Keynote speakers

Esteban "EB" Shedd
STREETLIGHTS Founder, Co-Executive and Creative Director, active Gospel Communicator


Esteban Shedd is one of the founders of STREETLIGHTS ministry and serves on the Executive Team and is the Chief Creative Officer. His passions ministerially, creatively, musically and pastorally are all pointed to actively minister the Gospel News, especially among inner city contexts around the globe.

As a Chicago native and resident, he wants to see his own city know and love Christ. He and his wife serve on leadership at Kingdom Culture Church, where Esteban actively pastors and disciples. This vision goes beyond Chicago as he sees the opportunities internationally for Gospel mission through the creative arts and the proclamation of God's Word in every heart language.  

He is a husband to his amazing wife Iris and a father to their 4 amazing children. He poets and raps with the trio ALERT312 and he will draw on any sketch book or wall you give him :) His favorite phrase is “may our highest gifts and service be for the least of these in Jesus’ name”.
May God be Glorified!
