Nelson at the Helm has released their new single, “Belief.” The indie pop/alternative track finds the husband-and-wife duo leaning fully into honest faith, echoing the prayer of Mark 9:24–“I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” With tender verses and a raw, soaring chorus, “Belief” captures the tension between certainty and doubt, offering hope in the quiet promise that night always gives way to dawn.
Written during a season of longing for clarity, “Belief” reflects a God who welcomes honesty rather than perfection. The song’s imagery and lyrics wrestle openly with questions many believers carry—how to trust when the harvest hasn’t come, how to believe when faith feels fragile–while anchoring itself in the assurance of God’s faithfulness and grace.
Nelson at the Helm is folk-pop duo Jared and Rachelle Nelson, whose story began in 2012 when they were married in a simple ceremony beside a cornfield. Their musical journey grew naturally out of shared life–Jared’s formal music training paired with Rachelle’s instinctive gift for harmony–leading them to write songs together that blend love, theology, philosophy, and imagination. Their music embraces the realities of a broken world while pointing toward eternity, offering listeners solace, joy, and moments of genuine connection.
At the heart of Nelson at the Helm’s music is a desire for transformation–beginning within themselves and extending outward. Through “Belief,” they invite listeners into a sacred space where doubt is not dismissed, faith is still chosen, and God’s promise of abundant life remains steady even in uncertainty.
