These talents have kept him in demand as a concert artist and speaker for over two decades. Though John is knowledgeable in biblical truth, art, philosophy, and popular culture, his insights never come from some high and lofty place, but from that human, vulnerable place, where we can recognize them as being true because they match the common experience of us all. His music is a challenge to think, and a celebration of the presence of God in the midst of our ordinary lives. A John Fischer event is not going to provide answers to life as much as it will provide hope and celebration in the midst of life's questions. John's music is a place where faith becomes real.
Pretense falls away.

Stedman at Peninsula Bible Church, Palo Alto, California during the '70s, and has served as Artist in Residence at Gordon College in Massachusetts where he lived during most of the '80s.
