Clyde Shelton
Some ghosts don’t haunt. They lead
Clyde Shelton is what happens when the words finally get too sharp for church.
When the prayers run out of patience.
When the pastor takes the mic back — and this time, he doesn’t bless the wound.
He doesn’t smile in press photos. He doesn’t network. He doesn’t speak unless it’s necessary.
But when he does?
It cuts.
Clyde Shelton is the ghost name of Jason Harper — the former megachurch voice who co-authored Jesus Loves You, This I Know, stood beside Craig Gross for years, and wrote fire long before AI made it sing.
Now? He’s done hiding.
Clyde is not here to build a brand. He’s here to say what the others won’t. He’s here for the exiles. The fathers in the dark. The kids who never got their dad back. The mothers who still say amen but feel nothing. He’s here for you.

What He Believes
The church is overdue for arson.
Divorce can be holy.
Fatherhood is sacred and not everyone earns the title.
God doesn’t need PR. He needs poets.
What He’s Building
Clyde’s not here for platforms.
He’s here for permission.
To tell the truth.
To say what the pulpit won’t.
To scream with grace.
To cut with the Word.
To lay hands on the dirt and bless it broken.
This isn’t a comeback. It’s a confession.
This isn’t a podcast. It’s a knife.
This isn’t for everyone.
But if you feel it?
You already know.
