Bethel Music announces the release of their latest single, “HE HAS DONE GREAT THINGS (LIVE),” available now on all streaming platforms, accompanied by a live music video. Led by Bethel Music Co-Founder Brian Johnson, the track is part of the collective’s highly anticipated album, “We Must Respond,” set for global release on January 10, 2025.
“He Has Done Great Things (Live)”is a beautiful depiction of the gospel and the sacrifice of Jesus. With inspiration from Psalm 103, it leads listeners to remember the gift of God’s everlasting love, mercy, and forgiveness.
Says Johnson, “‘He Has Done Great Things’ is one of my favorite songs I’ve been a part of writing in a long time. It takes us back to the heart of simple worship. From the writing room to the recording, this song just fell into place. I think I’ll be singing this one for the rest of my life.”
Fresh off their recent GRAMMY-nomination for “Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song” with “Holy Forever” feat. Bethel’s Jenn Johnson and gospel legend CeCe Winans, the worship collective is preparing for the release of “We Must Respond” in 2025. Recorded live earlier this year at the historic Cascade Theatre in Redding, Calif., the album features a collection of worship songs led by Bethel Music alongside guest vocalists including Abbie Gamboa, Brooke Ligertwood, and Aodhán King.
Stream & Enjoy
The upcoming compilation is inspired by a season of waiting on the Lord and reflects a deep call to worship. As Bethel’s Bill Johnson explains, the album is a response to the invitation in Psalm 46:10: “Be still and know that I am God.” It calls believers into a sacred exchange between the Spirit of God and the hearts of those who hunger for a deeper, more intimate connection with Him. In this place of surrender, true worship is birthed.
With a global reach that spans over 200 million listeners, thousands of churches using their music, and sold-out events like the Bethel Music Conference and Worship Nights, Bethel Music is one of the largest and most influential worship collectives in the world. Since its inception in 2001 (co-founded by Brian and Jenn Johnson), the collective has released 18 albums, produced multiple Gold and Platinum-certified albums, and consistently reached the top of the Billboard Christian Music charts with powerful songs like “Reckless Love,” “It Is Well,” and “Goodness of God.” Hitting a new stride over the last few years, the collective has continually ranked #6 in the top 10 radio market share and their impactful music continues to resonate across the globe.
Two-time GRAMMY Award nominee and multi-talented artist Blessing Offor has officially released his latest EP, Covers. The four-song offering features his soulful and unique take on Frank Ocean’s “Godspeed,” Taylor Swift’s “Holy Ground,” John Mayer’s “Gravity,” and Bob Dylan’s “Make You Feel My Love” featuring Bob Lanzetti of Snarky Puppy.
Previously only available via Amazon Music, Blessing’s version of “Godspeed” marks one of his top streamed songs across all platforms. This also marks the first time “Holy Ground,” and “Gravity” have been available outside of Apple Music.
“All of these songs have inspired me in some way; both the artists that performed them and the songwriting itself” shares Blessing. “What makes a song brilliant is that there is an element of universality to it. Everyone can relate and can see themselves in the verses and chorus. When I hear a timeless song, it makes me immediately want to go to my piano, or guitar, and pay homage by learning it and learning from it. These are a few that I’m particularly proud to showcase.”

Curb Records band Sidewalk Prophets drops convicting ballad “I Apologize”. As their final release of 2024, “I Apologize” continues the group’s journey toward their fifth studio album, Looking Up, arriving Feb. 14, 2025. Fans can pre-save, pre-add and pre-order the forthcoming collection.
Grappling with pride, Sidewalk Prophets confesses their shortcomings on “I Apologize,” issuing a humble apology for the many ways we, as Christ followers, let our misguided judgements or stubborn self-righteousness dictate our response.
As the chart-topping outfit attests, people often miss Jesus because we don’t represent Him well; and sometimes, the best thing we can do is offer these simple words: “I’m sorry.” The piano-led, string-laden selection was written by frontman Dave Frey, along with Ben McDonald, Jonathan Gamble, and Justin Richards; and produced by Mark Campbell, as well as Sidewalk Prophets members Cal Joslin and Dan Macal.
“This song was inspired by a girl who was raised in the church, and through a series of heartbreaking events, ended up being disowned by her family and everyone she loved and trusted,” Frey shares. “What do you say to someone who put their faith in the church, only to have their life destroyed by the people representing it? ‘I am sorry’ is a small, but good start.”
Sidewalk Prophets kicks off their beloved “Great Big Family Christmas” tour tonight (12/6) in Traverse City, Mich. The band will make a dozen festive stops before wrapping the annual run in Farmville, Va., on Dec. 22, 2024.
“It features some of our best and brightest artists and we hope it brings you the same joy that we felt putting it together. We can not ignore the enormous sacrifice that God did by sending his son down to Earth to save us. As you listen, we hope it brings you that reminder that God truly loves each and every one of you.” – Lance Brown, DREAM Label Group
