Casting Crowns

Okay, so this is where we're supposed to give you all the marketing hype, the impressive list of awards and nominations, the radio stats, record sales and media coverage. All the facts to confirm just how far up the music career ladder Casting Crowns has traveled in the two short years since the band's recording debut. Certainly there is much to tell. But frankly, that's the least of what you need to know about Casting Crowns. There's nothing less important to them than all the marketing details. Instead, if we could all suspend that tiny (or big, as the case may be) voice of cynicism just for a moment if we could magically transport ourselves to any given Sunday morning at Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church outside of Atlanta, perhaps we'd see just how little the music business machine matters. What matters is what's going on in the lives of the 400+ kids that Mark Hall and the other six members of Casting Crowns minister to each and every week. What matters is whether or not that teenage guy really 'gets' that God believes in him, even when he has trouble believing back. What matters is whether that teenage girl knows she's loved and wanted by the God of the universe, when there's no one else to love her. What matters is that they come to see their lives as the only songs of worship that really count.

Matthew West

Since the 2003 release of his Universal South debut, Happy, Matthew West has been on a fast track to making music history. The project's first single, "More," held the #1 spot on R&R's Christian Adult Contemporary singles chart for a record-breaking nine weeks and went on to be named Christian Song of the Year by ASCAP. Capping off an eventful year, Matthew was nominated in five categories—including New Artist of the Year— at the 2005 GMA Music Awards. Meanwhile, the young singer/songwriter has had his songs recorded by many of the top names in Christian music, and last year, country's Rascal Flatts was added to the list. Whether on stage, or at home outside Nashville, Matthew fervently lives out his passion to "make history" by impacting the lives around him. In spite of all the twists and turns along his journey, West rests in knowing God has a perfect plan for his life. "I'm realizing God is making history with my life, not just with the chances to write a hit song or play in front of thousands of people, but He is shaping my history throughout all the moments of my life," Matthew concludes. "I hope that History can be a reminder to never underestimate God's plan for our lives. Because every moment that we are alive, history is in the making."

Generation Unleashed

As one of the largest, fastest growing worship movements in the United States, Generation Unleashed has brought thousands of young people from all over to the Northwest to experience what God is doing in Portland, Oregon. They are first and foremost a church and a youth ministry, then are a youth conference and finally a band with a goal to help others create a culture of worship in their lives.
