I’m John Conn—a man who’s been changed by grace and called to serve through Rise Up Ministries Mississippi. I don’t claim to have it all together, but I know the One who holds it all together.

My heart is in preaching, not for applause, but to point people to Jesus.
I’m drawn to counseling, because I’ve seen what happens when someone listens with love and leads with the Word.
And I’m committed to teaching, because God’s truth is too good to keep to myself.

Most days I’m balancing work, ministry, and the messiness of life—but through it all, I just want to be faithful. Whether it’s speaking to a crowd, sitting across from someone who’s struggling, or preparing a lesson late at night, I do it to glorify Him and serve others the best I can.

I’m not perfect. But I’m present. And I’m available for whatever God wants to do next.

2 Timothy 1:9
who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity,
