Michael Armstrong:
One listen to Michael Armstrong's debut album 'Loved' (Pine Mountain Music) and you'll understand why this release has made its way into the charts and hearts of Christian music fans everywhere. Michael drives his grassroots faith home in this first album with compelling lyrics, fresh arrangements, and rich sonic texture. Michael reveals a sensitivity unusual in today's Christian music scene.
The title of this album rightly is named 'Loved' because its whole purpose is to bring focus and honor to God alone. Loved intends to bring its listener to heartfelt praise, and perhaps relent the sometimes cold heart that can callus one's life and faith. As one sits back for a listen, Michael's sensitive lyrics and comforting music overwhelm with both peace and joy.
Loved, colorful in its imagery and honest to its core, cracks open its first page and brings one back to the days of 'connect-the-dots' where the crayon - brought life to paper, but where God really shows how to play; with stars hung up in the sky to form the big dipper. Song after song, picture after picture, draw ever so close the listener to display this artist's craft in inspirational song writing and his true desire to honor his Creator. Many of the songs speak of God's grace, emphasizing a believers true longing to reach beyond this life, to a real home in heaven, finally in God's presence.
Loved is a journey. A journey with Jesus and His love; and it's a theme that runs throughout the ?Loved? CD. Certainly it is a vigorous proclamation of Christ and a welcomed title among Christian music's rising stars
Mike Westendorf:
From the Heart... I just want to thank you for considering this ministry to serve with you and the people you hope to reach. As an artist, we exist in a competitive space, hopeful for opportunity to share our hearts, share our songs and for support to continue what we are passionate to do. I can tell you that my heart is for the Journey... the journey that we are all on in life. To connect our story to the GREAT story of Jesus, who he is, what he's done, what it means for us and how it motivates our life.
I am only on location for a concert with a sponsor or church for a small amount of time, but my hope is that we are able to serve well, to partner with you to make an impact and to bless people in your community for Jesus sake. If I am only working with you for a moment in time, it is important for people who come and hear the message and experience the concert, to have a place to turn for questions and answers about Jesus, people who love God's word and want to walk with people who are on the journey.
In recent years, my role in life at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee as a meteorologist working with college students, and my role in Campus ministry at The Point of Grace, have given my personal journey a renew focus. A passion to build 'bridges has emerged as an important direction in the future of this music and this ministry.
At the end of the day, my heart is about so much more than just the music. It's about Jesus and the journey that is 'faith'. Christianity is more than wrong or right, it's about Jesus... it's about living life as it was meant to be with an eye for eternity. To be with the Savior who knows us by name and to live for His Glory in our time of Grace on earth.
So... whether it's a concert for the neighborhood, a benefit concert to serve a need in your local community, a special worship service or a music event just to recharge the people of your church, we're here for the journey. How can we serve with you this year?
