Melanie Penn brings a fresh, intimate sound to the Christmas story with Immanuel: The Acoustic Sessions (Deluxe), a 13-track collection released October 23. Blending acoustic folk, country, and traditional Christmas influences, this project invites listeners to experience the birth of Jesus through the eyes of the people who witnessed the miracle firsthand. Produced by longtime collaborator Ben Shive, the album features talented musicians from Nashville’s roots music community, creating a warm, thoughtful sound that beautifully complements the story being told.
Among the highlights are three new original songs, each offering a unique perspective on that first Christmas. “Follow the Star (Magi)” follows the Wise Men as they journey to worship the newborn King, while “Immanuel (Shepherd)” captures the wonder of a shepherd hearing the angels announce Jesus’ birth. “There Is Room for You Here (Innkeeper)” extends a beautiful invitation to welcome Christ not only into the story of Bethlehem, but into our own hearts.

ELEVATION LIVING ROOM – “BULLS & GOATS”
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full song.
Meet ELEVATION LIVING ROOM, a fresh new worship collective emerging from Elevation Church’s high school ministry! What began as a Sunday night Bible study has grown into a weekly gathering of students pursuing Jesus together, with worship music inspired by their faith and experiences. Now, this exciting new group is making its debut with “BULLS & GOATS,” an energetic song proclaiming the life-changing power of Jesus’ sacrifice.
The title might sound a little unusual at first, but it points to a powerful truth from Hebrews 10:4: the blood of bulls and goats could never take away our sins. The song celebrates how Jesus, the spotless Lamb of God, accomplished what no other sacrifice could do. Through His death on the cross, He paid the price for our sin once and for all, opening the way for us to come into God’s presence and receive salvation.
With its bold sound and unapologetic message, “BULLS & GOATS” is a reminder that our salvation isn’t something we can earn through our own efforts. It is a gift made possible through Jesus and His finished work on the cross. We’re excited to introduce ELEVATION LIVING ROOM to FishWorship and look forward to seeing what this next generation of worship leaders brings to Christian music!

Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full song.
Bethel Music worship leader and songwriter Jordan Colle invites us into a heartfelt expression of worship with his new single, “Worthy of All of It.” Released October 23, this powerful song reflects on the countless reasons Jesus deserves our praise and challenges us to offer Him every part of our lives. Written alongside Ethan Hulse and David Leonard, the song combines an intimate, personal approach to worship with a message that reaches far beyond Sunday morning.
Inspired by Isaiah 40 and Romans 11:33–36, “Worthy of All of It” celebrates the greatness of God, the depth of His love, and the freedom we receive through Jesus’ death and resurrection. Colle draws from his own experiences of God’s faithfulness through seasons of stress, uncertainty, and change, reminding us that even when life feels overwhelming, God remains worthy of our trust and devotion.
One of the most meaningful aspects of this song is its honest recognition that giving God everything isn’t always easy. Our fears, questions, and human weaknesses can get in the way, but God’s worthiness never changes. Whether we’re walking through a difficult season or simply looking for a fresh way to express our gratitude to the Lord, this song encourages us to surrender every part of our lives to the One who gave everything for us.

Mark Bishop – “Unpack That Suitcase”
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full song.
Southern Gospel favorite Mark Bishop is back with a brand-new single, “Unpack That Suitcase,” an upbeat, country-flavored song with an important message for anyone who feels weighed down by life’s troubles. Released October 23 through Sonlite Records, this toe-tapping track takes a familiar image—a suitcase filled with things we carry around—and turns it into a meaningful reminder that we don’t have to bear every burden on our own.
Bishop draws inspiration from Jesus’ invitation to come to Him and find rest, reminding us that worries, grudges, hurt feelings, jealousy, and anger can gradually become heavy baggage. Sometimes we convince ourselves that we can handle everything alone, until the weight becomes too much. But Jesus offers us a better way. As Bishop reminds us in the song, the Lord invites us to come to Him because His burden is light.
With its lively country sound and relatable message, “Unpack That Suitcase” encourages us to stop carrying around the things that weigh down our hearts and let Jesus help us find freedom and peace. We all have burdens we were never meant to carry alone. What a wonderful reminder that we can bring our worries to the Lord, trust Him with our struggles, and experience the relief that comes from placing them in His hands.

Josiah Queen – “out of breath”
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full song.
Josiah Queen has a powerful new song for us with “out of breath,” the opening track from his brand-new album Damascus Road. Blending his signature folk-rock sound with soaring guitars and an anthemic chorus, Queen delivers a passionate declaration about making every moment of our lives count for Jesus. Inspired by the biblical story of Paul’s dramatic encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus, this song challenges us to think about our own walk with the Lord and the legacy we’re building with the time we’ve been given.
The heart of “out of breath” is captured in its central desire: to reach Heaven having given everything we’ve got to serving Jesus. Queen doesn’t want to look back on a life spent sitting on the sidelines or settling for a lukewarm faith. Instead, he wants to run the race with purpose, share the Gospel boldly, and keep his eyes fixed on the eternal reward that awaits us. It’s a reminder that our time on earth is precious, and every day is an opportunity to let God’s light shine through us.
What a great challenge for all of us! Following Jesus isn’t meant to be something we squeeze into our schedules when it’s convenient. Our faith should shape how we live, how we love others, and how we share the hope we’ve found in Christ. “out of breath” encourages us to run our race faithfully, pursue God’s calling wholeheartedly, and look forward to the day we hear those wonderful words: “Well done.”

Jordan Rowe – “If Jesus Lived In My Hometown”
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full song.
What if Jesus walked the streets of your hometown today? That’s the thought-provoking question behind “If Jesus Lived In My Hometown,” the brand-new single from country singer-songwriter Jordan Rowe. Blending his Southern roots with his love for Jesus, Rowe brings a fresh perspective to familiar biblical stories, imagining what the miracles and ministry of Christ might look like in the everyday places and familiar faces of a small Southern town.
Released October 23, the song marks an exciting new chapter for Rowe as his first release under a joint venture between Capitol Christian Music Group and Tape Room Music. But beyond the milestone in his career, it’s the song’s central question that really makes you stop and think. If Jesus were walking through our neighborhoods, visiting our local gathering places, and meeting the people we encounter every day, where would we find ourselves in His story? Would we be among those who welcomed Him, those who needed His healing touch, or those who struggled to believe?
Rowe hopes listeners will take that question personally. Jesus didn’t come only for the people we read about in the Bible. He came for us, too, meeting us right where we are and inviting us into a life-changing relationship with Him. “If Jesus Lived In My Hometown” encourages us to look beyond the familiar routines of everyday life and consider how we might respond if we encountered the Savior face to face. It’s a great reminder that the Jesus we read about in Scripture is the same Jesus who is still changing lives today.

Tommis & Company – “Your Name Is Jesus (Acoustic)”
Apple Music subscribers: Sign in above to hear the full song.
Tommis & Company brings a fresh, intimate worship sound to their new acoustic single, “Your Name Is Jesus (Acoustic).” The Albuquerque-based group is part of a new generation of Christian artists blending contemporary worship with modern rock influences, creating music that is both heartfelt and focused on the Lord. This acoustic release offers a more stripped-down expression of their faith, allowing the song’s central message to take the spotlight.
There is something beautiful about simply lifting up the name of Jesus. His name reminds us of God’s love, His mercy, the forgiveness we find through the cross, and the hope we have because of His resurrection. When life becomes complicated and the world around us feels uncertain, turning our hearts toward Jesus brings us back to the One who remains faithful through every season.
“Your Name Is Jesus (Acoustic)” is an invitation to slow down, set aside distractions, and focus on the Savior who gave everything for us. Worship doesn’t always need a big production or a powerful band to make an impact. Sometimes, a simple arrangement and a sincere declaration of faith are all we need to remember who Jesus is and why He is worthy of our praise.
