John Tesh, the Emmy-winning composer and beloved broadcaster, is making headlines again—this time for his inspiring resilience and bold new projects that blend music, faith, and personal growth. After a public battle with cancer and decades of reinvention, Tesh is proving that his story is far from over.
From Cancer Survivor to Streaming Pioneer
Just a few years ago, Tesh faced a terrifying recurrence of cancer, with tumors threatening his pelvis and kidney. But with the support of his wife, actress Connie Sellecca, and a deep faith, Tesh emerged cancer-free and more determined than ever to help others find hope.
Now, he’s channeling that energy into
TeshTV, a streaming platform packed with over a thousand videos on motivation, wellness, and faith. Subscribers can access content from Tesh, Sellecca, and Gib Gerard (Connie’s son and John’s stepson) on everything from self-improvement to spiritual guidance. The platform is available on all major devices, and while access is free, fans can donate to support the mission.
What started as a mix of self-help and faith-based programming quickly evolved—audience demand for spiritual content was so overwhelming that TeshTV pivoted to focus on faith full-time. It’s a testament to Tesh’s ability to listen to his fans and adapt, even after decades in the spotlight.
The Enduring Power of “Intelligence for Your Life”
Tesh’s
Intelligence for Your Life radio show remains a juggernaut, airing on 350 stations and reaching 14 million listeners weekly. The show, which blends music with practical advice on health, relationships, and personal growth, has become one of the most listened-to programs in North America.
He’s also expanded the brand to television, with
Intelligence for Your Life TV co-hosted by Sellecca. The show features health segments and actionable tips, continuing Tesh’s mission to empower audiences with useful, uplifting information.
Upcoming Concerts: A Return to the Stage
Fans eager to see Tesh live won’t have to wait long. He’s scheduled to perform at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts in Las Vegas on June 18, and at Feinstein’s at Vitello’s in Studio City, CA on July 22 and 23. These concerts promise a blend of his iconic compositions—like the legendary “Roundball Rock” NBA theme—and new material inspired by his journey.
Tesh’s live shows have historically raised millions for PBS, and his “Live at Red Rocks” special remains a fan favorite. Expect these upcoming performances to be both musically dazzling and emotionally resonant.
