Frequently Asked Questions

Why are you leaving your role as Campus Pastor of Saddleback Brea?

One simple (and difficult) word: “Obedience“. I am choosing to follow my leader, Jesus, as He is calling me. I am now following him just as I have prayed for and encouraged each person in our church to do every week. You can find out more information at the “About” Page.

What are you going to be doing?

This will be a new endeavor. This vision God has put in front of me involves a number of new initiatives to engage, equip, and empower the leaders of the next generation. At the start, I’ll be starting a non-profit and helping develop local leaders in churches, schools, and other areas. A few examples right now are integration of character development programs at schools, preparing tools for family discipleship, and consulting for non-profits and churches.

Will you be attending Saddleback Church?

We hope to partner with a number of churches, including Saddleback Church, in the future and our relationship with the church and individuals is still very strong but we will be stepping out of Saddleback. I love this church, but if I could continue what God has callled me to do while remaining here then I would. But it has been clear that God is calling me out of Saddleback at this time despite all the wonderful things He has taught me, shown me, and used me in during my time here.
