning how to apply practically and effectively the truths we believe.

Again, the emphasis of the language warns against regression, for it literally reads, "You have become having need of milk, not solid food."4 They had begun to eat solid food early on but were now back on the bottle. The truth is, there is simply no such thing as a static Christian. We either move forward or fall back. We are either climbing or falling. We are either winning or losing. Static, status quo Christianity is a delusion!

An honest answer is an act of love.

Some people are attracted to vulnerability. From my very first album, I've been vulnerable. I've always given parts of me, parts of my life - good, bad, ugly. I've never put up this image as a super-thug. Also, some people just like the music.

It is hard for me to be vulnerable, because I never learned how to do that. I was never vulnerable in a safe way.

It was a slow process of getting closer and closer to my actual personality on stage. And now there's very little separation. I definitely find the more open and vulnerable I am, the more people enjoy it.

My management skills are more suited to developing teams to be better than what they were before, and not just about avoiding relegation.
