About Jay Heilman

Based in Lakeland, FL, Jay Heilman has been an essential voice in Christian media since founding the website Christian Music Review (CMR) in 2004. This initial venture was followed by the launch of the Kingdom Builder podcast/video channel in 2009, further expanding the reach of CMR. In 2016, he rebranded CMR as Today's Christian Entertainment. He is not only TCE's founder, but also acts as the site's lead correspondent and co-host of Kingdom Builder. Outside of TCE and Kingdom Builder, Jay is married to Shannon E., and they manage a lively home with six children and an incredible array of pets. When he’s not hanging out with his wife and kiddos, sharing the message of Jesus or attending amazing concerts, Jay enjoys relaxing and playing the guitar—an instrument he has passionately pursued for nearly 30 years. Life Verse: Romans 8:28
