John (Jack) Shea is een theoloog en verhalenverteller die nationaal en internationaal lezingen geeft over verhalen vertellen in wereldreligies, op geloof gebaseerde gezondheidszorg, hedendaagse spiritualiteit en de beweging 'de geest aan het werk'. Zijn werk duikt diep in de verbindende kracht tussen narratieven en het spirituele leven, en onderzoekt hoe verhalen ons begrip van geloof en identiteit vormen. Shea onderzoekt niet alleen de theologische aspecten, maar ook de praktische impact van spiritualiteit op het dagelijks leven, met name binnen de context van ethiek en gezondheid. Zijn uitgebreide geschriften omvatten zowel theologische reflecties als poëtische uitingen, waarmee hij een breed spectrum aan lezers bereikt die op zoek zijn naar diepere inzichten in de menselijke geest.
