not to over think things, but at the
same time be intentional with all the
details and push myself as much as I
could. I worked with some amazing
song-writers on this album too, which
gave it a fresh dynamic as well.
CR - Where do you find inspiration for
songwriting?
JC - Without question from my
relationship with Jesus. I want
everyone to experience what I have
found in Him. I believe He is truly the
answer and I want to put my hope into
my music and to share the Gospel with
as many people as I can.
CR - You are renowned for releasing
powerful songs of worship. In light of
this, do you find it hard to maintain your
personal Christian walk with all of the
work it takes to maintain a career in the
Christian music scene?
JC - I wouldn’t say it’s hard necessarily,
but it is something I am committed to
and which requires discipline. It’s been
something that’s been a part of my life
for so long. But I don’t ever want to just
go through the motions either, I don’t
ever want to do it in my own strength. I
want the Lord to be glorified through
all of it, and I know better than to take
it into my own hands.
CR - You tour extensively throughout the
year, but you are also a father and
husband. Is touring difficult because of
this?
JC - Yes, it can be sometimes. Although
I have an incredibly supportive wife and
kids, I miss them a ton. My wife and I
have often talked about how important
it is for us to be present when we are
together. What I mean by that is that
you can have a regular job and be there
physically, but not really be there for
your kids. Although I don’t have as
much time with them, I really try to
make sure they feel loved and that
we’re connected and I’m pouring into
them.
CR - Other than the release of your new
album, is there anything exciting coming
up?
JC - Yes, with the release of my album
“I Will Follow,” we are also launching
our new website for our ministry
“Speaking Louder Ministries.”
It’s been something we’ve been
working on for some time now and
have had opportunities to share the
Gospel and offer hope and help to
many different parts of the world. We
have some awesome places on the map
for 2015 for hosting outreaches and
ministry opportunities!
Jeremy’s new album
“I Will Follow”
