My Ministry

Weekly Podcast

I hail from the cornfields of the Midwest but currently enjoy the South Florida sunshine with my spouse Sally and our four incredible kids: Libbie, Lucy, Harris, and Matthew. You’ll find me to be passionate, creative, insightful, and above all else… quirky. Though I have had the privilege of pastoring several of America’s largest and fastest-growing churches, I left that life behind to found and lead Christ’s Table, a ministry dedicated to those who are disconnected, disillusioned, or done with the institutional church.

What Others Say

"I just have to tell you that your words are a breath of fresh air. I see a glimmer of hope through your words and it’s helping me work through a good amount of anger and frustration that is directed at the institution of 'the church.' I am so grateful for your openness and honesty... keep it coming."

Matthew

"Thank you for standing up for what's right.  I have no doubt it has made your career and some friendships more difficult.  The reason I want to thank you is that it's you and one other pastor I know that helps me maintain what little faith I still have.  Thanks for standing up for the God I learned about growing up."

Ray

"Love that you’re affirming to people who feel like they don’t fit."

Stefanie

"Thank you for your online presence and being vulnerable and willing to discuss the hard topics... I am thrilled to now have biblical sound arguments to defend some of the things I have been saying and thinking for years but have always gotten my hand slapped."

Anne

"THANK YOU FOR BEING COURAGEOUS!!"

Mary

"I am so appreciative of you and your use of your platform to truly strengthen the kingdom.  Thank you for being the ally that you are and please know that my respect for you has grown immensely over the past couple of years.  BTW, your health transformation has been INCREDIBLE.

Mike

"Thank you for speaking out against the absurdities of the current Christian culture and bringing our focus back to more important things."
