JOHN CHISUM
BOOK TO SPEAK
It’s my signature blend of biblical truth, honest story, and motivating encouragement that helps people get back up, breathe again, and believe that God’s not done with them yet.
Because I’ve lived it. I’ve been through the burnout, the silence, the questions. And I know how powerful it is to hear someone say, “You’re not broken. You’re becoming.”
Whether I’m speaking at a church, a conference, or through a podcast mic, my heart is always the same:
When I speak, I bring more than a message—I bring hope, heart, and truth.
there are people in your audience that need real hope, right now.
To stir something new. To offer real hope. To point people back to the One who never left.
If that’s what your audience needs, I’d love to serve them.
I'M JOHN, AND I BELIEVE
"John’s music and words speak directly to the heart and God has used him in my life more than he knows. He’s helped me find hope and healing in seasons I didn’t think I’d get through. His coaching has given me clarity, confidence and always reminds me of my calling. "
Drawing from my own journey through depression and burnout, I offer powerful mindset shifts that help audiences trade shame, scarcity, and self-doubt for hope, peace, and purpose.
This is a faith-filled call to break free from toxic thoughts and walk boldly in the identity God gave you.
From survival mode to Spirit-led strength
Overcome Your Negative Mindset to Live a More Powerful Life
