The Arc

From Pride to Praise. In the Little Things. Break the Cage. Sweet Release.

The four albums form one sentence -- a single psychological and theological arc, named before the meaning was understood. Sixty-seven songs across four records that trace one man's path from waking up to his own pride, through the wounds that pride caused and received, through the crystallization of a new conviction (truth without grace is a cage), to the quiet acceptance of who he is and the promise that one day the glass will finally fall.

• Album 1 -- From Pride to Praise: the confession; a man tearing down his own temple, brick by brick.
• Album 2 -- In the Little Things: the wounds surface; growth through the bleeding.
• Album 3 -- Break the Cage: the thesis crystallizes; truth without grace is a cage.
• Album 4 -- Sweet Release: the quiet; the curator can finally stop, the glass falls, fully known and seen face to face.

Below: the four albums in reverse chronological order, newest first. Or hear them woven into one progression on All Music, which orders all 67 songs by the overall arc rather than by album.
