Everything I knew was on that campus. It took a dramatic work of God to expose me to my own need for grace. Because the world around me was so ideal, it took the Lord exposing me to my inherent wickedness later on in life, about 13 or 14 years old.
Before then, I compared myself to the other people that are bad, and I felt like I was good. It took Jesus awakening me at a youth camp and revealing to me that I am in just as much need of grace as terrorists. The worst of us is all of us. For me, that realisation drove me to the cross at about Shortly after his conversion Evan felt a call by God to serve him in full time ministry. I was at a camp and the preacher got really specific.
He said, 'I know there are some young men out there sensing the Holy Spirit calling them not just to become Christians, not just to go to church regularly - but there are some specific people out there, and you know who you are, who God is calling into the full service of his kingdom with all of their lives.

In Evan released his first album, 'Mysterious Things'. A song on the project, "Hallelujah Jesus" gained major popularity throughout the Calvary Chapel stream of churches and beyond.
Evan said ruefully, "That is the song that the Lord has moved through the Church most - caused it to sprout wings. I'm humbled by what God chooses to do through that tune. The next record was a whopping four years later, Two years after that Evan released his self-produced holiday album 'Christmas Music Volume 1'. Said Evan, "On one hand, God did give us emotion, and to respond emotionally to the saving work of Christ is indicative of a true relationship with Christ.
However, if it's all emotion and no theological basis - no orthodox truth - then it's anybody's ball-game at that point. I do think that these expressions we call worship songs need to have a clear grounding in Scripture. But it's also timeless, and the crux of all that we rely on. For the songwriter who feels compelled to be unique and wax poetic, they may say 'The Blood of Christ has redeemed my soul' in a different way by painting it rather than saying it.
I love that too. I just think a clear lyric is important for congregational worship. His wife recently gave birth to his first daughter to go with the three sons they already have.
