In the lyrics to “Sometime I’ll Understand” from his work Lamb of God, Rob Gardner wrote the profound phrase “Though dark thy way, still sing and praise.” In a world of commotion and tumult, how can music bring us peace and allow us to sing in praise–even in the midst of darkness? Rob will share about his creative process and how he uses his musical ability to increase peace.
