Does that sound familiar?

I know what failure feels like and how that utter feeling of hopelessness takes root and simmers on the burner of life. It’s easy to set goals and desire to be the best but what if you don’t feel as if your voice matters. I struggled for years trying to figure out what my message was and how to share my story with the world. So, I gave up until someone told me my story was worth telling.

Everything changed when I joined a local writer’s guild and learned how to tell a story that tells God’s story. I’d grown up in the ministry, got my Bachelor’s of Divinity (Theological Studies), and became ordained as a full-time minister in 2008. But I knew something was lacking and I realized that my message was for more than just my local congregation.

If you truly want to find your unique voice and succeed in life, it takes discovering your dreams, goals, and aspirations. It takes more than writing a book, it takes becoming the best you God has created you to be. When I figured that out, I not only wrote my first book, Divine Providence, I have also written nearly 1,000,000 words since 2008 and my podcast has touched nearly 5,000 people since 2015!

Hi, my name is Jason Sisam. I am a financial advisor, blogger, ordained pastor, and author. I help frustrated and overwhelmed writers and leaders stay motivated with clarity, helping them find the tools they need to discover their voice and succeed in their family, ministry, and life.

My favorite thing to do is to be at home with my wife of 8 years. We married in 2012 in the beautiful Twin Cities area and we have two children; Amelia (5), Aaron (2), and our adorable puppy named Molly! 

I was the operation’s pastor at Christian Family Church (formerly Life Church), a multi-ethnic, non-denominational congregation in the Twin Cities. I have been on staff for over 20 years. I started as a teenager and was looking for a simple job. The Lead Pastor, Alan Langstaff, was kind enough to give me my first job. That job, cleaning the bathroom stalls. For nearly 20 years, I worked side by side with my father, Dale Sisam, in ministry.

Through my years of service at the church, I have grown as a leader and have helped many people tap into their God-given potential. Many of those I’ve personally trained have gone on to help start churches or become influential leaders within the churches they attend.

Today, I am a financial advisor with Edward Jones, helping individuals find financial clairty, fulfill their dreams, so they can succeed in family, work and life.

In 2013, I joined the board of directors for the Minnesota Christian Writer’s Guild.  Over the last several years, we’ve helped writers fulfill their dream of becoming a published author. Our mission is the help writers live for God and write for others. My newest book, Focus: Up, In, and Out, is a short teaching book designed to help small group leaders find success as they lead and grow their groups. I have published 6 books and in several newspapers, The Huffington Post, More Than A Beard, LifeLine Magazine and more. In my free/spare time, I love to read, write and go fishing. I enjoy the great outdoors, so you’ll often find me doing yard work.
