| My style really lends me to be an honest songwriter. In our culture, I believe our generation is ever searching for meaning and Truth in life. We are no longer satisfied to just take what we are given like our parents were. We want more... or maybe less. Less BS in life. Less lies, less hype. In music, also, I believe people are searching for Truth and I see a movement toward simpler patterns. Just a simple guitar, a vocal, a song, a message, a heart. ~Drew Jarrod |

| REVIEWS "Great Website! Loads of great stuff :) I like that you put your family first. So many in the ministry put them on the back burner. But more than anyone else we are responsible for their souls and well being. That's neat that you are a stay at home dad too :) That's an inspiration to me." ~Mark Henry, Author of "Embers Of A Burning Heart" "I missed church in order to see you on TV!" ~Sharon, MN "Hey Drew, I just watched your performance on the cancer telethon-we had the whole thing recorded and I fast forwarded through everything until I found you. I especially liked the second song you performed, "I Still Love You." I was so excited to find you after watching so many performances. Great job Drew, you sang and played beautifully. I really, really enjoyed it. Just wanted you to know that." ~Kim Wangen, Sargeant, MN "Hmm... Good words, Jarrod. So thought provoking you are, wise Yoda man." ; - ) ~Michelle Lane, Guitar Instructor, Musician~Dark Horse Music, CO, USA

I plan to read it over again. It amazes me that anyone can write as well as you do on just about any topic." ~Michael, Johnson City, TN "'Should We Fight For The Hearts Of Men?' is a beautiful post.

My false self is a 'human doing.' My true self can rest as a human being because Dad has it taken care of. I guess it is about living out my identity as a son of the Father." ~Darrell, RansomedHeart.Net "I hope Drew & Erin sing more songs together. They sounded great on 'Innocent Eyes!' 'Here With Me' is also great! I like the cover art....interesting." ~ALW, MN "I love 'Here With Me.' The orchestration is something new and lends a different feel to the music. It's very powerful." ~BEW, MN "Hi Drew. What you said in your blog was profound!" ~Gary, RansomedHeart.Net "'Innocent Eyes' is a very moving song.

It's very nice- especially the lyrics. ~BEW, MN "When I listen to 'Innocent Eyes,' my eyes start welling up with tears… It’s really beautiful Drew… REALLY.

The music is great and I'm waiting for the next album." ~Trent Miller, Structural Engineer, Las Vegas, NV "I have been listening to your music tonight.

The music and message you shared with us during past worship services was indeed inspiring and very much appreciated." ~Ron Priggie, Sargeant, MN "I enjoy reading your blogs and discussions.

Thanks for the great concert." ~Lois, Lakeville, MN "You helped our congregation give honor and glory to the Lord." ~Fred, Eau Claire, WI "'At Square One' is definitely commercial.
