Ardent Worship: Skillet Live (2000)

Ardent Worship: Skillet Live is a live worship album by the Christian rock band Skillet, released on September 29, 2000 by Ardent Records and ForeFront Records, seven months after the release of their third album Invincible. It was later distributed by INO Records and Sony Music. The album was produced by Skidd Mills.

It was released as a series of three worship albums by Skillet, along with All Together Separate and Satellite Soul on the Ardent label as Ardent Worship. This live album from Skillet consists of five original songs written by John Cooper, the track "Sing to the Lord" written by Korey Cooper and four worship covers. Lori Peters is the new drummer, replacing Trey McClurkin, although McClurkin and original member Ken Steorts play with Cooper on the final two songs "Safe With You" and Darlene Zschech's worship anthem "Shout to the Lord."

The live album debuted and peaked at number 33 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart and in 2001 was nominated for a Dove Award for Praise and Worship Album of the Year.
