Amanda recalls the birth of the song “You Make Me Brave.” God’s message in the music is spoken eloquently in the title track, a song from the heart of Amanda Cook, who recently moved from Winnipeg to be closer to her Bethel team. “I’m excited for people to listen and to hear what the Lord is saying to them personally through it and then also to find that launch pad in each song to worship - to identify where they’re at with the Lord and worship Him from that place.” “I think this project will serve two purposes,” says Jenn Johnson, who serves as Bethel’s Senior Worship Pastor along with her husband, Brian. The Women’s Conference is an annual event but this year in particular, organizers recognized the powerful undercurrent of God’s work in the preparation, and they knew they needed to share it with the world. The momentum continued when Tides Live released in late February. 1 on the Top Christian/Gospel Albums and Praise & Worship Billboard retail charts amidst unprecedented international acclaim. Tides became the biggest retail debut ever for the worship ministry, reaching No. God is for you, to give you strength and to make you brave.īethel’s growth and impact have accelerated in recent years as the ministry continues its transformation from local church music to global outreach, featuring a cadre of songwriters and worship leaders, a half-dozen CDs, chart-topping songs such as “One Thing Remains,” and both online and on-campus worship schools. To 1,200 people at a conference, and to so many more who will watch and listen, the Spirit spoke: God is present. The songs were written independently by a gifted team of worship leaders-Jenn Johnson, Kari Jobe, Steffany Frizzell Gretzinger, Kristene DiMarco, Amanda Cook, and Leah Valenzuela - but they took on a consistent character and a common voice. Though participants were unaware, God had carefully woven a theme through the messages and music. Worship was erupting as voices were lifted and souls were renewed. As the event was planned and executed, organizers realized it was transcending a typical church conference. The CD and companion video chronicle the worship experience during a three-day women’s conference held at The Civic in Redding, California, in August. Bethel Music follows the success and impact of their first all-studio release, Tides, with a unique and no-less-powerful project, You Make Me Brave.
