As usual, the atmosphere was energetic and a bit chaotic. Votes that typically begin on Monday—or at least Tuesday night—didn’t start until Wednesday afternoon.

The time flew by, and as I began my office visits, it felt as though I had only been away a day or two. It quickly became clear that this would be another intense week, as Congress faced serious deadlines—including the reauthorization of FISA
- [Getting Nowhere Fast | April 17, 2026](https://thewordonthehill.org/going-nowhere-fast-april-17-2026/) - I returned to Capitol Hill this week, just as Congress reconvened after its two-week recess. The hallways were bustling—not only with lawmakers, but with advocacy groups of all kinds, many seeking funding or support for legislation. These groups, sometimes numbering 10 to 20 people, rarely secure face time with a Representative or Senator. More often,

The good news is that God specializes in stepping into our hardest situations and bringing healing, restoration, and wholeness. This Easter season, we’re reminded of the greatest victory in history: the same power that raised Jesus from

Although House votes had been scheduled for Monday evening, weather disruptions across the country once again delayed the start of legislative business until Tuesday afternoon.

- [The Disappearance of Black & White | January 23, 2026](https://thewordonthehill.org/the-disappearance-of-black-white-january-23-2026/) - What happened to black and white? I was a young child when color television became common in American homes. Before that, everything was black and white. The phrase itself became shorthand for clarity—something definite, objective, and true. To say an issue was “black and white” meant there was no ambiguity. Today, technology allows us to

Charlie was a friend, and I was deeply honored to be asked to sing The National Anthem as part of the tribute to his life and work. Charlie and I first met in 2020 and exchanged contact information. From time to time, I would send him

Before sharing details, let me clarify the heart behind these updates: I’m not here to make policy judgments. I simply want to share what I see, hear, and experience as I walk the halls of Congress. This week felt especially heavy
- [Tough Times On The Hill | September 19, 2025](https://thewordonthehill.org/tough-times-on-the-hill-september-19-2025/) - I traveled to Washington, D.C., on Monday to sing for an evening event. The next morning, I had the privilege of hearing several speakers, including Secretary of the Environmental Protection Agency Lee Zeldin, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and others. It was inspiring to hear directly from these leaders. The camaraderie among the President’s cabinet

Moments later, I ran

Encouragement, as always, is welcome and needed. I have also been busy singing for two separate events in Colorado and at the Strategic Air Command Museum in Omaha for the SR-71 Blackbird Tribute. Click here if you
- [Before The Recess | July 25, 2025](https://thewordonthehill.org/before-the-recess-july-25-2025/) - This week marked my final trip to Capitol Hill before the House begins its August recess. While the Senate is scheduled to remain in session for one more week, the word “break” is something of a misnomer. Members of both chambers will stay active—meeting with constituents in their home districts, and in some cases, traveling
- [Capitol Chaos | June 27, 2025](https://thewordonthehill.org/capitol-chaos-june-27-2025/) - Just when it seems the world can’t get more chaotic, the intensity only grows. Our news feeds are flooded: the war between Ukraine and Russia, hostages still held in Gaza, rising tensions between Israel and Iran, the so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill,” and now America’s bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. The world feels like it’s teetering. To
- [Choose Forgiveness | June 9, 2025](https://thewordonthehill.org/choose-forgiveness-june-9-2025/) - I grew up in the church. More than that, I’m a pastor’s kid—and I’ve served on church staff. My daddy loved people. He was a fine preacher, but he was an amazing pastor caring for the congregation. It wasn’t unusual for him to make as many as 50 visits to homes each week. That’s when
- [Hot Summer Months on Capitol Hill | June 6, 2025](https://thewordonthehill.org/hot-summer-months-on-capitol-hill-june-6-2025/) - This week, I returned to Capitol Hill. I arrived Tuesday afternoon and immediately began my rounds, visiting offices in both the Cannon House Office Building and the Capitol.

- [Sleepless in the Capitol | May 23, 2025](https://thewordonthehill.org/sleepless-in-the-capitol-may-23-2025/) - I landed in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday afternoon and headed straight to the Cannon House Office Building for a series of meetings. Within minutes, I ran into a representative I had spoken with before. He’s currently navigating a difficult divorce and raising a young child. We paused for a moment of prayer together. He expressed

Smith | May 8, 2025](https://thewordonthehill.org/worship-on-the-hill-with-michael-w-smith-may-8-2025/) - I was back in Washington, D.C. this week for a meaningful and memorable visit, which included a powerful evening of worship with Michael W. Smith. After arriving on Tuesday afternoon, I spent time visiting several offices in the Rayburn Building. As always, I was warmly received by members of Congress and their staff. During dinner, I had a chance

- [Look Fear in the Eye | April 5, 2025](https://thewordonthehill.org/1249-2/) - There is probably no one more controversial these days than Elon Musk. Most folks either admire him or despise him. He certainly is a disrupter whether in his business enterprises or his involvement in government. Recently, he gave an interview where he was asked what advice he would give to a young person whose fear
- [New Mercies | April 18, 2025](https://thewordonthehill.org/new-mercies-april-18-2025/) - New Mercies Kristine and I recently moved. While our new location puts me farther from the airport, it brings us closer to the kids and grandkids. Being near the little ones is important—it’s a tradeoff that’s well worth it. Each morning, as I sit at the breakfast nook and look out the window, the words

- [Traffic Patterns | January 31, 2025](https://thewordonthehill.org/traffic-patterns-1-31-25/) - After living on the same street for 40 years, Kristine and I recently made a move. Nedra Drive was the street where our kids grew up. They learned to ride their bikes on that street. We played baseball on that street. It’s the only street they ever knew until they went out on their own.
- [Gotta Serve Somebody](https://thewordonthehill.org/gotta-serve-somebody/) - There’s an old Bob Dylan song, “Gotta Serve Somebody.” As with many Dylan songs, there’s truth to be found. As people of faith, we are called to be subject to a heavenly authority and an earthly authority. Romans 13 begins, Let every person be subject to the governing authorities.
- [Hidden Is Not Forgotten](https://thewordonthehill.org/hidden-is-not-forgotten/) - I’m not sure where the phrase came from but recently I heard the words, “Hidden is not forgotten.” It resonated with me.

Last week I sang for a large prayer breakfast event in Davenport, Iowa. The speaker for the event was Governor Mike Huckabee. Mike and I have been friends for over 10 years. We enjoy opportunities to be together to share thoughts and times of laughter. He has a great sense of humor.
- [10 Years of Ministry On Capitol Hill](https://thewordonthehill.org/10-years-of-ministry-on-capitol-hill/) - Kristine joined me on Capitol Hill this week and it was certainly an interesting trip.

- [Hot Time on Capitol Hill | July 12, 2024](https://thewordonthehill.org/hot-time-on-capitol-hill-july-12-2024/) - I’ve just returned from Washington, DC, and have one more trip scheduled to the Hill before Congress takes their August break.

- ["YOU SING, DON'T YOU?" | 5/17/24](https://thewordonthehill.org/you-sing-dont-you-5-17-24/) - On Tuesday I hit the ground running on Capitol Hill. As I entered a congressional office in the Cannon Building, I handed my note to the young intern sitting at the desk. He’s only been on the Hill for a couple of weeks. Before I left, he said, “You sing, don’t you?” After I said, “Yes,” he responded, “You’re Steve Amerson.” I was rather surprised but then Gavin told me he had grown up listening to my music and his parents were big fans.
- ["WE ARE ON THE VERGE..." | 4/19/24](https://thewordonthehill.org/we-are-on-the-verge-4-19-24/) - I was back on Capitol Hill this week and my time there was intense with numerous divine appointments. Tuesday afternoon as I began delivering my notes in the Cannon Building, I encountered a representative who shared his belief that "we are on the verge of losing the country." It's a sentiment that many of his colleagues share.
- [Hard Days on the Hill | 9/15/23](https://thewordonthehill.org/hard-days-on-the-hill-9-15-23/) - I arrived in DC on Tuesday evening and immediately began visiting offices. I encountered Representative Chris Stewart of Utah. Mr. Stewart was in the process of packing up his belongings.

On Saturday I flew across the country to sing at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Newington, Connecticut. As I flew, I worked and occasionally checked the news.

- [Thankful](https://thewordonthehill.org/thankful/) - During these challenging days, either the best or the worst in people surfaces. I’ve got to say, my experience is pretty positive as I see people being gracious as they try to locate the essentials to survive.
- [Psalm 121](https://thewordonthehill.org/psalm-121/) - I have always appreciated Psalm 121. On many mornings here in California I have looked at the mountains that surround the San Fernando Valley and thought of that passage.
- [The Right Place At The Right Time](https://thewordonthehill.org/the-right-place-at-the-right-time/) - Some folks are stubborn. You can probably think of one or two people right now who are hardheaded. Maybe it's you. Some people get something in their head and it is virtually impossible for them to change their mind or point of view. Facts or logic has no effect on what they think and do. And if you try to offer an opposing perspective they will often dig in even more.
- [Looking For Good news](https://thewordonthehill.org/looking-for-good-news/) - Technology has changed our lives. So much of our communication is now done online or via a handheld device. There is so much good that has come from it and with the good comes the bad.
- [Exiting Gracefully](https://thewordonthehill.org/exiting-gracefully/) - But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.

- [When the Song Ends, How Do We Respond?](https://thewordonthehill.org/when-the-song-ends-how-do-we-respond/) - I’m “old school.” I prefer well-crafted songs that have a great lyric and a solid melody.
