Dinner with an Artist

A great part of RECREATE has been the interaction with the artists from Integrity, EMI and Word Music Publishing. Either they have come to us or we have gone to them for a concert during the day. All of them are so talented and gifted. On Wednesday evening we happen to walk into the Anchor Church in downtown Nashville and sitting at the front table was Matt Maher. Matt has written some amazing songs for the church (Your Grace Is Enough, For Your Glory). I recognized him and called him by first name (like I was his best friend from home). He was so cordial and what ensued for the next hour was a great conversation not only about his songs, but about his perspective as an artist and the local church. It was a totally enjoyable evening--even though old churches are drafty and we picked the draftiest spot by the window.
