SHARING HOPE THROUGH ART & STORY-TELLING
Ben Glenn, known widely as “The Chalkguy,” has been a dynamic voice sharing the Gospel across the US and internationally since 1995. Ben’s engaging, humor-infused programs brim with personal anecdotes and earnest encouragement, inviting individuals to bravely step out of their comfort zones, overcome the distractions of busyness, and shed their pride to embrace a deeper walk with Christ.
His personal narrative is both relatable and inspiring. Growing up with learning disabilities, Ben wrestled with the notion that he was a mistake in God’s grand design. His journey from doubt to discovering his true worth in Christ has touched the hearts of tens of thousands. Ben’s story is a testament to finding purpose amidst life’s struggles and transforming perceived weaknesses into strengths through faith.
As a former youth pastor at Mercy Road Church, Ben deepened his spiritual journey and biblical understanding. This experience enriched his ability to connect and share his insights with a younger audience. Drawing from his pastoral experiences, Ben authored the book “31 Bible Verses Everyone Should Know,” accompanied by a workbook for youth pastors. This work reflects his passion for guiding the younger generation in their faith journey, equipping them with essential biblical knowledge and life lessons.
Ben’s unique blend of chalk art, storytelling, and humor makes his message of faith and hope accessible and engaging. Whether addressing a congregation, a youth camp, or a small group, his approachable style and authentic stories resonate with diverse audiences, leaving a lasting impression of encouragement and empowerment. Ben Glenn’s mission remains clear: to inspire individuals to overcome their barriers, discover their true potential in Christ, and live out their faith with purpose and joy.
A COACH'S IMPACT: FROM FEAR TO PURPOSE
Growing up with a learning disability, Ben confronted formidable challenges that led him into a journey marked by anxiety, fear, and self-doubt. However, a remarkable coach’s unwavering support and love set him on a transformative path. This coach, Coach Kasmar, made a pivotal decision during Ben’s 9th-grade year by financially supporting his attendance at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes camp. This decision opened the door for Ben to encounter the gospel.
Rather than investing in a physical structure or a project, Coach Kasmar invested in nurturing a strong spiritual foundation within Ben. For an additional three years, Coach Kasmar continued to provide scholarships for Ben to attend the camp. It was at the last of these camps that Ben had a life-changing encounter with an 80-year-old chalk artist named Bill Leach.
In this inspiring message, Ben will recount his personal journey and share the incredible plan that God has for his life and the lives of others. His story serves as a testament to the transformative power of faith, mentorship, and the unexpected ways God’s purpose unfolds in our lives.

With a blend of humor and personal experiences, Ben will lead you on a captivating exploration of how life becomes a fruitful adventure when we wholeheartedly accept God’s call.
