So many questions arise in the realm of religion, faith, and spirituality. Joel Lane is a singer/songwriter from California whose goal is to write with the encouragement to, “question our belief system,” in an effort to build a more secure foundation in Christ.
“My goal is to know truth and understand it in a clear way; and, to plainly provide simple amplification of reality and knowledge based on the word of God.”
Joel has an honest openness and observant anticipation
"to gain faith and knowledge with expectancy."
“Life brings difficulties and challenges which require responses. Loneliness, falseness, tragedies, and even successes, sometimes have us, consciously and sub-consciously, looking for solutions in places we would not normally look; looking is a great step! I understand that following God is a huge decision and the path may not always be visible. However, there is a path and our choices determine our pace.”
In Joel’s song,
“Will I Change?,” Joel speaks of surrendering his life to his creator in an effort to shine with a light that reflects God’s desires, with the understanding that many times our own selfish desires cause pain and unnecessary distress:
When I live by my desires, I only cause pain. When I live by Your desires, I want to shine for Your name. Will I change?”

“Through my own life experience, it has become more and more evident that I bring a large majority of calamity upon myself: from addictive abuses and the misuse of thoughts and energies. I believe God has called us to step up and to not only understand why we choose Him, but to be familiar with our decision, every day, while responding to life.”
The bible says in Joshua 24:15,
‘But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.’
