Braden has been serving in the church since 2012. In 2018, he transitioned from Badin Baptist Church to Crosspoint West in Concord, NC, where he took on the role of worship pastor. In 2020, Crosspoint West relocated to Albemarle, NC, and became Rekindled Church, a church plant under the leadership of Pastor Wilson Moore and his wife, Tessa Moore. As of December 2022, Braden has been called into eldership at Rekindled, an ordained position on the same level as a pastoral role.

This calling led Braden to step away from performing in some venues where he had previously been well received. After years of sensing the call to sing for the glory of God and the exaltation of Jesus Christ, Braden finally submitted to it. Out of this calling, a new band, Harwood, was formed, embracing the same mission. Their first full-length record is well underway, with recording in progress. The band's debut single, "Let The People Know," is expected to release on low-power FM stations internationally in May 2023.

Along with Harwood, Braden plays guitar and sings for Conviction Notice, a christian rock band also from Albemarle, NC. Braden Has been with them since September 2008. Conviction Notice is currently writing and recording new material. 

Braden also leads worship with Rekindled Church in their church band called, Rekindled Worship. It's essentially Conviction Notice. But, all praise and worship material. And yes, Rekindled Worship writes original music as well.

Braden Harwood as a solo artist still exists. He has new music coming out August 30th, 2024. Be sure to check Spotify and iTunes for it. 

Harwood started in 2020 with the release of their first record, Cry Out. It's been 2 1/2 years since. Now another full length effort is coming to fruition. Let the People Know is the first single from the record. Show dates and more music are shaping up. If you happen to have an independent or Low Power FM channel in your area you just may hear this new song playing on your radio. Let the People Know is also available on all streaming platforms.
