“I just wanted to give Jesus my full yes — even when it didn’t make sense.” Seph Schlueter

Jonathan Unthank, Music Director at The Light FM, sits down with Seph Schlueter to talk about the moment he said a full yes to Jesus — even when it meant turning down a full-ride scholarship and stepping into missionary life in Ohio. Seph shares how that obedience laid the groundwork for his worship-driven music and the heart behind songs like “Counting My Blessings.”

They also talk about faith, family, becoming a new dad, and why following God sometimes looks like doing the thing that makes the least sense on paper. Seph’s story is a reminder that when we trust Jesus with everything, He shows up in ways we could never plan ourselves.

REMEMBER...

• Obedience to Jesus often requires trust before clarity — and that’s where real growth happens.

• God uses unlikely seasons (like missionary work and hidden years) to prepare us for what’s next.

• Music becomes powerful when it points people to an encounter with Jesus, not just a moment.
