The man behind the mission

Theodore Jander launched Journey Begun Media out of his passion for bringing hope to the world. Theodore’s writing and music are infused with authenticity and wit, while his sacred work also evokes a deeply rooted faith. He creates unique and engaging websites, which he has done for over twenty years. Over the past several years, his passion has grown into producing two podcasts (Coffee Talk with King Francois I and Journey Begun in Scripture); videos; writing and designing inspirational materials to be shared on social media and via his book, A Journey Begun Through Poetry and Inspirational Thoughts; creating content for the church to share and connect God’s awesome love and salvation through social media, particularly via Facebook, Instagram, and X. In addition, Theodore provides basic tech troubleshooting, social media ins-and-outs, and licensing management for churches and their members. Along with the digital side of things, he teaches music, technology, and art; is Artistic Director for the Greenleaf Singers; and serves as Cast Director for the St. Louis Renaissance Festival. So, through the written word, music, digital media, and teaching, Theodore strives to bring hope to the world.
