Jack Deere is a theologian, pastor, author, and speaker who helps believers experience biblically grounded, Spirit-filled faith.
For years, Jack believed and taught that God no longer spoke or moved supernaturally today—until his own study of Scripture led him to a life-changing discovery: The gifts of the Spirit were never meant to cease. This realization cost him his position as a seminary professor and pastor, but it opened the door to something far greater—a real friendship with God, where hearing His voice and seeing His power became a daily reality.
Jack began his journey in biblical scholarship at Dallas Theological Seminary, where he excelled in Greek and Hebrew studies and became a professor of Old Testament. At the same time, he pastored a church in Fort Worth, Texas. But his encounter with the supernatural led him to leave both, eventually joining John Wimber and the Vineyard movement, where he traveled the world teaching on hearing God’s voice, healing, and prophecy.
Jack is the bestselling author of Surprised by the Power of the Spirit and Surprised by the Voice of God, which have helped thousands of believers embrace the reality of God’s presence, voice, and power. He has spent decades training Christians in how to recognize God’s voice, pray for the sick, and walk in deep friendship with Jesus.
Today, Jack continues to write, teach, and speak at conferences and churches around the world. His passion is to help believers step into a faith that is both theologically sound and supernaturally alive.
It’s both biblical and possible to have conversational friendship with God, marked by regular moves of His power
