Battle Cry: Worship From The Front Lines (Acquire The Fire)


  • Recruited at just 20 years old to oversee the worship ministry at Grand Rapids mega-church, Resurrection Life, Michael is also an accomplished songwriter, co-penning the popular worship song “Friend Of God” with Israel Houghton. After a six-year tenure at Resurrection Life, Michael is now fronting a band of friends and family who share a unified mission.
  • Rooted in the progressive worship vein of David Crowder*Band or Hillsong United, the Michael Gungor Band’s unique musical identity is further shaped by such diverse influences as Pete Yorn, Sigur Ros, and Chris Thile.
  • “Most of these songs were written for my congregation, but they are not all strictly congregational songs. All of them, however, are aimed at inspiring us to bring the Kingdom of God to earth by revealing who He is and who we are in Him,” Michael says of the album. “His influence, His peace and His justice should begin to come to the earth as we begin to be restored personally. We are just the beginnings of the new creation, and if we let this restoration go in the directions God desires, the world around us will be changed.”
  • Matching songbook also available (October 14, 2008).
  • Merch flats available for in-store promotion.
