"Nothing has been made more apparent to me in these past few months than the truth that completely relying on God and trusting in His plan is how prayers are answered. God knows what is best for you always and will guide you in the right direction if you let go of the human desire to be in control of everything and let Him work in your life."What absolutely true words spoken by our right-handed drummer, Jason Diehl! Born in Greensboro, NC in June or December (depending on whether you ask his mom or Facebook), Jason is what keeps GRD young and current! When he's not spending time with his family (mom, dad, brother, sister, 3 aunts, 2 uncles, a dog, and a cat), you may find Jason eating his favorite treat (applesauce), watching movies, playing/coaching soccer, visiting Smith Mountain Lake, or "reading" books on tape.
Here's a little bit more about the man behind the drum kit...
How did you start playing with GRD? It all started with a Confirmation assignment to help get the youth more involved in activities in the church. This lead me to volunteer as a musician in the Sunday night worship service in order to satisfy my "requirements." I guess I just overachieved it.
Why did you start playing with GRD? I really enjoyed drumming for the Shout service and really saw GRD as a different outlet for ministry through music that stretched beyond the walls of the sanctuary.
Favorite band? It really varies from week to week but I steadily enjoy listening to Dave Matthews Band (because I secretly want to be Carter Beauford).
Pet Peeve? I hate it when radio stations coordinate their commercials so that every pre-set station in my car is nothing but commercials and no music.
Most interesting place you have ever visited? China was definitely an experience.
What do you want to be when you grow up? I am trying to avoid adulthood at all costs.
What inspires you? Seeing people letting go of their fears and achieving something great
Most Embarrassing Moment? During my graduate school interview, my stomach kept growling at every possible silence.
Proudest Moment? Graduating from Elon University
What makes you smile? Others smiling
Favorite GRD Song of the Moment? Surround Me
