My Gear, Pt. 2: You Thought this Madness Was Over

Happy day to all of you reading this blog post today! I'm very happy that you're gracing my page with your clicks, views, and whatnot. I decided to write this blog post for essentially one reason: it's foggy here in Arlington. When it gets foggy, I drink tea. When I drink tea, I write, I share... I blog. All that to say, I feel you should know the "gear" I am sporting these days, and perhaps why I sport it. We'll see how long my tea and my impulse lasts. Here is my gear, part two.

#antigearporn: Stop Normalizing Pornography

Hey all. Sorry my posts have kind of been off the wall lately. Here’s another one I want to run by you, with your permission of course. I'll also keep it short and sweet. This post will be themed around #gearporn (as can be seen in the image below) and the likes (i.e. #gearslut, #geargasm), or rather themed against them. While I am not entirely certain as to how this utterly disgusting social media trend started, I’m concerned with seeing the end of #gearporn.

By the time I got up, it was ten minutes ago. No willpower. That is my curse." -Nellie Bertram (The Office)

Pedal Review: EHX Soul Food OD

Salutations fellow pedalheads! Because I write a blog on worship and guitar pedals, I will, believe it or not, be composing several specific pedal reviews on pedals I feel merit a review. The subject of this review is the EHX Soul Food OD. I hope you enjoy!

Pedal Order: Our Work is not in Vain

Alright. So I bet you saw the title of this post and thought, “Oh crap. Another pedal order blog post from some punk. He thinks he knows something. I bet he thinks he can teach me something. How DARE he.” I’m here to rewrite your opinion of pedal order posts. Because frankly, I don’t care one second how you order your pedals. Thanks to a friend of mine, I now put my drives before my volume; but if you put your drives at the end of your chain I’ll still be more concerned with how intensely you worship and love the Creator. So let’s start with a verse.
