Seph Schlueter: Counting My Blessings

“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.
