    <description><![CDATA[Jonathan Sprang, 25, has been writing songs since early on in his life. He began taking piano lessons at the age of 5 and stopped private lessons at the age of 17. The summer before his senior year of high school he became the lead singer for a band called Soul Sacrifice and sang with them till he graduated. Towards the end of that school year, the spring of 1998, he picked up his dad's guitar, which had been sitting in a closet for years, and began trying it out. He recieved instruction from friends and taught himself the rest by looking up chords/tabs on the internet and watching Dave Matthews play live. While in college at <A HREF="http://www.trevecca.edu/">Trevecca Nazarene University</A> in Nashville, TN, he played for many of the events at the school, on and off campus. In 2007 he moved to Rowlett, TX to start a new kind of church called <A HREF="http://www.catalystrowlett.org/">Catalyst Rowlett</A>. He loves the acoustic sound and enjoys writing soaring melodies represented in his former band <A HREF="http://www.myspace.com/3milesfromsunday">3 Miles From Sunday</A> . His primary musical influences are <A HREF="http://www.davematthewsband.com/">Dave Matthews Band</A>, <A HREF="http://www.johnmayer.com/">John Mayer</A>, <A HREF="http://www.michaellogen.com/">Michael Logen</A> and <A HREF="http://www.abnerramirez.com/">Abner Ramirez</A>.<p>

      <title>a great last week</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/jsprang/posts/text/6040623</link>
      <description><![CDATA[had a great week last week. got a lot done.  i'm pumped about our new series: wide open. it's about our core values love grow and serve. the graphics were fun to make and my buddy david made an awesome sermon bumper with it.  we opened yesterdays service with 'all you need is love' by the beatles.  it was a blast. <br /><br />funny story about that: a couple months ago, the beatles rock band game came out, as well as the remastered beatles anthology. i told levi it would be cool to do some of their songs to kinda be current with the pop culture. I forgot about it. when we we were doing the dave ramsey series I found out that they did the original 'the best things in life are free. but you can leave them for the birds and bees. I need money (that's what I want)' I never realized that was them. I just thought it was the 80s version that's more popular. then we did the 'biggest losers' series and I found 'i'm a loser' by them and thought that's cool. then when I was planning for the core values I figured we had to do 'all you need is love'. it completes the trilogy. lol.<br /><br />I digress. got to meet up with glackey for a writing session for some of the Christmas songs that I'm doing at the liquid lounge. he's gonna run the loops for me so we can have some freedom. It's gonna be a blast and it's on dec 11 at 8pm.  we're gonna also do a catalyst Christmas concert on dec 19 at 7pm so if you can't come out to a rock club you can still hear all the songs.<br /><br />meagan and I have really gotten pumped about tackling our debt which is school loans from north carolina. we've cut back our impulse spending tremendosly and I'm putting all the money I make on the design stuff on the loans and she's doing a couple after school clubs so we can bring in a few more bucks to get out of his debt. this is exciting thanks to dave ramsey's financial peace program. we're having a blast on sunday nights. <br /><br />hope things are going well for you. wherever this finds you. <br /><br />(ps- dont try to write a blog on your iPhone. It took me forever and this is the fifth edit. )<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width="1" height="1" src="'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1314802620990026693-7811773469685735736?l=blog.jsprang.com'/" /></div>]]></description>
