I am senior pastor at Fall Creek Wesleyan Church, a thriving, missional congregation in Fishers, Ind., the fastest-growing suburb of Indianapolis and one of the fastest-growing communities in America.
My aim is to help you succeed at Christian life and leadership in one of the most challenging contexts for authentic faith—the American suburb.
If you are a pastor, church leader, or layperson who is serious about living like Jesus, this blog is for you.

My Biography
I have been in ministry for nearly all of my adult life, serving as a pastor for over 14 years and as editorial director at Wesleyan Publishing House for seven years.
Currently I am senior pastor at Fall Creek Wesleyan Church, where I’m privileged to lead a growing, missional congregation of Christ followers. I believe that Jesus Christ has the power to transform lives, and that’s the focus of my preaching, teaching, and writing.
I am a graduate of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (M.Div.), where my studies focused on the New Testament. I am now pursuing doctoral studies at the Anderson University School of Theology, a great program that is helping me tackle the challenge of doing evangelism in suburban Indianapolis.
My wife, Heather, is a best-selling author, teacher, and the love of my life. We have a blended family of six children.
