Two-time GRAMMY nominee and four-time DOVE Award winner Joseph Habedank is entering a new chapter of worship with the release of his latest project, The Worship Album, available now through Gaither Music Group on streaming platforms and as a CD, concert DVD and television special.

Produced by Nick Schwarz, the 12-track collection brings Habedank’s distinctive voice to a selection of contemporary worship favorites, including “I Speak Jesus,” “Holy Forever,” “Goodness of God,” “Way Maker,” “10,000 Reasons,” and “Graves Into Gardens.” The project’s focus track, “Firm Foundation (He Won’t),” sits at the heart of the collection, reflecting the album’s central message of faith, dependence and unwavering hope.

While Habedank has built a celebrated career through powerful performances and songs shaped by his personal testimony, The Worship Album allows him to approach familiar worship songs from a deeply personal perspective. His journey of recovery and redemption gives the project an added sense of authenticity, transforming the collection into more than a set of covers. It becomes an expression of gratitude for the faith that carried him through difficult seasons.

“‘Firm Foundation (He Won’t)’ is one of those songs I wish I could have sung to myself years ago,” Habedank says. “There are seasons when everything feels shaky, and this song tells the truth about what does not move.”

That message runs throughout the project. From the celebratory energy of “Rattle!” and “House of the Lord” to the reflective spirit of “Gratitude” and “Goodness of God,” Habedank delivers each song with the vocal strength and emotional conviction that have become central to his artistry.

The project also brings Habedank’s live performance to the forefront. Recorded at The Mulehouse in Columbia, Tennessee, the accompanying concert DVD and television special capture the singer leading the songs before a live audience. The production features special appearances from Scotty Inman, Jake Hess III, Autumn Nelon and Riley Harrison Clark, adding another layer to the worship experience.

The album’s release follows the advance singles “Agnus Dei/Worthy of It All” and “Goodness of God,” which introduced listeners to the project’s worship-centered direction. Habedank’s rendition of “I Speak Jesus” also fits naturally alongside his testimony-driven catalog, while “Holy Forever” provides another standout moment of collective praise.

For Gaither Music Group, the project represents a natural progression for an artist whose music has consistently connected personal testimony with faith.

“Joseph has always led with authenticity, and The Worship Album is a natural extension of both his artistry and his faith,” said Paul Sizelove, President of Sun Label Group and Gaither Music Group. “These are songs that have encouraged millions of believers around the world, and Joseph brings them to life with the conviction of someone who has experienced God’s grace firsthand.”

With The Worship Album, Habedank reaches beyond a single audience, bringing together longtime Gaither listeners, contemporary Christian fans, worship audiences and those who have followed his remarkable journey of recovery and restoration.

The project’s visual component will also expand its reach through a television special airing across multiple networks, including TBN, RFD-TV, TCT, The Word Network, Vision, The Walk TV, TLN, Hope TV, The Miracle Channel, CTS, CTN and Heartland. A radio special will also premiere on SiriusXM Radio, with songs from the album featured on Bill Gaither’s SiriusXM enLighten channel.

From its live recording to its collection of widely loved worship songs, The Worship Album finds Joseph Habedank using music to reflect on where he has been, celebrate where he is and point listeners toward the God he credits for carrying him through it all.
