John’s video curriculum, DIY Bible Study, has taught thousands how to study the Bible. Today, John’s time is dedicated to chaplaincy.

John and his wife, Kalene, founded and led Jesus’ Economy, an innovative 501(c)(3) nonprofit that created jobs and churches in the developing world from 2012–2020. John and Kalene also served as missionaries with Resurrect Church Movement, the domestic division of Jesus’ Economy that equipped U.S. churches to effectively alleviate poverty and bring people to Jesus. In a primarily unchurched area of the U.S., John has served as: missional pastor for an established church; founder of an outreach and pastoral care ministry; president of a church plant; and in chapel and executive leadership for a large homeless shelter. As a public speaker, John has been featured by national radio shows, offered multiple keynote addresses, and presented at national theological conferences. Formerly, John also served as founding publisher of Lexham Press, an imprint of Faithlife Corporation / Logos Bible Software.

John is originally from “the last great frontier,” Alaska, and spent much of his life in “the city of subdued excitement” in Northwest Washington state—a fact evident in his love of gray skies, good coffee, mountain hiking, sea kayaking, road tripping, and “being off the beaten path” with his wife, Kalene, and their dog Milton.

To All Who Have Engaged with My Content Over the Years, Thank You

To all who have engaged with my content over the years, thank you. Due to my full-time commitment to chaplaincy, I have stepped away from writing and social media. Thus, I will not be responding to comments, author questions, or messages here on Goodreads. As a parting gift, I have catalogued my content—much of which is available for free—at JohnDBarry.com.
