The old version of my site looked fine on the outside.
Nice photos. Braggy resume. Slick buzzwords.
But it wasn’t me. Not really.
Somewhere along the way, I let the pressure of “platform” and the weird celebrity vibe in ministry shape how I showed up online. It started to feel like I had to live up to some polished, professional version of Jason Whitehorn… instead of just being Jason.
I had a life of fun – and celebrity-ism. Hanging out with guys like Matt Maher and writing music you sing some of your churches. Being on television shows and having my own iMDB page. Getting verified by social media back in the day when social media came to YOU to verify you…not because you paid. Yeah…I was a big thing. But…I wasnt. I was a pride-filled nothing. My walk was a lot of talk….because none of it matter in the scope of one thing. My life here on earth…a blip. Eternity…forever. Who I bring with me when I go…the life and legacy I leave behind…matters more.
One of the lines I wrote in one of my own songs says:
would the seeds that I had planted / spread to cover all the earth / as I told of how You came for me /
from a lowly baby's birth / or did I waste each breath in vanity / to simply breathe and then exhale /
and not use each passing breath / to rescue one more soul from hell? /
what if I could no longer breathe? / who would tell Your stories, Lord? /
what if I could no longer sing? / who would sing Your praises, Lord? /
And so here we are—fresh design, clean slate.
No smoke. No mirrors. Just me.
I’m a guy loved by God.
A husband to an amazing woman.
A dad to two beautiful, complex kids.
A Christian author.
A worship guy who writes songs for the Church.
A mentor when God opens the door.
A teacher when someone’s listening.
And sometimes… I say funny stuff.
That’s it. That’s enough. That’s all I need.
This site exists for one purpose:
To help you encounter the Jesus who changed my life—and still changes me every single day.
Thanks for being here.
Whether you came for the books, the music, or the memes—I hope you leave feeling seen, encouraged, and reminded that you’re loved.
