About John Wallace

John Wallace has spent more than five decades investing his life in people.

As a church planter, preacher, teacher, and spiritual father, John has walked closely with pastors, nonprofit leaders, marketplace executives, and families across the globe — not from a platform alone, but through prayer, presence, and long-term relationships.

Long before he ever used the phrase spiritual fathering, John was living it.

He walked with leaders.
Prayed with them.
Shepherded them.
Loved them.
Taught, mentored, encouraged, and multiplied them.

Over time, it became clear that God had entrusted him with a unique calling: to raise spiritual sons and daughters who would grow in maturity and then go on to father others in the faith.

John has preached and taught for decades and holds multiple academic degrees. He has served alongside numerous churches and currently sits on the boards of several large international ministries, continuing to shape leaders at the highest levels while remaining deeply committed to personal discipleship.

His own spiritual journey has been marked by profound encounters with the Holy Spirit. John was present during the Toronto Blessing and has spent years learning to walk in the power and presence of God through firsthand experiences of healing, renewal, and miraculous works — testimonies that have shaped his theology, his ministry, and his unwavering faith in a God who still moves today.

Married to his wife Suzanne since 1971, John is the father of three children and the grandfather of eight. Their marriage has not been without challenges, but through every season, they have witnessed God’s faithfulness and transforming power. Together, they carry a deep passion for strengthening families, marriages, and leaders for generations to come.

Today, John’s mission is simple and profound:
to pass on what he has learned.

Through coaching relationships, teaching, and the Spiritual Fathering Course, John equips men and leaders to grow in Christ, lead with humility, love their families well, and cultivate a legacy that extends far beyond their own lifetime.

Because for John, leadership is not about influence.

It’s about inheritance.

And spiritual fathering is how the Kingdom multiplies.
