You Make Me Brave: Live at the Civic marks the ninth album from Bethel Music, a worship group based out of Redding, California. The album was released through the group's imprint label, "Bethel Music", on April 21, 2014.[1] The album was produced by Gabriel Wilson and Daniel MacKenzie, and executively produced by Brian Johnson and Joel Taylor.[2]

Background[edit]

You Make Me Brave was recorded live at Redding's Civic Auditorium during Bethel Church's women's conference in the summer of 2013.

Critical reception[edit]

The album was reviewed by Josh White of The Church Collective saying that it is "classic Bethel", with three of the 12 tracks recorded during spontaneous moments of worship. White continues on to say that "the worship leaders from Bethel seriously outdo themselves with their musical influence, heavy synth, and wisely put-together arrangements of songs." When talking about the songs, he said "One of the songs that stuck out to me the most was Brian Johnson and Kari Jobe's "Forever." The arrangement feel and sounds like rendition of both Brian and Kari's version of the song. I was never a big fan of this song – until I heard this version. It takes every emotional influence the song has to offer, and takes it up a few notches. The title song, "You Make Me Brave," sounds and feels very, very personal. Jen said herself, "What was celebrated was what God was doing, not who was doing what. I really hope that people feel that the highlight is what the Lord is saying through the whole album versus who sang what, who did what, whose name is on what." He finally said, "All in all, this is what worship leaders want – solid, biblical, fresh songs that can speak to their people and have an amazing sound."[3]
