SONGWRITER. SPEAKER. COACH.
Where devotion meets motivation
Helping you rediscover your God-given purpose—one song, one story, one step at a time.
Maybe you’ve done all the right things.Stayed faithful. Kept the music playing. Showed up when it was hard.
But your soul still feels heavy.Your prayers feel dry.And somewhere deep inside, you’re wondering if you’ve missed it…or if it’s just too late.
Friend—it’s not too late.What you’re walking through doesn’t disqualify you. It’s preparing you.
31 DAYS OF DEVOTIONAL MOTIVATION
After a lifetime in ministry and music—leading worship, writing songs, mentoring creatives—I hit a wall. At 58, everything seemed to fall apart. My work lost its meaning. My prayers felt empty. I couldn’t feel God, couldn’t hear Him, and honestly, didn’t even know what I believed anymore.
But in that darkness, something unexpected happened: grace found me again.
I rediscovered purpose. Laughter returned. Joy started to rise where apathy used to live.
I’m John: believer, speaker, coach, worship leader, and your fellow traveler on the road back to joy in Christ.
If you’re craving a deeper life—a life aligned with Christ, fueled by creativity, and full of purpose—
Real People. Real Transformations.

John and his music have been a constant in my life over the last 30 years, encouraging me with truth through his inspiring writing and devoted friendship. I’m truly a better husband, father, and friend to others as a result of the significant influence John has had on my life as my co-laborer in the music industry and mentor in life all these years!

John Chisum is wise, compassionate, and deeply experienced, with a rare gift for helping others discover their purpose. His coaching and music offer real-life encouragement that speaks to the heart—whether you're an artist or simply searching for clarity and hope.
Ramon P., Thompson Station
Every time I meet with John, I come away encouraged and energized about my life, my work, and my ideas. I tend to install low ceilings for myself, and John helps me expand my vision of what is actually possible.
