“As a group of passionate believers pursuing His presence, our artists and writers seek to capture what we feel God is saying through songs that declare who He is and who we are in Him,” says Joel Taylor, Director of Bethel Music. “Our heart for Worship Nights is to partner with what God is doing in communities around the world and see heaven invade earth. Join us for an authentic night of worship, encouragement and prayer as we love God together and pursue His presence.”

Setting the stage for what worshippers can anticipate at the “Worship Nights,” Bethel Music’s We Will Not Be Shaken was recorded during an evening of worship on a mountaintop overlooking Shasta Lake north of Redding. Chronicling the sound and awe-inspiring visuals from a multi-camera shoot that includes aerial views from a drone aircraft’s camera flying overhead at this unique gathering, the recording is meant to be a catalyst for other worship communities to take hold of what it means to “not be shaken.” The live album and DVD present 11 new songs led by the Bethel Music Artist Collective, including many of the artists on the tour and listed above, as well as Jenn Johnson, Matt Stinton and debut artists Hannah McClure, Jonathan David Helser and Melissa Helser.

Prior to the release of the highly anticipated project, We Will Not Be Shaken music was featured as an exclusive ‘First Play’ on iTunes Radio and streamed on RELEVANT’s “The Drop” while the film (DVD) premiered on Bethel Music’s Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/events/659978470778330/) page for free to over 25,000 Facebook fans from around the world. The music video, “Ever Be,” from the DVD went to the No. 1 position on the iTunes Top Music Videos all genre chart and continues to be a bestseller.
