Justin Howard / Speaking

Faith for the room.
Tools for the work.

I speak, preach, and lead worship at churches, conferences, leadership gatherings, and ministry events—bringing encouragement for the people and practical help for the work ahead.

Speaking & ministry

Strengthen people.
Build the house.

My speaking and ministry work is shaped by years of serving churches and teams as a pastor, worship leader, artist, and consultant.

I want people to leave encouraged in their faith and better equipped to lead, serve, and build healthy teams together.

What I speak about

Faith that meets
real life.

Every room is different. These themes can shape a message, a worship weekend, or a conversation with your leadership team.

01

Worship & creative arts

Building teams that serve with skill, humility, unity, and a clear sense of purpose.

02

Leadership & healthy teams

Encouraging leaders to listen well, strengthen culture, and help people grow together.

03

Church culture & systems

Finding the rhythm of the house, then building repeatable ways for the work to move forward.

04

Artistry, family & life

Faithful conversations about artistry, marriage, family, athletics, health, leadership, and ministry.

Selected messages

Ideas we’ve
worked through.

A few message overviews from our work together. Each one can be shaped for the people, season, and needs of your gathering.

Loneliness · The wilderness · Trust

Lonely Miles

The promise is beautiful. The road can still be lonely. A message for anyone learning to keep moving through the middle.

Faithfulness · Perseverance

Here I Go Again!!!

When life takes another hard turn, faithfulness is more than a moment. It’s the decision to show up again.

Perseverance · Transformation

Don’t Stop Here… Keep Going

The hard middle is not the finish line. When opposition rises, keep going until the work is complete.

Brokenness · Restoration · 2 Samuel 9

Pick Me Up, Eazy … I’m Broken

Brokenness does not erase your place at the table. A story of unexpected welcome, grace, and restoration.

Grace · Endurance · Faithfulness

Saved. Being Saved. Will Be Saved.

Grace starts the story. Endurance carries it. What changes when Jesus—not our systems—sets the terms?

Revelation 3:7 · Romans 15:4

Stories That Shape Us: The Door of Worship

At a crossroads, the next faithful step may begin with an open door—and the courage to walk through it.

Leadership · Culture

I Can’t Drive 55

Every team has a lane, an altitude, and a culture. What happens when the direction starts to drift?

Luke 24 · John 21

What a Fool Believes

When disappointment rewrites the story, Jesus meets us on the road and invites us to see again.
