Jake Luhrs is the lead singer of the Grammy-nominated metal band, August Burns Red and founder of HeartSupport. To date, he has toured hundreds of countries internationally and reached the Top 10 BillBoard charts multiple times. After seeing his fans struggling through addiction, depression, and suicide ideation, at the merch table each evening he wanted to find a way to give back. So he created HeartSupport, and he endeavors to speak a message of hope, love, and healing to those who've only heard messages that they're worthless. His efforts thus far have led the organization to be nominated twice for philanthropic awards up against the likes of Doctors Without Borders and the American Cancer Society. In addition to HeartSupport and his band, he also runs a clothing line company called "More Weight" inspiring others to reach and achieve their health goals through community support.
HeartSupport is an online community that provides emotional support to the music scene. We help people heal from their past, choose life over suicide, and freedom from addiction. To date we've reached thousands of Millenials struggling to find hope and purpose and created a legacy of life-transformation among them.

HeartSupport was created by the community for the community it supports and its directors and supporters have been through many of the same things that they now help people get through. Having witnessed their work and insightful talks, I'm grateful to be able to give them a platform like Warped Tour to help get their message out.

It was refreshing to hear a talk on a subject that is only spoken in whispers or as someone else's problem. We must first acknowledge the damage and control pornography has on our relationships and children. Then we can and start having real and authentic conversations re-enforcing what healthy relationships look like and model these in our own lives…denying power to something that has control over too many lives.

[The talk] was right on target. The students and the staff alike were challenged by the subject matter. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!
