Welcome to the podcast of Jonathan David and Melissa Helzer.

Our prayer is that you would encounter God's heart as you listen today.

As we head into 2020, we are so grateful for the many of you who are listening along

and for all the testimonies you've shared.

Stay tuned this year for new content and conversations with Jonathan and Melissa as we go deeper

into the heart of God together.

In this episode, Jonathan gives an inspiring message about living a life of honest connection and authentic worship with the father.

So, this is my last session with you guys.

I got to teach four times and tomorrow I get to go home to my beautiful wife But I will miss you guys. It's been an honor to be here and I had someone come up to me in the hallway yesterday and they're like oh oh my gosh, it's so good to meet you,

you're like one of my worship heroes.

And when they said it was like so much honor, and then you're like, are we allowed to have

worship heroes? You know what I mean?

And I just asked the Lord, I was like,

Lord are we allowed to have heroes?

And he says, he said to me, yes,

if it inspires them to find their own song.

So if my song inspires you to find your own song,

and I can look back at my life and I had heroes, Don Potter was a hero. Kevin Prosh was a hero. But they sang about

something and in their song I felt a rumor that there was more and it caused me on my own

to go find my own song.

And you know, I was thinking about like, well, who's my hero on the earth right now in worship?

There's a lot of good stuff happening, yeah?
