Melissa and Jonathan have been a part of the Bethel Music Collective since 2014, bringing with them a rich history of passionate worship. The Helser’s yearn to see a generation encounter the love of God, and their music reflects their collisions with His love.

The song was featured on Bethel Music’s VICTORY (2019) album and reached #1 on Christian Billboard charts. “No Longer Slaves”, appearing on We Will Not Be Shaken (2015) won “Worship Song of the Year” at the 47th Annual GMA Dove Awards in 2016.
