I want to get the message out there for everyone to spread a bit of Joy everywhere they go, today and every day of the year. -Franklin

Mission House wasn’t a band at the beginning. Taylor Leonhardt and Jess Ray simply gathered a group of friends and strangers who were compelled to sit around a table and sing songs about Jesus together.

Recorded in Dallas, TX, “Family Nights, Vol. 1: All Your Heart” is a return to Mission House’s roots, capturing the essence of their early days which centers on the reality that we are loved by God and deeply in need of Him:

“As much as we try to build a life outside God, it is never as good as we imagine it to be,” Taylor said. “But the arms of Jesus are also roomier than we ever imagined, and there is room for you in there.” “Family Nights, Vol. 1: All Your Heart” is a stripped-back album highlighting the beauty of community with many voices recorded in the mix.

Mission House wanted to make it a singalong project, one that listeners can come back to for encouragement on the journey of life. The new album was greatly inspired by the band’s personal lives over the last few years, “which has included doubt and suffering and some of the hardest stories we’ve ever had to live through,” Taylor added.

“Family Nights, Vol. 1: All Your Heart” tells that Mission House is still convinced that a life spent looking for God is not only a good life, it’s a beautiful one.

Thrive Worship introduces their new EP for the festive season, “Christmas Volume 1.” As a worship team, they’ve been putting together their own arrangements of Christmas classics each year for their church’s Christmas events.

The joy and wonder shared through these songs sparked their desire to share their versions with worshippers beyond their church walls. “These songs have a deep theological Christmas messaging,” said band member Chris Fox, “but the packaging is high energy and fun.” “Christmas Volume 1” is a project full of hope, joy, and light – reflecting the gift that God brought to earth in the form of his Son at Christmas.

Today, internationally renowned and GRAMMY Nominated collective Bethel Music welcomes its newest member with the addition of Edward Rivera. To celebrate the announcement, Rivera has released his debut solo single, “Nothing Else.” The powerful song is a reminder that once you have seen the goodness of God, nothing else in life will satisfy. 

Through “Nothing Else,” Rivera leads the listener into a moment of remembrance of how sweet and near the Holy Spirit is in everyday life.

“Nothing Else” came at a perfect time in my life,” shares Rivera. “I had just wrapped a year-long tour and I was feeling like I missed something. When the tour was done, I was able to process what I witnessed. I realized that all the applause and support my friends, family, and followers were giving me for all the ministry work I had just completed didn’t do anything for me. It was as if my soul was reminding me that none of that mattered. I think this song is a reminder to all of us to not lose our focus. And should we wander off, this song will lead the vagabonds back home! Back to what really matters in this world which is Jesus!“

Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, Edward Rivera is the newest member of the Bethel Music Collective. He first began performing in school at 16 and started to lead worship at 17 after being called to speak to the marginalized, the prodigals, and the unreached. After graduating high school, Rivera joined a traveling worship choir through LABI and was eventually invited to sing background vocals for artists on tour. This kicked off a six-year-long career before leading as an artist himself. Following an extensive season of touring with worship artists such as Christine D’Clario, Barak, and Maverick City Musica. Rivera found his home with Bethel Music in 2021. His debut single, “Nothing Else,” is a reminder to not lose focus on what really matters in this world, the message and salvation of Jesus. Rivera’s hope is to guide others, especially those within the entertainment industry, back to the church by spreading the good news through music.
