What Really Matters
Nathan lives very happily with his beautiful wife, Lisa, in Pleasant Grove, Utah. He is actively involved in his Christian faith.
“The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the re-creation of the soul. If heed is not paid to this, it is not true music but devilish blare and hubbub.”
