Jonathan David Helser Part 2 Episode 2

Jonathan Helser Chapter 2

 

Summary:

 

In episode 2 of the Worship Union Podcast, host Suzy Yaraei continues her conversation with Jonathan Helser (part 2) about cultivating an honest and free spirit in worship. Jonathan shares part of their journey in building their beautiful community the Cageless Birds and the growth of the 18 Inch Journey transformational schools, camps, and retreats at Place for the Heart in Sophia, NC; from very humble beginnings.

 

We also discuss the importance of starting and ending the day with a focus on God instead of all the distractions life throws our way.

 

Overall, this episode encourages listeners to be honest and vulnerable in their worship, to simplify their approach, and to prioritize God's presence in their daily lives. It offers practical tips and insights for deepening one's worship union with Christ.

 SHOW NOTES!

A few fabulous quotes from Jonathan:

 

“Dare to be honest in the Lord’s presence.”

 

“Dream big: build small and faithfully.”

 

“…find out what God’s definition of success for your life is.”

 

a most holy moment-

 

(“This feels like the most distracted generation that has ever been)-

 

 “Can I be the first thing you see in the morning and the last thing you see at night. What if you looked at me before you look at your screen.”

Fave scripture now: 

 

Ps 23. NLT

 

The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.
 He lets me rest in green meadows;
  He leads me beside peaceful streams.
 He renews my strength. 

He guides me along right paths,bringing honor to his name.
 Even when I walk through the darkest valley, 
 I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.
 Your rod and your staff  protect and comfort me.
 You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.
 You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
  My cup overflows with blessings.

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
 all the days of my life and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

 

Best quick advice ever received-

 

Slow Down

 

A thought to end with-

 

“Slow down and say to God, ‘Here’s my heart. Here I am. Beautiful Holy Spirit- show me what the Father’s really like.’”
