I pastor a beautiful church in Eugene, Oregon called Faith Center. We exist to Reflect God’s Presence & Release Generations.

I’m the national director of church planting for Foursquare.

I cohost the SameJesus podcast with my friend AJ Swoboda engaging conversations about what it means to faithfully follow Jesus and lead people in our time.
