Jason, Heidi Houser & Family

Jason Houser is a songwriter, worship leader, and the founder of the Seeds Family Worship ministry. Looking back from here, he never would have imagined that leading worship at his church’s Vacation Bible School in 2002 would mark the beginning of the Seeds ministry. He has seen God’s faithfulness as he has written, recorded, and produced over 150 scripture worship songs over the past 15 years. He has been able to work with many gifted artists, worship leaders, and songwriters to bring these records to life including Matthew West, Tiffany Lee (Plumb), Jared Anderson (Rescue, Amazed), and Philip & Jessica Morlan.

In addition to his work with Seeds, Jason is a Grammy-nominated songwriter that has co-written recent chart-topping radio singles with Matthew West including “Broken Things” and “All In“.  He and West also co-wrote 2 ASCAP Songs of the Year together “The Motions” and “More” and co-wrote Joy Williams #1 single “Hide”.

Jason co-wrote a parenting book called “Dedicated: Training Children To Trust and Follow Jesus” (Zondervan). The book, co-written with Pastor Bobby Harrington and Chad Harrington, shares the biblical principles that formed a foundation for the Houser family when their children were young. The book also shares the Seeds Family Worship story

John, Julie Majors & Family

John and his wife Julie met in college while both active as students with Campus Crusade for Christ (now Cru). After graduation, they married and started serving full time in college ministry. During their time on campus, they noticed how much of what shapes a college student comes directly from their parents: the good, bad, and even the ugly. Seeing this caused their burden to serve in family ministry to grow, eventually leading to them serving with FamilyLife.

It was in this season where their passion for helping families connect and parents intentionally invest in their children grew. They came to see that great resources were one of the best tools toward that end. 

John helped create projects like The Art of Marriage, Stepping Up, and Passport2Purity. He wrote, produced, and hosted Passport2Identity, and the companion book True Identity. John has taught Bible classes internationally in Rwanda and Fiji. His whole family lived in Fiji as missionaries for half of 2018. Together John and Julie speak on marriage across the country at Weekend to Remember conferences.

John met Jason Houser through their collaboration on Passport2Purity and Passport2Identity, for which Seeds created the Journey Album. John & Jason’s friendship grew and over time they came to envision working together to help families memorize Scripture around the family table. After Twenty years of serving with FamilyLife and Cru, John began working with Seeds in 2019.

John and Julie share a passion for the family table since it is one of the most measurable predictors of family health. The more undistracted meals a family shares together, the healthier they tend to be, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. And every meal makes a measurable difference. John’s burden is to create the tools to make faith training easy at the table, and Julie’s burden is to help families capture a vision for the role good food plays in bringing families to the table and shaping family culture. John’s work with Seeds focuses on writing family devotions and blogs to come alongside families in their efforts to memorize Scripture and to help parents intentionally pass on their faith to their family. John also co-hosts The Bottom Line Books Podcast, a show that summarizes books for those that want to read more.

John and Julie live with their three children in Little Rock, Arkansas.
