Bethel Music’s Gold-certified singer/songwriter and worship leader Josh Baldwin has reached a career milestone this week with his first-ever #1 single, “Made For More.”
The global worship anthem topped both the Mediabase Christian AC and Christian Audience charts. To celebrate, Baldwin is releasing a multi-track version of the single, featuring live (with Jenn Johnson), acoustic, and studio renditions. Listen to “MADE FOR MORE”
A song that calls listeners back to the identity and purpose placed on their life as a child of God, “Made For More” is a powerful declaration and reminder that the Creator of the universe calls each of us by name (Isaiah 43:1), bringing us from death into life.
Baldwin’s original album version of the song has amassed over 14.2 million global streams to date, reaching No. 1 on the Radio Mediabase Charts and No. 10 on Billboard’s Audience Chart, making it Baldwin’s fastest growing single to date.
In addition to its radio success, “Made For More” is resonating deeply within church communities, becoming an instrumental part of worship services across the country. The song has also made a significant impact on the CCLI charts, where it continues to rise as worship leaders and congregations embrace its powerful message of identity and purpose in Christ.
“It’s been so special for me to watch people connect with this song,” says Baldwin. “Going on the road and hearing people declare these lyrics of identity and purpose over their lives has given me a fresh perspective of the impact songs can have on us. I’m excited for everyone to hear a few new versions of ‘Made For More!'”
