I realize I am walking a dangerous trend line with two pics of "road food" in recent weeks, but the use of coffee stirrers as chopsticks reprised itself when I could not find a spoon for the yogurt and bits I snagged from the breakfast bar at the hotel. Yep, still works. Three events in one day, yesterday, Riverton, Wyoming, the 9th largest city in the State with about 10K residents. Joining Prison Fellowship I performed music for an advocacy kind of event, then an afternoon concert in the Wyoming Honor Farm prison, and then an evening event for recovering addicts, their families and the beautiful people who celebrate recovery and restoration that Jesus brings, all day. Once again taking pictures in these event seemed to land between disrespectful and illegal, and so the most amazing day of the month so far for me will never be fodder for a social media impression. I think I like real people even more than I thought. #remembertheprisoner #prisonfellowship #depression #hopeless #sadness #fear #failure #alone #loneliness #dreams #encouragement #flyingdreams #indie #indierock #indiemusic #benpasley #entertheworshipcircle — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2xEx9v9

I know food pics are boring, but it is not the green beans I am eating after a concert (instead of the chili-cheese fries) that I want you to be proud of ... it's the way I am using the two stir sticks from the hotel room coffee service as miniature chopsticks! #roadfoodhack You're welcome. I played for about 50 inmates in a maximum security prison tonight, some I know by name. I will spend the day with them tomorrow as well, playing songs, shaking hands, telling stories, asking questions, looking for Jesus together. I really don't miss the fork. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2LeXy5K

I have traveled the earth in my music career, much of it enveloped in the mysterious band called Enter The Worship Circle, even writing a song with over a million plays on Spotify, a song from an album some say changed the course of spiritual life for them, but at this moment I don’t mind asking you to do something that would truly change the course of history for me: Please follow me on Spotify so I can create things, uniquely from me, uniquely for you. https://goo.gl/fUFGJG — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2KDCtS4

When I play prisons or concerts for the homeless they are closed to the public and, generally speaking, cameras are either not allowed or just disrespectful. You will have to trust me when I tell you that the hundred men I was looking at on Sunday night when I played the #springsrescuemission were all beautiful to God, and the hundred more who were claiming their bunks and laying low were just as important to me as I sang. People need encouragement. It was G.K. Chesterton that reminded me that is specifically those who can't repay, and don't deserve any favors, who are the most in need of Christian charity. If Jesus has done anything to me, he has infected me with concern for the unlovely. I played old songs, and premiered a new song, never performed, and it turned out to be their favorite song. I can't wait to play it for you soon, but the first will be first. Thanks for your prayers and support that keep me moving forward to love on those in need with the musical expressions I have the privilege to share. >BP #homeless #prisoner #depression #hopeless #sadness #fear #failure #alone #loneliness #dreams #encouragement #flyingdreams #indie #indierock #indiemusic #benpasley #entertheworshipcircle — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2rdqSRw

My boys said to me recently, "Dad, why do you hate Christian music?" I clarified the misunderstanding this way, "Boys, I never said I hated Christian music, I said that I don't understand, or have time for some of the glossy, "pretend" musical stories written by people who sound like they have never failed in public, lost a fight face down, or been kicked out of anything their whole lives ... the fakery of it does not square with the way life has happened around me." How do you feel about my answer?

"Get the needle and thread gonna need you to sew my wings back on again." G.K. Chesterton's quote in the image is a wonderful reminder that we are altogether in the same wild ride, altogether trying to survive the awkward fallings, and altogether in need of a helping hand. I wonder if Christ's story might be more about a helping hand, than a heavenly beat down? #failure #friendship #encouragement #flight #angels #flyingdreams #elevate #heaven #indiemusic #indie #indierock #benpasley #entertheworshipcircle — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2JagY9U

We’ve forgotten the taste of wind, black earth, has filled our hungry mouths, And gravity bends our backs to the ground. The fairy tale, the nursery rhyme, like Jesus Christ, Fading from our minds Few give the idea of Church, spiritual life, or the life of Christ a thought, except maybe on Easter Sunday. Is it because we have become so accustomed to relegating our spiritual dreams into the same box as children's stories, and holiday mythologies? What, then, is actually more sad: a life lived devoid of a heavenly romance, or adults who can't let go of the childish idea of heaven? #failure #friendship #encouragement #flight #angels #flyingdreams #elevate #heaven #indiemusic #indie #indierock #benpasley #entertheworshipcircle — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2H7tZjU

Hoping one day Soundcloud will be easier to develop a revenue stream on, until then, free music!

It’s too late for sweet chariots, we are anchored deep into the ground. Where our wings were, itching scars are found And the feathers fill our beds where we lay our heads, and sleep all night LINK IN PROFILE The opening lyrics of "Still We Dream of Flying" evoke the sad resolution to live at low altitude that most of us have settled for after a few epic, bone crushing falls from a height. The song allows everyone room to join the human race in failure, and in our common longing to defy gravity. #failure #friendship #depression #hopeless #sadness #fear #failure #alone #loneliness #dreams #encouragement #flyingdreams #indie #indierock #indiemusic #benpasley #entertheworshipcircle — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2EnVS54

I have written and produced a song for you, especially those of you who have fallen from the sky in failure. Have you ever failed in such an epic way that you lost a piece of yourself? I failed at marriage in my early twenties in such a public crash and burn that I smelled like a burned down house for quite a while. How about you ... ever really fail at something you love? The song drops in a few days. #depression #hopeless #sadness #fear #failure #alone #loneliness #dreams #encouragement #flyingdreams #indie #indierock #indiemusic #benpasley #entertheworshipcircle Get subscribed (see Profile link) to hear the pre-release on Easter! — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2pUjJnI

But still we dream of flying We are through the stars Still we dream of flying We are through the stars, and out the other side We were always meant to have angel wings The chorus of "Still We Dream of Flying" (Release April 3, Get links to pre-release on Easter Sunday in PROFILE!) is an anthem for everyone who dreams. Wonder, wide-eyed awe, such dreaming into the future is the very thing that makes us human at the core. What, then, can satisfy our need for novelty, forever? #dreams #failure #friendship #encouragement #flight #angels #flyingdreams #elevate #space #heaven #alienlife #indiemusic #indie #indierock #benpasley #entertheworshipcircle — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2pPXdNH
