I am the Pastor of Preaching & Vision at Revolution Church in Tucson, AZ. We are an Acts 29 church that dreams of saturating the city of Tucson with gospel-centered church planting churches.
The goal of this blog is to write about leadership, preaching, theology and how it relates to life and following Jesus. You will find book reviews, thoughts on marriage, sex, and parenting, things I come across in sermon prep, things related to my family or Revolution Church and some random things that just happen.
Who Reads My Blog
While most of the content is driven to leaders, pastors and their wives, but people from all walks of life follow this blog. My goal is to write a blog about the things I am passionate about and through my journey as a leader and follower of Jesus, to help you in your journey.
I typically blog 4 – 5 times a week. To make sure you don’t miss the most recent posts, be sure to suscribe here and follow the instructions based on your preference.
Discussion Welcome
I am writing to launch a good discussion. I think everyone learns more when ideas can be processed, wrestled with, and pushed on. Please jump in and comment on the content here. If you agree, encourage me and say so. If you disagree, push back. If you’re not sure, share your thoughts or ask a question. Please do so respectfully and thoughtfully, as I do reserve the right to delete comments that I think “cross the line.”

My Biography
I am married to an incredibly beautiful woman, Katie (follow her on twitter @KatieReich), and we have 4 kids, 3 boys and a girl, (thankfully our daughter looks more like her mom everyday). We are also in the process of an international adoption from Ethiopia and have recently completed a domestic adoption.
I have a B.S. in Pastoral Leadership from Lancaster Bible College and an M.Div. in Organizational/Missional Leadership from Biblical Seminary. In addition to writing here, some of my writing also appears at The Resurgence and Church Leaders.
I am a passionate Steelers fan and I read like it is going out of style (secretly I always wish I would have bought stock in Amazon because I keep them in business). If you’d like to see what I’m reading now or just got done reading, go here.
I am a Starbucks addict, which is where you can find me most of the time either reading or having a meeting, my current fav is a Grande Skinny Caramel Macchiato w/ Whip (the skinny & whip cancel each other out).
If you ever want to do something nice for me, a gift card to Starbucks or Amazon will be just fine.
