David is a prolific songwriter, recording artist, producer and conference speaker. He lives with his wife Rita in Franklin, TN, just south of Nashville.
A Grammy award winning songwriter, David has a passion to know Christ and make Him known. David's songs have been recorded by Michael W. Smith,Selah, Don Moen, Ron Kenoly, Debby Boone, Nick Coetzee, Natalie Grant, Phil Driscoll, Alvin Slaughter, Kent Henry, Morris Chapman and many others.
Davids own CDs are loved for the depth of lyric, fresh musicality, and what can only be described as the touch of God, Who breathes His inspiration through this gifted modern day psalmist. David and Rita are not afraid to speak of the pain and struggles that they, (like most of us,) have gone through in their marriage, finances, family dynamics, etc., yet they always point to the grace and love of God Who is the Redeemer.

MyHotCommentsDavid, Trials and Tribulations will either make us More Holy, or More Sinful depending [GREATLY] on our Relationship to God/with God, Amen? Because when testings come (and they WILL come "IF" you are Walking right), WE will either TRUST God's purposes and FIND Peace, OR "we" can Trust in our OWN plans, start walking in the "Vanity of our mind's, thereby developing a NEGATIVE OUTLOOK or DISPOSITION and thus DEVELOPING A BITTER, and CYNICAL heart. We may NOT like our situation (and in MOST cases "we" WON'T), BUT, because WE "Are CHRISTIANS"; because we are a "Chosen Generation; because we are a Royal Priesthood; because we are a Holy Nation and a Peculiar People"...WE... "SHOULD"... LOVE...GOD and WE...MUST...TRUST..."HIS"...WILL FOR, OUR LIVES!
The Bible says "And going a little further, He threw Himself upon the ground on His face and prayed saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from Me, nevertheless, not what I will [not what I desire], but as You will and desire" (Matt.26:39 AMP).
The Bible also says "For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome" (Jer.29:11 AMP).
Is that where the phrase "Trusting God's Purposes" came from......Hmmm?!!?
Hey Brotha..I know itz been a minute, but I thought holla to simply show U some love...my desire is to be real and transparent to my beloved brethren because we glean strenght from each other... I am praying for you and believing for God's best in your life everyday, in every way...and tahnk U for being my friend...don't be a stranger HOLLA!!!
