Ron Strand: The Jesus Revolution and Hosting for the Kingdom

Send us a text

This week on Who Gave Jeff Allen a Podcast?, Jeff and Carollynn sit down with Ron Strand—film producer, event host, and longtime champion of Christian artists. From starting out in Southern California's counterculture scene to founding the Upper Room Presents, Ron’s story is one of creativity, restoration, and the quiet power of obedience.

🎬 In This Episode:

• Ron’s early years in SoCal’s rock and roll scene—and how it shaped his faith
• The life-altering prayer that changed everything
• Creating spaces for Christian artists to be honest, raw, and real
• The heart behind The Upper Room Presents 
• Why producing behind the scenes can sometimes be a bigger calling than the spotlight

This episode is for anyone who's ever felt like their past disqualified them—or wondered if creating for the Kingdom could look a little different than Sunday morning.
