The 18 Inch Journey with Jonathan Helser

“I write my best songs when I get lost in His presence” - Jonathan Helser.

Jonathan and Melissa Helser long to empower those they encounter with the truth that Jesus died to be with us and vibrantly lives inside of us. In 2007, The Helsers hosted their first discipleship school called the 18 Inch Journey, named for the distance between the head and the heart.

Jonathan joined us to speak on the mission of this school, spontaneous worship moments, and the unique recording process of The Land I’m Livin' In: “We wanted this school and this land to be embedded into the fabric of the album.”
