John Michael Talbot: Here I am, Lord

John Michael Talbot is a multi-platinum selling, Grammy / Dove award winning Contemporary Catholic Christian Music pioneer. His music has been the soundtrack to the faith journey of millions of believers throughout the world! He has recorded his 57th album, “Songs From Solitude" during his time of isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. A Best-Selling Author, John Michael’s 35th book, "Hermitage of the Heart" was published October 2021 and his 36th book, "Holy Is His Name" was published July 2022. In 2019 John Michael established his "Inner Room of Spirituality" - an online teaching community designed to lead you into a deeper relationship with Christ and His Church through the wisdom of Scripture, Monasticism, Community Living and the teachings of the Church Fathers. John Michael lives and leads the monastic life, which overflows into his very active ministry from Little Portion Hermitage in Arkansas, where he is the Founder and General Minister of the Catholic based community The Brothers and Sisters of Charity.

John Michael was a delight to talk with. As someone not deeply familiar with his work, he was very gracious with me — in fact I think he found it refreshing to be able to explain his process and ideas more from the ground up.
