Starlight is Bethel Music's first full-length album recorded live on tour. The project is a follow-up to the acclaimed You Make Me Brave (2014), with songs led by Bethel Music artists Jenn Johnson, Steffany Gretzinger, Amanda Cook, Kristene DiMarco, Kalley Heiligenthal, Melissa Helser, Hanna McClure, and Grammy-award winning guest worship leader and songwriter, Francesca Battistelli.

Starlight is anchored in the message that our lives, our world, and all eternity are held together in Jesus. Like His stars place in the universe, no distance separates us from our Creator and we are handcrafted and deeply known as children of God.

The project’s title track poetically describes God’s vastness and simultaneous nearness to us as the One closer than our next breath. Led by Battistelli, “There’s No Other Name” is a moving anthem that magnifies the power, constancy, and transformation we find in Jesus. “The War is Over” is a poignant ballad that turns attention away from strife toward the Prince of Peace. Gretzinger leads a stirring version of “King of My Heart” that leaves worshippers reveling in His goodness. Just as the night sky displays starlight that has been traveling for years to reach our eyes, may what we sow in this life bear fruit that extends to generations we will never see.

"Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and truth." 1 John 3:18. "With all that's happening in our culture today, it's easy to panic. The truth is, yes, we are living in very challenging times. But the biggest problem is not the presence of darkness but the absence of light. In Matthew 5, Jesus says that WE are the light of the world, and as times get darker, we need to shine our light brighter. My new song, "Be One" is a call to action. It's time to roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty by BEING the love of Jesus. So often I hear people say, "but what can I do? I don't have a special talent or anything remarkable about me?" To that I say: if you know Jesus, you have everything you need to make a difference. He's not looking for the spectacular. He's looking for the available. Instead of only praying for a miracle, we can BE ONE, because the power of God is working through us, and we just might find our own miracle in the middle of being one for somebody else." - NATALIE GRANT

Husband, father, singer, songwriter, worship leader, campus director at his home church in Arkansas, and now, most recently added to Zach Williams list of titles is recording artist Zach Williams first full length album, Chain Breaker, comes from a place of humility and honesty as these songs are direct reflections of Gods redemption in Williams life as he heals from a past life of addiction, darkness, and hopelessness. Says Williams, Jesus came and died on the cross so there would be a way for the chains of those struggles and addictions to be broken. If you have pain, Hes a pain taker, if youre lost, He is the way maker, and if youve got chains, Hes the chain breaker. The first step is allowing Him to come in so He can set up free. Chain Breaker, releasing March 3, 2016, is a reminder of these truths about Jesus.
