Welcome to the podcast of Jonathan David and Melissa Helster.

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

In this episode, Jonathan sits down at a piano to share one song

from every album that he and Melissa have recorded and tells the process and story

behind them. Good morning, good morning, good morning.

Is everybody had their coffee? Does anybody not drink coffee here?

All right, I'm praying for each one of you to get saved, sanctified and delivered while you're here at worship you and realize the goodness of God that waits for you in a cup.

So I'm going to attempt something.

I'm going to try to play you guys a song from each of our albums in 30 minutes and tell you a story

But I'm not promising we're going to get through all of them, but I'm going to try my best

And I want to start with a song that none of you have ever heard

I'm going to share the first song I ever wrote with you guys first worship song and I'm probably just going to play pieces of songs and share some stories and in this guys I hope you catch keys you catch values and most of all you catch inspiration the spirit inside of you, the same spirit that hovered over the

waters in the beginning that created the heavens and the earth is in you. You have that

creative force dwelling inside you and may you be inspired in this next half hour.

Yeah?

Okay, so first song I ever wrote.

I was a 19 year old skinny kid.

If you can believe this I weighed about 45 pounds less than I do right now.

So I was really skinny. And I was 19 and I was on a DTS with Y-WAM in the United Kingdom right in the heart of England and was halfway through

my DTS and we had a speaker one day speaking.

I knew a few chords on guitar at this point. It just started playing.

And the guy's sharing was sharing about the kingdom of God.
