Picture This: What is Most Important to Me

The most important human relationship I have is with my wife, Faith Stevens. She is an amazing wife, mother and partner in life.

Next to Faith, the most important thing I can do is be a great dad for our four amazing kids (three of them are teenagers!). Both Heather and Megan are good writers and follow in my footsteps through blogging.

For more than 15 years, I have been on staff with Granger Community Church. It has been a privilege to watch the church grow from a congregation of 350 meeting in a movie theater–to a world-impact ministry reaching more than 6,000 locally and tens of thousands around the world. Outside of my family, the most important place I invest my leadership, time and energy is to the staff and congregation at Granger.

I have loved writing since I was a child. And now, through this blog and several books, I’ve been able to combine my love for writing with my passion to help church leaders do better.

I believe the local church has the potential to inspire change and transform communities, and because of that, I love doing whatever I can to help pastors and church leaders. Sometimes that means talking about a failure. Other times it means offering highly practical advice on a proven method or tactic. Whether I’m speaking at a conference or workshop, consulting with a pastor on the phone, or leading a long-term coaching network–I find great fulfillment in adding value to leaders whenever and wherever I can.
