John Reed Austin is a musician and graduate of Colorado Christian University (CCU) known for his patriotic music. He appeared on the Kim Monson Show in January 2025 to premiere his song 'One Nation Under God,' a work inspired by a deeply personal experience more than two decades earlier.

Austin wrote 'One Nation Under God' after waking from a dream in which he was singing the Pledge of Allegiance. The song reflects his faith and patriotism, themes that are central to his musical work. During his appearance on the show, Austin shared his hope that the song could help heal the nation during a time of division.

As a CCU graduate, Austin's work reflects the intersection of faith, patriotism, and music, and his appearance on the Kim Monson Show provided a platform to share his message of national unity through art.
