Born in New York, raised in South Florida, and later moving to Australia at 18 to study worship and theology, I began a journey that shaped both my faith and creativity. It was there that I met my wife, J, and also discovered a love for aesthetics. For a long time, I never considered myself creative until I realized I simply saw and processed things differently than most people around me.

Music had always been part of my life, but in my late teens I came to understand that what I really loved was art in all its forms. Whether seeing it, hearing it, or creating it, I was drawn to beauty and meaning expressed through creativity.

Today, I create primarily for my local church Christ Fellowship Church in South Florida where I help shape worship experiences both visually and musically. That ranges from dreaming up new series concepts and producing creative video moments in services, to songwriting and developing the sound of worship for our community.

As a songwriter with MVMNT Music, the worship expression of Christ Fellowship, my heart is to write songs that give voice to the church songs that carry both the raw honesty of personal encounter with God and the shared language of corporate worship. For me, songwriting isn’t just about crafting melodies and lyrics; it’s about helping people encounter God’s presence, express their faith, and be reminded of His truth.

Ultimately, my hope is that every project I touch whether a song, a service, or a creative concept leads people closer to Jesus and reflects the beauty of His kingdom.

Equally at home in the Prayer Room and penning her own blend of pop/soul/worship songs, Steph ministers from a place of freedom, intimacy, and authority grounded in her identity as a beloved daughter of the Most High King.

Rooted in John 10:10 and 2 Corinthians 3:16-18, her particular message revolves around calling the lukewarm believer into the passionate, abundant, gloriously surrendered life Jesus always meant for those He loves. She’s quick to callout her own hypocrisy first, and uses her disarming vulnerability, knowledge of the Word, and colorful melodies to invite the listener to do the same.

Her latest album, Dare to Behold,, invites the listener to identify and wrestle against sin, turn from the things of this world, and chase boldly after Jesus. She prays these songs would call all lukewarm believers into the passionate, abundant, gloriously surrendered life Jesus always meant for those He loves... because there’s too little time to be half-hearted and half-asleep.

We've been partnering in cross-Atlantic ministry with Jill and Andrew Mitchell for over 20 years. In this episode, we sit down to discuss their adventure in ministry with many highs and many lows. But God has been faithful throughout. We talk about the value of leading with a culture of honor, what it means to walk in faith, and moving from transactional to relational ministry. We cover a range of topics, but throughout it all, notice all of the laughter and joy we have in being together on one of our many "Mitchoff visits" together - this time, in Tennessee.

Visit Safehouse Scotland.

Visit Carberry Tower.
