Preston's heart for worship and his ability to hear God's voice has given me the confidence I require to place him as a primary leader in our worship ministry. I trust his judgment and am always ministered to in a significant way by his leadership. The combination of his solid musicaninship, contemporary vocals and understanding of scripture bring life to his music. He has a unique ability of combining worship with the experiences of his life. They come through with humble confidence in his song's memorable melodies and edgy arrangements. As a worship pastor, I hear many new releases, Preston's Coles new project, "Hidden" is among my favorite.
