His band, The Dance Commanders, had just performed at one of the biggest parties on campus, and the show could not have gone better. But despite the thrill of playing in front of a large crowd of college students, and despite executing the perfect knee slide across the stage while the chords of his favorite song rang out on his guitar, something was missing. \u201cWhen the initial excitement and thrill of the night had subsided and the crowd had faded away, I began to feel very dissatisfied with the whole affair,\u201d says Father John of his initial steps towards fulfilling his dream of musical stardom. \u201cI remember thinking\u2026 \u2018Now what?\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A move to Nashville to pursue a degree in music production did little to quell the disquiet and increasing restlessness he was beginning to feel about his dream of a career in music. In the midst of this unrest, he made a desperate midnight prayer of surrender to God, which started him on a different path to a new adventure; over the next several months, he would discern what new direction God was calling him in, and would decide to enter the seminary to become a Legionary of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And what happened when Father John surrendered his dream of a career in music, and instead, handed over his guitar to Jesus? Jesus handed it right back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/frjohn1-300x200.jpg\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-21102 lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-21102\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/frjohn1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/noscript>It wasn\u2019t until Father John relinquished his dream of becoming a music professional, and replaced it with the vocation of becoming a priest, that he finally found peace, not only with his purpose in life, but also with his relationship with music. \u201cOnly once I discovered I had a vocation to the priesthood did music finally find its rightful place in my life,\u201d says Father John, \u201cOnce I realized that music was a God-given gift for me to help evangelize, instead of an end in itself, I finally was set free.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Undoubtedly, Father John has been putting his God-given musical gifts to good use, and he\u2019s seen no end to the opportunities to use his talents and passion to inspire and evangelize. In addition to performing music, Father John performs and writes original songs that are featured at a variety of events, from local retreats and missions to international festivals. It was at one such festival, in Salzburg, Austria, that Father John realized the reach and impact that his music could have on those around him, and on those he\u2019d never even met:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cPlaying on the streets of Salzburg, Austria at a youth festival with eight other Legionary brothers a few years back, a young Austrian kid I had never met recognized me and approached me, thanking me for one of my songs, which a friend of his had shown him during his study abroad year in Washington, D.C. The song had helped him through a difficult moment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/frjohn-headshot-200x300.jpg\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-21103 lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-21103\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/frjohn-headshot-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\"><\/noscript>Of all the events that Father John has had the opportunity to participate in, his favourite are the missions that occur in his local area throughout the year. Each December, he leads a Christmas Carol Mission, where about a hundred University of Georgia students sing Christmas carols and do street missions in downtown Athens, Georgia. And every year, Father John writes a new theme song and leads the music for the Atlanta Mercy Missions, an annual mission held by the ECYD and RC Youth in Atlanta during Holy Week. \u201cMy mission is to use music to help others experience more deeply the goodness and peace of Christ as it leads to prayer,\u201d says Father John, \u201cand at the same time [experience] the energy and life the risen Christ brings as he sends us out to mission with and through him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Father John has found that music, as a form of true beauty and a source of joy and pleasure, has been a real method of communication and evangelization in his priestly vocation. \u201cMusic is a chance to evangelize through beauty, which wins hearts in a subtle yet powerful and disarming way,\u201d says Father John. \u201cI feel, especially, that through my music, I want to express the beauty of encounter with the person of Jesus Christ.\u201d This beauty of encountering Christ is, Father John feels, what people are seeking when they feel that restlessness he felt as a young adult as he wrestled with his own future plans and his purpose in life. \u201cPeople today are always looking to feel something,\u201d says Father John. \u201cMusic helps us not just <i>hear<\/i> of the power of Christ in words, but also to <i>feel<\/i> it, in a certain sense, in our emotions and our heart, too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The power of music to both inspire and ignite, as well as console and calm, was especially important during Holy Week and Easter this year, when Catholics across the world were dealing with the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, and doing so without hands-on access to the sacraments. The online Easter World Tour was an apostolic initiative that allowed Legionaries to pool their musical talents and put them at the service of the Church. This four-part concert series was streamed on the Regnum Christi YouTube channel, and featured four nights of live music from various Legionaries in several different locations across the world, including Father John, from his living room in Atlanta.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With in-person ministry severely limited during the COVID-19 crisis, Father John and other members of the Regnum Christi family have been further inspired to seek creative ways to use their musical gifts to minister and evangelize remotely. Recently, various Legionary priests and Consecrated Women of Regnum Christi, in response to Pope Francis\u2019 urgent call to unity in prayer during a time of global uncertainty and suffering, have come together to form virtual choirs, in the desire to provide consolation and hope through their music. And when it was clear that this year\u2019s Holy Week Mission in Atlanta would not be going ahead as planned, at least not in its usual form, Father John helped organize a virtual Mercy Mission. Creating and performing choreography to accompany his original Mercy Mission theme songs gave high school students across Atlanta a way to connect with each other during a time of social isolation. \u201cMusic for me has been a very powerful tool to help bring people together, help spread joy and hope, lead others to prayer, and help inspire and lead others to love being missionaries,\u201d says Father John. \u201cThrough music, I feel I can help people experience a bit of the powerful and energizing yet beautiful and hope-filled experience of Christ that I have had.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Father John\u2019s newest initiative will see him making music in Nashville after all: at the end of June, he\u2019ll be part of a group recording an album of the best Regnum Christi Mission songs, to help continue to spread Christ\u2019s message of joy and hope, and the call to mission. \u201cWe need fresh, new and energizing music to inspire people to be fearless missionaries to Christ!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To hear Father John\u2019s original music, visit and subscribe to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCYINyDxkIHITMukJCB2DqLQ\"><span class=\"s2\">his YouTube channel<\/span><\/a>, or see him perform his newest Mercy Mission song, called \u201cLeave Your Mark,\u201d accompanied by Atlanta youth missionaries <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3oQqaWhOQuw\"><span class=\"s2\">here<\/span><\/a>.
