Hey there, I'm John Mark. I was immersed in Christian things my whole childhood. Super-struggled with it. After a two-year drug stint, I finally encountered the Holy Spirit in my car at the age of 24. God became "Papa". And that changed pretty much all the things. Danced on my couch a lot. I started writing Jesus music in my room a couple of years later. And, here we are. Some things about me: I home-base in Isla Vista, California with my friends in community-living. I am a 6 foot 5 goofy white boy and most people are surprised (and sometimes scared?) to see a giant (me) when they've only heard my singing voice. I was able to leave my full-time roofing job in 2021 to do ministry + music full-time; it's honestly a dream come true. A few things I currently enjoy: writing books, songwriting, ceramics, making tables, playing basketball with all the boys. Also, I wrote a book, "Love Secrets", that you should read. My website is V neat. If you check it out, you'll find a longer version of my life story, chord charts to my songs, all my merch including a vinyl record of Love Secrets, the book I wrote with some sample chapters, and other things. http://johnmarkpantana.com
