What do you love about Bethel?
Definitely the people. I love how many people have chosen to be at Bethel and so many of them are better than gold.
The potlucks are a close second. :)
Why are you serving as Lead Pastor?
Bethel was looking for a pastor at the same time I was looking for a church! It was more than the timing though. I was very excited to see the heart of the church expressed through the four vision statements that Phil Wagler helped Bethel develop. It wasn't exactly a job description but more like a heart description and I was excited to be at a church with that heart. I think that God is up to something at Bethel in this season and I'm glad to be a part of it!
Where do you see God working in your life?
God's grace has become more and more real to me in the past months. If I'm honest, grace used to be something that was real in a general theological sense, but not directly relevant to my day-to-day life. I am steadily learning how much I depend on God's grace for each moment of each day, and it teaches me to be more consistently thankful.
What makes you laugh the most?
One of my favorite things is getting together with people and spending a few hours talking, laughing, and playing games. I'm looking forward to the day when we can do that again. Also, I do love a good prank.
