Hey! I’m so glad you’re here.

I want you to know Jesus in a way that knocks you sideways. To see His fingerprints all over your life. To trust Him so much that you can breathe deep, laugh hard, and give Him room to grow you in wild ways.

That’s how we’re trying to live around here. Come on in and join us!

Grow Wild

The Grow Wild Podcast

On Grow Wild, we open the Bible and work through what it looks like to follow Jesus right there, where you’re actually living. We bring our mess, wrestle with the tough stuff, and laugh hard along the way. Through it all, we’re giving God room to grow us in ways we wouldn’t have thought to ask for.

Making Scripture make sense. And stick.

I unpack the Bible with depth and enthusiasm, making connections that help people understand what they’re reading and get excited to keep looking. Expect stories, laughter, and teaching that gives people something to wrestle with after they leave.
