John was raised in a Christian family and involved in the church from a young age. At the age of 18, he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and was baptized soon after. Since that day, he’s been passionate about growing in his relationship with the Lord and helping others grow. He and his wife, Shelby, have been married since 2017 and have served in churches primarily in the greater Nashville area. John has a heart to see families and students equipped and mobilized to be disciples who make disciples where they live, work, and play.
