Jeff Arrandale Blog – Getting It Going

Thanks for checking in on my new blog. Lots of stuff going on, but first, let me tell you about the plan and purpose for this blog. It will be my way of keeping you up-to-date on what God is doing with me musically.

Right now, Century Music Group is working with me on generating content for the website. In the future, there will be frequent content updates, including video and audio podcasts which are in the works. We will post new music, some just after it’s been written, and much more. Please be sure to sign up to my mailing list HERE, so we can keep you updated as things move along. I’d also love to hear from you, so feel free to leave comments on the site.

Now for an update on what else has been going on.

Worship at the church where I lead has been especially sweet this summer. We’re going through some changes, tough changes for some, with some people leaving, but most staying, and new people showing up. So it’s a time a renewing, a time of healing, and a time of spiritual growth. God has been especially attentive to our needs during our worship times. People are showing up broken and are allowing Him to work in their hearts through heart felt worship. Like I said, it’s been a sweet time and God gets the Glory.

Had a great time with Ben and Frank from Certainty performing on a live internet radio show. We were in the studio with the “Live from the Path Radio Show and Broadcast” talking about music, upcoming performances, future plans, and we played a few tunes acoustically live. The address where you can watch is www.desmoinesamplified.com or www.livefromthepath.org. The link for the entire hour-long show is at http://vimeo.com/13673146. They posted the performance of I Can Feel You Watchin’ and His Place separately on YouTube. Hosts Ben Fust, Mike Fust, and Dan Hudson are a riot. You’ll want to listen for the donkey meat stand bit and other hilarious stories.

We did this broadcast to help promote an upcoming performance at Spirit Midwest. I’m perform with Certainty at that event on August 6. The venue is in West Des Moines at Jordan Park. It’s an annual Christian Rock festival and this year there are 40 bands. They also expanded to two days this year with three stages and you can camp on site as well. We play on Friday night the 6th starting at 5:45 p.m. on the main stage. There will be fun things for the whole family so bring them all. Did I mention that it’s free!

Lastly, I’m looking forward to and making plans for a trip to and performance in a closed country this Fall. By that I mean a communist held country where people do not enjoy the same freedoms, including the freedom to worship, as we do here. As plans and dates are solidified, I’ll share them with you.

Thanks again for checking in. God is good all the time. All the glory goes to Him.
