Fact: Meant to be a catalyst for other
worship communities to take hold of what it
means to “not be shaken,” We Will Not Be
Shaken’s title track was birthed in a
spontaneous moment of worship on a
Sunday morning service at Bethel.

Music is the worship ministry of
Bethel Church. We Will Not Be
Shaken is a live CD/DVD recorded during an
intimate evening of worship lead by the
Bethel Music Artist Collective, which
includes Brian Johnson, Jenn Johnson,
Hunter Thompson, Amanda Cook and Matt
Stinton, as well as debut artists Kalley
Heiligenthal, Hannah McClure, Paul
McClure, Jonathan David Helser and
Melissa Helser.
Recorded as a live CD/DVD, We Will Not Be
Shaken includes 11 all new original songs
from Bethel Music. It is an out-and-out
worship release, on which each track
contains lyrics that praise and glorify God,
and point toward His faithfulness, love, and
grace.
As for the DVD portion of the release, it
was filmed in a beautiful setting on a
mountaintop overlooking Shasta Lake
north of Redding, CA, providing a
magnificent view alongside the worship
set. It truly captures the energy and
sincerity expressed by both the worship
team and the audience. Considering the
setting, and the fact that the live video was
filmed in the evening (it transitions from
day to night), the cinematography and
directing were expertly handled. Needless
to say, the production is great on all fronts.
Because of the vast number of contributing
artists/vocalists/songwriters present on We
Will Not Be Shaken, every track is
bestowed with a certain uniqueness, and
each one is superb at that. We Will Not Be
Shaken is a beautiful worship album, only
made that much better with the
accompanying visual aspect provided.
