#12minconvos with Jesus Believers

Jan Johnson began a podcast God dropped into her heart in April of 2024.

It's a place with real people sharing their real faith. and But God moments.

Jan Johnson crafts stories that explore faith with authenticity and depth. Her fiction blends warmth and humor while grappling with genuine questions about God and belief. In both her novels and Bible studies, she creates work that feels grounded in real life stories that resonate with honest struggles and joys, and Biblical teaching that speaks directly to readers' everyday experiences.

She and her husband Ed live on a sheep farm in rural Oregon where they raised ten kids- yours, mine, ours and theirs.

She is a retired teacher of all ages- preschool thru highschool.

Since she has retired, her greatest joy is building relationships and sharing Jesus.

“At a very early age, I knew I was going to be a musician; maybe it was sleeping with my trumpet as a ten-year-old!”

Thus began a musical journey that has taken Fletch Wiley literally around the world playing and producing with some of the world’s great players and giving him a heart for helping the local musician. Fusing his love of jazz, classical and world music with digital technology has made Fletch a sought-after producer, arranger, instrumentalist, and orchestrator. Since receiving a bachelor’s degree from the University of North Texas and a graduate fellowship to Yale University as a trumpet player, Fletch has built a career working with a diverse group of artists, ad agencies, theaters and record labels. Over the last four decades he has received multiple Grammy nominations: as arranger for “Take Me Back,” Andraé Crouch and the Disciples, 1974; and Best Recording for Children 1982, ’83, ’84; and Dove Awards in 1983, ’84, ’86,’88, ’91. Recordings include his own instrumental projects (five for Star Song Records, nine for Word Records, two independent jazz releases) and arranging and producing projects in classical, Christian, pop and rock idioms.

In the last five years, Fletch, with his wife, Kathryn, have started Heart+Art, a music missions ministry that has taken them to New Zealand, Turkey, Egypt, Albania, Nigeria, France, Germany, Spain, South Africa, Peru, Bulgaria, India, and England. Whether it’s street ministry, teaching in seminaries, playing in churches or opera houses, Fletch and Kathryn have a heart to minister the love of Jesus wherever they go. Hear for yourself how he can intertwine these abilities when you invite Fletch for a concert or to produce your next film score or artist project. “The depth of the musical experience never ceases to amaze me. Whether it’s playing in churches in America, jazz cafes in Istanbul or outdoor festivals in Norway; writing a film score; or producing a record or jingle, I am in awe of the creative powers God has given us.” -Fletch Wiley
