Describe the writing and recording process

The writing and recording process of His Door Is Open was really a God Send. Things just felt right and came together. God lead us to the right recording studio and engineer. We recorded His Door Is Open at The Slaughter House Studio in Forest Park, Ohio and our engineer Eliot Slaughter, was a pleasure to work with, resulting in a very relaxing environment which is very helpful with the creative process.
