I don't want people to get confused. I'm not going to be putting out a gospel album.

The great thing about Gospel is that you don't have to have an album every year in order to keep working.

There's a little bit of gospel in everything I do. But I don't know if I will ever do a gospel album. There's a big universe out here, and I don't want to just sing to the church. I want to sing to the world and bring them a message of love. I love going to church and singing gospel songs, but right now there's a message that the world needs.

When I was doing mainstream country, there was no way that an executive was going to ask you to do a gospel album.

My next project will be a Christian album, another one. I wrote the songs for the ones you're referring to, but I want to do some of my old gospel favorites. That's what my next album's going to be.

Even if I make a gospel album, my gospel songs are going to get you dancing and crunk.

Gospel music is never pessimistic, it's never 'oh my god, its all going down the tubes', like the blues often is.

I think the amazing thing about gospel music is that not only does it lift up the death and resurrection of our Lord, which is consistent with the Gospel, but it is uniquely communicated depending upon the generation.

Just because it's in print doesn't mean it's the gospel.

The gospel to me is simply irresistible.
