Kevin is the former worship pastor of the Vineyard Christian Fellowship in Santa Maria, California. Elling says, “I think I love music so much because it really is the language of the heart. We can tell God exactly how we feel through song. There is something about intimate worship music that "connects" us to Him in a way that Bible reading and prayer cannot. Praise music to me is the party, the celebration, of enjoying who God is and what He has done. Without worship music, I'd be lost!”
