About Hosea

This album is different from my others. If you refresh your memory by reading the 14 chapters of Hosea, and read it slow, you will see a God who cares about the abused. A God who holds church leaders accountable in the most frightening ways. A God who loves his Bride even though she prostitutes herself and leaves the safety of his arms. A God who hates that his people are sex trafficking their sons and daughters to cult prostitution and killing their babies for a god that is not the true God. Yahweh laments this and their excellent crafting of idols, leading his people confused and astray. He promises infertility and emptiness as a consequence for their harlotry. But his message in the end is always consistent and the same: He loves his Bride, the Church, and he will restore her and bring her to himself.

This album is dark; nearly every song is inspired by a Radiohead song, mimicking a drum beat or a guitar tone, or overall feel. It’s heavy, mixing acoustic, electronic, and rock. Hosea feels that way to me. As I continued to work hard on this over the past year it developed itself with God’s full guidance.

Every artist strives to create what is true. It might be the truest thing I’ve made. I hope you like it.
