I've had the honor of being part of the Epic Church family since the beginning (10 years now!) and I'm so grateful to be part of such an amazing leadership team. There are several things I believe to my core: 1) a personal relationship with Jesus makes all the difference, 2) living in community with others makes us better, and 3) life is an adventure! I hope you'll join me on this journey as we (together) explore questions about life and faith.
