Chris Padgett

For over a decade, Chris has traveled nationally and internationally sharing the message of Christ’s love and forgiveness through music, speaking, and writing. Beginning with the band Scarecrow and Tinmen and continuing as a solo artist for the past eight years, Chris has connected with audiences of all ages at parishes, youth events, conferences, and retreats.

A convert to the Catholic faith in 1999, Chris brings a passionate and thoughtful perspective to his ministry. He holds a Master’s degree in Theology from Franciscan University and is currently pursuing a doctorate (STD) at the International Marian Research Institute in Dayton, Ohio.

Known for his engaging presentations, heartfelt music, and deep love for the Church, Chris inspires others to grow in faith and intimacy with Christ. Rooted in prayer and supported by his wife Linda and their nine children, Chris’s ministry is a testimony to the power of family, faith, and a life surrendered to God.

Chris is also a devoted husband and father. He and his high school sweetheart, Linda, have nine children and a home filled with faith, laughter, and love. His family remains the heart of his vocation and the foundation of his ministry.
