Justin Macaluso was born in San Diego and raised across various parts of the Southwest. His early years were marked by a lack of spiritual guidance, culminating in a worldview and lifestyle centered around atheism. Despite this, Justin found a passion in music, which guided him through his childhood. After completing high school, he joined the Marine Corps Band. In the final year of his initial contract with the Marine Corps, Justin experienced a profound spiritual awakening when Yahweh, in an act of pure mercy, revealed His Son to him at a time when Justin was not seeking Him. Following this life-changing experience, Justin was led through various spiritual and educational endeavors, including ministry school, church internships, and studies in Music and Worship. Currently, Justin’s focus is on prophetic worship, songs of lament, and teaching God’s people about their Kingdom Identity through understanding His ways. His journey from atheism to becoming a student with his current pastoral team has led him to become a teacher at ACTS Biblical Training Center, where he strives to help students understand the transformative power of God’s Word.
