Great question. The main reason I started to focus on playing at Church was to give any talents I have back in my life. When playing in Church , people always love it. Doesn't matter if I playing the Baldwin piano or keyboard. But what I really play for is the tremendous emotion that comes with playing Christian music.
Music is such a strong link to God. If you don't believe that there is a God or an afterlife where our spirit lives in the hearts of the people you have touched, than that statement may not make sense.

I enjoy music, but praise and worship music takes me to a different and much deeper emotional place.I can touch lives and know that I am giving something back.

This is why I play.

Peace
