Andrew Messenger’s For the Lost and Broken is a deeply autobiographical alternative pop album that traces a journey of self-discovery, survival, and reclamation. Originally released in 2008 while Messenger was a queer college student at a private Christian college, the songs were born from a time of inner conflict—grappling with coming out, depression, faith, and the search for identity in an environment that didn’t always offer safety or acceptance.
Now, over a decade later, Messenger has reimagined these original songs for a modern, more victorious era. With rich new production, guest artist collaborations, and a renewed sense of purpose, For the Lost and Broken transforms pain into beauty, silence into song, and isolation into connection. Each track is a testament to perseverance, self-love, and the courage it takes to claim your story.
Entirely self-produced, the album blends raw emotional honesty with shimmering pop soundscapes, creating a sonic refuge for anyone who’s ever felt unseen, unworthy, or out of place. It’s not just music—it’s a lifeline.
This album is for anyone who has ever felt like they didn’t belong. In Messenger’s words and melodies, they just might find the reminder they need: they’re not alone.
