Welcome!

Hi there. I’m Andrew. I’m a former pastor who now has a heart for pastoring pastors. I’m a student of Jesus, and a recovering sinner. Jesus continues to teach me how to love God and love people. I’ve grown to have such a deep love for the Church, and as the American Church continues to decline, it is my conviction that God longs to awaken it from its long slumber. Consider this blog my feeble attempt to join God in that mission, and ultimately to partner with Him in what He is already doing: building His hidden Kingdom here…one willing soul at a time.
