remember being radically moved by hearing people respond to the Lord’ s presence like I was in private. And so, from that point on, you know, I kept doing my own thing, pursuing music and ministry and then ended up in Sacramento as a worship leader. I got my first worship pastor job there at a church in Roseville called The Rock. And then Jesus Culture ended up coming to me.
My wife and were kind of toying with the idea of moving to Redding. And then I got an email one day that Jesus Culture was launching in my in my town. Not my hometown, but the town we were currently living in that time.
And a couple of years later, we jumped in. I think it’ s interesting. Everyone will have a different story of what it feels and looks like to merge into something that has such a long, deep history. If I’ m just speaking honestly for myself and at times, it can be really confronting.
