So much gratitude to my Maker for so many things. This life of melody, family, and brotherhood is a journey I could never dream up.
When my eyes are opened to the beauty, everything I see around me is gift.
11 albums?!? My friends, thank you for singing along.
When the thoughts
In your mind
Are like thieves
And they take you places
Where love is hard
To believe
And the air gets thin
And lungs find it harder
To breathe
Remember when you know...
Wow. This is a really sad day for us, y’all.
Thanks for all the kind words about drew. He remains one of my favorite guitar players, and one of my favorite people. He is irreplaceable and will be dearly missed.
Lots of love to the switchfoot family worldwide.
"We tend to base our self-esteem on what other people think, and that's not really self-esteem…
How dangerous it is to allow other people to determine how you're going to feel about you."
– Will Smith
It was 11 years ago today that I put out a little EP with 6 songs on it entitled "Fall”. Over the past decade I have been so honored to be able to sing these songs with you guys around the world. Thanks for singing along!

-John Wesley
12 years ago today, I released a song called “Your Love Is Strong.” We are held together by a bond that is stronger than any economic or political system. I hope this song reminds you of a Love that is bigger than we are.
Important Update Regarding Jerome: We love our Switchfoot family. Unfortunately, we've got some sobering news: Jerome has cancer. We ask that you join us in praying for our brother Jerome and his family during this difficult season.
"God has given us music so that above all it can lead us upwards... its principal task is to lead our thoughts to higher things, to elevate, even to make us tremble… Song elevates our being and leads us to the good and the true."

“From the time you were very little you've had people who have smiled you into smiling, talked you into talking, sung you into singing, and loved you into loving.”

Still in shock after winning an Oscar last night for
#25in24
... Wow.
Also, lesser known fact- when you win the award for "Best documentary of the bizarre attempt to play 25 shows in 24 hours" they give you a car and a plane.
Unreal right?!??? So... That's pretty unexpected
My heart is broken for New Zealand. I stand in solidarity with mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, sisters and brothers mourning the loss of the ones that they love. I am your brother.
I stand in arm in arm with you. Against hatred. Against racism. You are not alone.
