Summary

Hey Guys! I'm so excited to share this conversation I had with Ace Harris on faith, creativity, sacrifice, and what it means to surrender everything to God.


In this episode, Ace shares his journey from discovering music in the church, to working in the Christian music industry.


And we touched on topics like the tension between art, commerce, and ministry, how beauty and creativity can point people back to God, and why our heart posture matters in everything we build.


We also discuss Altar Aesthetics, Christian influence, success, discipline, and the cost of following Jesus when He asks for the very thing we love most.


My prayer is that this episode encourages you to ask: is the Lord truly sitting on the throne of my heart, or have I placed something else there?

Ace Harris. What's going on? How you feeling? Most important question right now. Spurs are next? Spurs. Get out of my house. When I was in a Christian hip-hop group. Wait, but were you rapping? We're not talking about that. Being in the music industry, does that feel like a negative tone to it? naming it an industry when it's for the Lord. On the real, for real, at the end of the day, we're just making music for the Lord.

1:31.2

It's shit and puff us up to some level of pride or esteem or identity. I left and I had to sacrifice like my love for music at the altar. Whatever he's asking you to put on that altar, you should just put it on the altar. I don't want to put it on the altar.

1:51.7

But I will be with you.

1:53.7

Is the Lord sitting at the throne of my heart or have I placed him on the altar?

1:57.4

When he's on the throne and I'm on the altar, then I have pure worship.

2:02.0
