it’s hard to believe it’s been twenty years since i released mockingbird. i wrote those songs because i needed to talk openly about politics, war, poverty, and the way faith and power intertwine.
i even gave the record away for free for a while to start a wider conversation about those issues. two decades on, the way churches and governments intersect — and the behavior of people of faith in public life — feel more critical than ever to examine.
to mark the anniversary, i revisited these songs with a one-night-only acoustic livestream performance. you can now watch the full replay, along with picking up the long-awaited vinyl repressing of the album and other anniversary merch.
i hope this moment invites us to reflect on how far we’ve come — and how much more conversation and work lies ahead.
