Summary:
In this impactful episode of the Worship Union Podcast, Suzy sits down with Melissa Helser, a passionate worshiper who, along with her husband Jonathan, has dedicated her life to seeing the love of God transform the earth. Melissa shares her journey of overcoming debilitating disease and finding her voice in worship. Melissa reveals that she didn't grow up singing and initially resisted the idea of being a singer. However, after experiencing intense physical pain and pressure in her early twenties, worship became her means of finding relief. When she worships- she doesn't feel the physical pain. This episode highlights the transformative nature of surrendering to God's presence. Melissa's vulnerability and authenticity serve as an inspiration for listeners to cultivate their own personal worship journey and embrace the unique way in which God speaks to them.
SHOW NOTES!
“I found my own voice by singing my prayers when I was desperate to feel relief.”
on suffering-
“I could barely open a jar much less play the guitar. My songs being born in suffering is one of the highest honors I think that I have as a friend of God. It could have turned such a different way… when I’m in worship is the only time I don’t feel pain in my body.”
Mel’s definition of worship-
“Surrender. Yieldedness. Living a life of worship is to live a life surrendered and yielded to something you trust. To fully worship the Lord is to fully trust the Lord and to surrender to trust.”
what do you want to see in the future of worship-
“What I desire is that we would continue to mature into, ‘I wanna sound like myself, I wanna sound like the expression of God within me.’
more on suffering-
“In my 20’s it was so much about the Father and this was where the Lord was anchoring me, like, ‘Melissa. If you know my nature, you will not question my motives.’ ”
“It’s time for Me to teach you how to grieve without hopelessness. When you bring Me into your grief you can grieve with hope.”
most holy moment-
“In my 20’s it was the disappointment of being sick and being a mom. But in my 30’s it was like I would have had more kids, and done different things, there’s so many different things I would have given my heart to. Those waves of grief would have been impossible to do without Jesus. He taught me how to stay with Him. The thing that Jesus has said to me more in the last 8 years is He locks eyes with me and just says, ‘Stay with me. .."
a thought to end with-
“There is a reward to consistency. It’s the assurance that God is coming. I don’t know every day how he is gonna come. But He’s coming. He comes so frequently and so often in His care of my heart. He never promised perfect. He promised His presence.”
THANKS FOR TUNING IN!
