“It’s the most incredible, humbling experience,” said Harper, “getting to meet people you’ve looked up to for years like @themercyme and @bdwmusic [Big Daddy Weave] and hearing their wisdom and insight firsthand.”

“If you haven’t seen I Can Only Imagine, I highly recommend it to get a glimpse into who these guys are,” Harper said, referring to the film based on Bart Millard’s life, the title of which comes from the band’s bestselling single. “But getting to meet them in person… seeing their hearts, their love for Jesus, and their love for each other it was so refreshing for my soul and exactly what I needed.”

“But… hearing thousands of voices lift up the name of Jesus together,” she concluded. “I don’t think I’ll ever get over that. 🤍.”
