Amy Seiffert is an author, speaker, pastor, wife, and co-ringmaster to her circus of three kids. She grew up listening to the clamorous keys of her father’s typewriter. Writing, humor, puns, rhymes, and communication were just a regular part of her life.

Having loved and studied literature and writing in high school and college—once Amy was introduced to Jesus—the Bible became her favorite text to explore. She joined staff with Cru at BGSU after graduating college and began teaching and speaking about God’s word regularly.

Through many face plants and mud slides in Amy's life, God opened doors to begin to write books and to travel and speak, inviting others to discover grace in their daily lives. She is attending Denver Seminary pursuing a Masters In Biblical and Theological Studies. Amy is also one of the pastors at Soma City Church in Toledo, OH.

Her family has walked through infertility, depression, anxiety, a Crohn’s disease diagnosis, an ADHD diagnosis, and several other valleys and mountain tops. As they keep walking whatever path God has them on next, her hope is to use humor and storytelling to anchor them in the truth that God is with us, for us, in us, and working through us.

Caleb & John are proving that joy and hope belong at the center of Christian music. With a #1 Christian Radio hit under their belt (Somebody Like Me), and two viral videos that lit up Facebook, this high-energy duo is keeping their foot on the gas with their newest single, Finished — an upbeat, anthemic reminder that no matter what life looks like, God isn’t done yet.

The duo came to music through totally different paths. Caleb, a pastor’s kid and classically trained musician, grew up on Christian radio. John, one of six kids and the only boy, taught himself guitar and piano through YouTube videos and leaned toward a gritty, rootsy sound. While touring and playing for artists like Sam Hunt, CAIN, Katy Nichole, and Anne Wilson, the two were introduced by a mutual friend. What started as a casual jam session quickly turned into something deeper — a creative connection that brought out the best in both of them.

Their blend of Caleb’s pop sensibilities and John’s raw edge has given them a signature sound: joyful, bold, and soaked in truth. Hallelujah Feeling, their debut single, hit #3 on the charts and introduced fans to their vibrant style. But it was Somebody Like Me — a heartfelt anthem featuring CAIN — that struck a deeper chord, landing them their first #1 on Christian radio and opening doors to a rapidly growing fanbase.

Now with Finished, Caleb & John are doubling down on their mission to spread hope. It’s a song for anyone who’s felt like giving up — a declaration that even when we feel broken, God is still writing our story.

Two different backgrounds. One unified message. Caleb & John are just getting started — and the joy is contagious.
