ABOUT

Justin Kintzel is a songwriter, recording artist, video producer, and storyteller whose work lives where beauty and ache collide. As a Worship Pastor for fifteen years, he has crafted songs born out of real life—honest lyrics shaped by faith, loss, restoration, and the quiet places where God speaks in a whisper. His music blends worship with a cinematic, emotive quality that invites listeners into moments of reflection, surrender, and hope.

Rather than chasing trends, Justin writes from the heart. His songs come from lived experience—melodies shaped in late-night writing sessions, prayers turned into lyrics, and seasons of hardship that became the soil for deeper worship. Whether producing a full studio project or recording something simple and acoustic, his goal is always the same: create music that tells the truth and helps people find God in the middle of their story.

Beyond music, Justin is a multidisciplinary creative—an experienced graphic artist and filmmaker with a passion for crafting visual worlds that echo the emotions of his songs. That blend of sound and story shapes everything he does, giving his work a uniquely immersive and cinematic quality.

Justin and his wife Ashley have four children—Izzy, Nora, Jackson, and Charlotte. When he’s not writing or recording, you can usually find him sketching new ideas, exploring creative concepts, or sitting with a guitar in hand as melodies quietly take shape.

FAMILY CRISIS

& GOD’S REDEMPTION

In the summer of 2025, Justin and his family entered a devastating season following the discovery of Ashley’s infidelity. What followed was a period of shock, grief, and painful clarity as the full story came into the light through confession, counseling, and accountability. Ashley fully owned her sin while also uncovering deeper layers of deception, long-standing wounds, and psychological manipulation that had left her vulnerable. Justin faced the agonizing question of whether reconciliation was possible while walking through betrayal trauma and seeking God’s direction rather than reacting from fear or pride. In time, he discerned he was not being released from his marriage and chose the difficult path of forgiveness and rebuilding.

The months since have been marked by repentance, healing, and the slow work of restoring trust within their marriage and family. Ashley has pursued transparency and humility, and Justin has continued to heal while carrying both grief and hope. Though this journey resulted in Justin’s departure from church staff, it did not result in the loss of faith or calling. Their story bears witness to a lived gospel: that sin loses its power in the light, shame does not have the final word, and redemption—while costly—is real and ongoing.
