LOS ANGELES (March 1,2024) — Bethel Music’s Gold certified singer/songwriter and worship leader Josh Baldwin, announces the release of his highly anticipated full-length live album, “MADE FOR MORE.” Available today with focus track “Thank You Jesus” (and corresponding music video), the eight-track project features a mix of powerful and inspiring original songs that encourage listeners to point their eyes and hearts to the God who is worthy of praise and leave them in awe and wonder of the person and power of Jesus. Listen to “MADE FOR MORE” here and watch Baldwin’s brand-new music video for “Thank You Jesus” here.

“This album has been such an important project for me,” says Baldwin. “What I love most about it is that all of these songs came out of different seasons my family and I have been and are still walking through––calling on the Lord to be our help and our Prince of Peace through all of the ups and downs of life. These songs are anthems that I’ve been singing over myself and my family, reminding myself who the Lord is in me and who He’s called me to be. The heart of this album, and my heart for every person who listens, is that they would be reminded that they’ve been redeemed and called by name.”

“Made For More” is Baldwin’s seventh solo project and follow up to his 2022 release, “Where The Glory Is.” Written to inspire, encourage, and point hearts back to their Creator, the album consists of songs that Baldwin wrote from his heart for the local church and corporate worship. Throughout each track, he leads listeners back to the true intention and purpose of worship music drawing inspiration from Isaiah 43:1,which says, “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.”

Featuring captivating melodies, “MADE FOR MORE” provides listeners with powerful songs to remind them of their purpose as a child of God, as through the album’s title track and “Prince Of Peace,” which was born out of a personal encounter with Jesus through a battle with anxiety. Focus track “Thank You Jesus” also serves a beautiful reminder of the miracle of salvation and thankfulness in knowing that the Savior of the world calls us a friend of God.

Baldwin is known for his songs “Praises,” featured on Bethel Music’s “Have it All,” “You Deserve It All,” from his solo project “Rivers,” and “Stand in Your Love,” a song featured on Bethel Music’s album “VICTORY” (2019) which reached #2 on the Christian Billboard charts. His gold certified single “Stand in Your Love” reached No. 2 on the Billboard Christian charts and garnered Baldwin his first K-LOVE nominations as “Breakout Single of the Year” and “Worship Song of the Year.”
