    Lifelines for the “Highs” and “Lows” of Life | Jonathan Helser at Studio Church Greenville

    In this episode of the podcast, Jonathan shares about the “What” and the “Why” of the Cageless Birds’ heart for discipleship. This message is beautifully full of personal stories, scriptural insight, practical keys and spiritual practices for walking with (and staying with) Jesus for the long haul. It can be hard to describe what Jesus does on our campus during the schools and retreats that we host, but our prayer is that as you listen you’ll catch our passion for what God is doing. We truly believe that discipleship can change the world!This message was originally recorded in 2025 at Studio Church in Greenville, SCThe mission of the Cageless Birds is to respond to the commission of Jesus and make disciples of all nations. As a ministry, we fulfill this by running discipleship programs and retreats focused on spiritual formation, by leading worship and writing songs for people to encounter the heart of God and remember who they truly are, and by creating resources to build up the body of Christ.
