"When we praise, all of darkness shakes!" - js

A native of the great Pacific Northwest, John Stuthard is an active musician, worship leader, songwriter and worship pastor.

John's musical and spiritual journey collided in his early years of life as an aspiring rock musician. But after years of trying to find success, John came to a sudden personal cross roads. He felt the grace of God calling him home, like a prodigal son. John obediently walked away from further pursuing a music career, and began serving as a youth pastor. John says fondly, this was one of the sweetest, greatest times in his spiritual and personal life. He never imagined he would be afforded the opportunity to be involved or work in music ever again.  But God has an incredible sense of humor. Fast forward, John has lead worship at churches, worship events, intimate living rooms, sporting arenas, concert halls, and just about everywhere in between.  In over 25 years of ministry, John’s life passion has remained constant- seeing people connect with God through the avenue of worship music.  John says, “music is a universal language that God uses to speak to our hurting human core.  I love it when a powerful song of hope, healing, or salvation impacts hearts and brings us to a closer place of surrender and healing with Jesus!”  John firmly believes that God will be with us in every battle we face. Scripture tells us that we fight against spiritual forces of darkness and spiritual principalities - BUT God is greater than them all. "Everyone of us will go through the fire of life.  We will experience great pain and loss. Even Jesus experienced loss and He wept. But we also get to experience and celebrate the great victories of God along the way. The greatest victory being that Jesus conquered sin, death and the enemy. Jesus is coming soon to restore all things!"  John's newest release STRONG NAME  focuses on God's unstoppable POWER to achieve ALL His victories.  When we praise God's STRONG NAME, all of darkness shakes - its the sound our salvation makes!  

  John loves spending time with other worshipers, discussing his best practices for effective worship leading, team building and digging deep into true Christ centered theology of worship.
