War of Thoughts
Choosing which voice gets the final word.
Christian songwriter · honest hope · a Kingdom Chorus artist
Songs for the war within.
Truth for the road ahead.
Scott writes for the person caught between what fear says and what God has already spoken.

01 · THE HEART BEHIND THE SONGSThe voice of fear is loud.
Truth does not have to shout.
Four songs · four ways into the story
These songs do not pretend the struggle is simple. They make room for it—and then make room for hope.
Choosing which voice gets the final word.
Trust when tomorrow is still unwritten.
Hope written from a family's lived mental-health journey.
Grace for the next brave step.

Scott DeClaire Jr. · Kathy Tschida · Lake City Lights
Built around Psalm 139, this is worship for every high place, dark sea, familiar room, and lonely road. God does not wait at the finish line. He meets us here.

The man behind the microphone
Scott DeClaire Jr. makes Christian music for people who believe—and still have hard days.
At twelve, a voice crack during a trio left him afraid to sing in public. Years later, that old fear became part of the calling: name the voices that keep people small, then answer them with the truth of God.
Today, Scott is a husband, father of three, songwriter, touring artist, sports fan, and coach. His songs carry the honesty of a kitchen-table conversation and the lift of a chorus meant to be sung together.
“You are not the only one fighting a battle no one else can see.”

The pattern inside the music
Song stories · truth with the edges showing
Every release begins somewhere real: a thought that would not leave, a family walking through pain, a person the world failed to notice, a promise that held.
01Identity & truth
The inner argument between what fear repeats and what God has already said.
02Provision & trust
A Matthew 10 reminder: the One who sees the sparrow has not lost sight of you.
03Mental health & hope
A deeply personal song shaped by his family’s journey through depression and the fierce work of staying.
04Dignity & compassion
A call to see the overlooked, misunderstood, and quietly hurting people already beside us.

Ministry in motion
For Scott, music is not an escape from real life. It is a way to bring the presence of Christ into it.
Faith does not require pretending. The songs make room for doubt, fear, depression, and the questions people are often afraid to say aloud.
The answer is never a slogan. It is the steady nearness of Jesus—the kind of hope that stays when circumstances do not change quickly.
Through Kingdom Chorus, Lake City Lights, co-writing, family, and local community, Scott’s ministry keeps returning to a shared table.
