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.

My Background

Education

Concordia University, Irvine (B.A. in Theatre Arts)
Concordia Seminary, St. Louis (Specific Ministry Pastor Program)
Fuller Seminary, Pasadena (Master’s of Divinity)
Graduate of the Dallas Willard School of Kingdom Living

(Btw, as the apostle Paul says in Philippians, I would also consider all of my degrees and credentials UTTER GARBAGE compared to knowing Jesus!)

Specializations

Discipleship, Spiritual Formation, Biblical Greek & Hebrew, Church History, Voice Acting (yeah it’s been a strange road)

Home Life

(My primary discipleship training ground): Husband to my beautiful wife, Kristen. Dad to my incredible son, Cameron. And owner to the world’s most Okay-est dog, Kona.

Hobbies

Hiking, Basketball, Guitar, Disneyland, The Beach (can you guess where I live yet?), Playing Fantasy Football, Reading C.S. Lewis & Dallas Willard, Hanging with Monks at St. Andrew’s Abbey
