Ethan & My Biking Adventure

Today Ethan and I went on a great bike ride through the urban trail system trails here in Flag. We conquered about 8 miles and discovered a lot of great new scenic parts of town. Above are pics I took along the way on my new Kodak video/pic camera. Check them out and also the video below. If you live in Flag you have to check out the trails!!

Deeper challenged me to worship God steadfastly, even when everything is NOT ok. In a culture where worship is in danger of becoming a cliché, Deeper calls us to genuine worship that doesn’t depend on our circumstances.

Barry Blair – Music producer, Grammy Nominee, Dove Award winner (Audio Adrenaline, Bleach, Addison Road) Nashville,TN

"Sinking Deeper is an honest look into the life of a Christ-follower who passionately wants to worship Jesus, especially during the storms of life. Kevin takes us far beyond the boundaries of worship just being defined by music, to worship in which we pursue the character of Christ."

Andy Frank, Worship Pastor- Christ Church of the Valley, Peoria, AZ

"In his book Sinking Deeper, Kevin humbly reminds the reader what true Worship is: a continual desire to be in the presence of a Living and Loving God. Whether your life is sailing through crystal calm waters or is being thrown about by stormy waves, Kevin shares personally and biblically that the only way to truly find peace is by Sinking Deeper. I highly encourage you to read this book. "

Garrick Whited, Producer - KLove Radio Network , Sacramento, CA

“I have known Kevin Earnst as a talented songwriter and gifted musician for several years now. But with his first book, Sinking Deeper: The Art of Worship While Drowning, Kevin shows himself to be a great storyteller as well. From the intriguing title to the honest personal stories, this book drew me in and pulled me on to keep reading. Most of all, Deeper draws me deeper as a worshiper and a follower of Jesus. This book is transparent, humorous and real. I highly recommend it. “

Dr. Ken Read, Professor of Music , Cincinnati Christian University, Cincinnati, OH

“Kevin’s conversational approach blended with his understanding of Scripture makes this book accessible and practical. Be encouraged and strengthened by his writings.”

Justin Miller- Worship Pastor at First Christian Church, Napa, CA

“From the heart of a great songwriter, Sinking Deeper is a personal testimony full of encouragement and timeless truths. Honest, funny and convincing, Kevin challenges me to be a more faithful, passionate worshipper.”

Mike Frazier, Worship Pastor, Savannah Christian Church, Savannah , GA

"This book explodes the concept of worship out of the church building and into the course of everyday life.... a life that is often messy and complicated yet full of potential when God is in the midst. Kevin brings you face to face with the critical need for a deeper lifestyle of worship in order to not only survive but thrive through any situation by God's grace. His practical thoughts, relevant stories, powerful portions of the Psalms and challenging questions will allow you to sink deeper in hope and joy as a result of the amazing power of worship! A great resource for personal growth, small group study and even a sermon series!

Andy Hansen, Executive Director of C. I.Y. (Christ in Youth) Joplin, MO

Kevin’s book Sinking Deeper: The Art of Worship While Drowning is a refreshingly honest; truly helpful; and at times humorous read for those who want to and/or need to spend time with the Lord. This book can be especially a great help to those who experience times that are fearful. It has examples from scripture of how the patriarchs overcame in severe trials and uses contemporary examples to illustrate important spiritual points. An important concept which is presented in Sinking Deeper is that “worship is a relationship with God”. This is not a popular notion and many who shouldn’t miss this – unfortunately miss this. This book is full of faith and encourages faith in God. Sinking Deeper is an expression of how truly big God is.

Rufus Harris, President-Red Letter Records, pastor-The Bridge Church, Pontiac, MI

"In the tradition of men like Job, Elijah, Jonah, and David, Kevin Earnst wrestles with the eternal question, "Why do God's people suffer?" He writes with Passion about a topic that is relevant to hurting believers: how to praise God in the midst of pain. The image of "worship while drowning" is extremely pertinent to those in difficult situations and offers much relief, comfort, encouragement and hope to those who read this book."

Dr. Les Hardin, Associate Professor of New Testament at Florida Christian College, Kissimee, FL

My New Football Player
Over the past few months Corey has been playing football. This was his first year and he did great trying to learn the game and plays. Their team did great over the season and won the playoffs and the championship at the NAU Dome




























Long Time No Write
Wow its been forever since I have been on here and alot has been happening. Its been a couple months and the year is almost over and here I am finally getting back on to blogging. I'm including below all the things that have been going on and some new adventures right now..... read on and see whats new ....

ONE EVENT
In September we had an awesome worship event out at Pine Mountain Ampitheatre. It was a worship service and we had over 1,000 people out on the lawn on that beautiful day. The band, full choir and vocalists were there and lead the music. Im going to upload some pictures and a link to watch some videos of the event on here soon.



new pics on here of the One event at Fort Tuthill. my visit to McCains party in Phoenix, Coreys football shots, more songs being recorded back in the studio and the book. Do I dare mention the book. The project I've been working on for four years now... I am so close...... Im shooting for it to be out by Christmas. Its November already. Its crazy and we got snow here last night. What the heck is going on?? Check back... more pics and info very soon....

My New Instinct Phone
Ok so I just got the new Instinct phone from Sprint. Ive had the Treo for a year but this definitely beats that hands down. You can't get away from the ads and commercials for it. They are everywhere. First of all I got it at Best Buy and amazingly it was quite a bit cheaper than the Sprint store (not to mention that the Sprint store didn't even have any in stock yet and it would take 3 days for them to get it in once ordered.) Anyway this phone is pretty amazing, full internet access, email GPS Video and photo & video capabilities with 2.0 megapix and a storage card with 3gigs that is included. Its a full touch screen set up with visual voice mail and lots of other new calling features. One of my favorites is the mp3 player and mobile tv that comes with it. Lots of channels for videos, weather, entertainment news and music. I have had it for about two weeks now and am still learning all the features. I took it out the other day to try using the GPS system. I set it up and typed in the address and to my surprise another awesome feature... not only is the GPS 2d and 3d but yes... it talks. The features are endless. Its all touch screen. Its small enough to fit in my pocket and not rip a big hole in my jeans and best of all it even makes smoothies. I love this thing!

Our Visit to Saddleback & Laguna Beach
We just got back from a week in California. I went to the Saddleback worship arts conferecnce and the fam hung out at Laguna Beach. We all had a blast and it was a great week. I spent the week at the conference and a part of the worship choir that helped out with the worship sets. Pictured below are some of the pics from the week and Ethan who just got his casts off today!
