Today is the beginning of an ongoing series here on the blog. My goal is to give some visibility to incredible worship artists that you may or may not have heard of. One of them is Harbour Live in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
From their website:
Harbour Live is the family of worship leaders and musicians at the The Harbour Church. Hungry for real encounters with the living God, our music is just a shadow of the lives we live with Jesus. We’re committed to writing songs that exalt God and His Kingdom in the earth, and we’re passionate about resourcing the Body of Christ with music that is grounded in the Word and Spirit of God.
Allow me to say that I was BLOWN AWAY by this album. First of all, I had never heard of them and I consider myself a worship music nerd. And second, because the worship songs are incredibly well done and fresh. I was also surprised to see Jeremy Edwardson in the producer’s chair. Many of you know of his work as lead singer of The Myriad, as well as producer of all Bethel Church and Jesus Culture albums. He is, in my opinion, the best producer in Christian music today. And it shines on this album.
This is already becoming one of my favorite worship albums of the year. Great voices, massive music, and a contagious longing for the Presence of God.
Justin Jarvis, worship leader at The Harbour, has graciously agreed to give me 5 copies of the album to give away here at davidsantistevan.com.
This contest is now closed.
Here are the 5 winners:
- Jenilee Goodwin
- Keri Welch
- Elizabeth Rhyno
- Jon Manna
- Chris Luzier
If you did not win, I strongly suggest you buy this album and support this fantastic church. You won’t be disappointed!
Jon Manna says
Hay David! I’d love to get my hands on this project. I typically am a “worship music nerd” as well and would love to be able to recommend them to other worship leaders.
Tweeted the post as well!
David Santistevan says
Thanks Jon!
Jason Bunch says
I would love a copy of this cd because I am always on the lookout for new music. Thanks for recommending them.
David Santistevan says
No problem, Jason! Thanks.
Jeff Q says
As an aspiring worship music nerd, I would definitely enjoy a copy of this one. We should always be on the lookout for new music and influences to keep us fresh.

David Santistevan says
Worship music nerds of the world, unite!
@iambendavis says
I don’t listen to a lot of Christian music… including worship music. Give the CD to me and let’s see if it’s that impressive.
David Santistevan says
It’s on now!
Jimmy Fabrizio says
Hey Dave, I’m no worship music nerd, but I am a Jesus nerd, and I love worshiping Him!! So for that reason I would love have a copy of this CD!
David Santistevan says
Thanks Jimmy. I like Jesus nerds.
Paul Maxwell says
HEy Dave, I’m Jimmy’s friend and think he’s really cool and want to be like him, so I want to listen to this cd!!!

Hey dave i help lead worship at church and just love to listen to worship music as much as i can and the more i can get my hands on the better. I love hearing new worship artists to listen to. I know i would love this cd
Eric Haley says
Hey I’d like to win the CD because I love everything Jeremy Edwardson has produced in the past and if you are recommending it, it’s definitely worth having.
David Santistevan says
Haha! Thanks buddy!
Brandon says
Awesome! I’d love to have this album! From what you wrote, I think it would not only be worshipful to listen to, but it would give me some great ideas!
Chris Luzier says
Hey Dave! First of all thanks for doing this. Second I found this out via Jimmy so I think he definitely deserves a copy. If I win too that’s icing on the cake. I’d use it for inspiration as I play guitar in worship to God.
David Santistevan says
Thanks Chris. I am going to randomly select winners, so I hope Jimmy gets one too 🙂 Thanks for the comment!
Mike says
Bro, I want this disc because I am flesh and blood family… and family comes first. just sayin’
David Santistevan says
who are we to judge?
Tony Alicea says
Hey David. I just want to say thank you for this. I’m part of the Harbour community and I’m so excited about what God is doing with this album. I hope the 5 winners are as blessed by it as I have been.
David Santistevan says
Tony, I’m honestly super blessed by the album. It’s a refreshing listen for sure and it’s an honor to promote it. Keep up the good work down there!
Andy says
agreed
Mike Steinsdoerfer says
I like ponies. Therefore I should receive this album.
David Santistevan says
awesome
Andy says
This album is amazing. Knowing the lives of those who share their musical gifts on it, I can attest to the fact that they are not only amazing musicians, but passionate lovers of Jesus desiring to host the presence of the Holy Spirit in worship. You can sense this when listening and joining in. If you don’t win a free cd, download a copy on itunes…you won’t regret it.
David Santistevan says
this comment comes from the inner circle, folks. Credibility!
Elizabeth Rhyno says
Hmmm…well I love the Lord, love to lead worship, I’m mentoring worship leaders in a Bible College….and I really like the cover of that album! Therefore, I would like to have it! 🙂 (I also tweeted your post @erhyno)
David Santistevan says
Elizabeth, those are all fantastic things. You’re cool.
Ryan Gordon says
Bottom line – if David Santistevan says this album needs to be in my top iTunes playlist, then it needs to be in my top iTunes playlist. And who doesn’t love free stuff? Gonna go give it a listen now…
David Santistevan says
haha. ryan, I miss you.
Josh Jessup says
I would love to listen to this album…I love worship music, love worship music…and music that glorifies God! Thank you for your work! I shall tweet it! @jjless
David Santistevan says
you love worship music…twice. You have a real good chance 🙂
Chris Deeves says
Sounds like a great album – I’m a fan of Bethel and Jesus Culture – would love to get this CD!
Marsha Truskowski says
Marsha wonders about “ponies” and also reads Andy’s recommendation for this album. I would like to raise my hand to be a potential recipient of this worship dvd.
David Santistevan says
If only it was a DVD 🙁 It’s only a CD but it is great!
Melissa Sarlo says
I love worship. Its my passion. Im always looking for new music to sing. worship lifts me up and brings me to my knees in awe of a Loving Savior!
Sharon says
Because…..??? It is all that!
David Santistevan says
Indeed!
Keri says
I want one because Tony says it’s awesome and I want to be just like Tony. JK! But, seriously, I’ve heard some good stuff about this album. As someone who lives on the West Coast, it would be cool to hear some East Coast worship love.
David Santistevan says
Awesome!
Jason says
How bout I buy one, then you give me one to give to someone else….? eh?
David Santistevan says
That just may happen, Jason 🙂 The winners will be chosen through a random selection. No favoritism here 🙂
Amanda says

David Rosenblum says
Bro… Love track 3! I’d also love to have the whole album 😉 <—- THIS SIDEWAYS SMILING WINK FACE SHOULD ALSO MAKE YOU WANT TO GIVE ME ONE.
David Santistevan says
It does really motivate me to give you one. Let me pray about it.
Dana sheheane says
I would LOVE this cd. I have two little kids and they LOVE listening on my phone but we need it loud and in the car!!! The coolest part is that they are 1 and 2 and already love worship music!! Yeah! Mary Kay is incredible. I went to high school with her and am so proud!!!
Kate Griffin says
I want this album because:
1. I’ve known you as long as you’ve been born
2. We’re partners in crime making history for Jesus at APC
3. A woman with-child loves gifts of any kind – especially a new CD
4. I sang one of your originals this AM – come on, now!
