Bio
Aaron Sagray
Jon is a big picture, strategic visionary who can assemble, energize and empower talented people to execute on his vision. Over the course of my career, I've been privileged to work with Jon on many of his ventures. His ability to think bigger than everyone else, and transform a bold idea into a community movement that impacts people and change lives is such a rare gift, and it is a gift that Jon has honed to mastery. Jon, with his larger than life personality, also has tremendous stage presence, where both learning and hilarity doth ensue.

If you have ever had the opportunity to meet Jon Talbert, let alone be taken in by him like I have, you too would know his caliber is unbelievable and unmatched. That's exactly the attraction; where does one get such strength of character, such integrity, such insight into the human condition and the needs of others. And what fuels their incredible drive and passion? These were but a few of the magnetic talents and skills that led me to a trasformative lifelong journey with Jon for which I am eternally greatful. Jon introduced me into the joys of serving Christ and the power and responsibility that comes with it. As a visionary he opened my world to the possibilities we posses if we think outside the box. Not only will Jon sit and teach you, he will live and share life with you and watch as you learn for yourself. Jon is the embodiement of encouragement and enabling. One discovers more about themselves in this kind of environment than they might in a lifetime without it. As a preacher, Jon uses his gift of humor and his acquired skills and knowledge about the Kingdom of God to captivate and enlighten his audiences. He brings history, truth and reality to the present for each who listens. Jon is a great friend, mentor, teacher, employer, and most importantly Soul Artist. To be an artist you need the ability to take something as it is and apply exactly what is needed to make it remarkable or beautiful. I have been a canvas for this Artist who helps a Soul become exactly what it was designed to be. I have always planned and hoped to work with Jon again.
