​

​
Husband, father, and dad joke aficionado - Jodie's favorite Christian authors include John Piper, J.I. Packer, and C.S. Lewis. His hobbies include jogging with his wife and sampling pie.
Christian Stradley
Christian was a nominal “Christian” from birth to age 19, but by God’s grace, while attending Bible School, the Word pierced his heart and the seeds that were previously planted, took root and produced real salvation and heart change.
Since that point, Christian has had the opportunity to serve as an interim preaching pastor, an intern pastor, and an associate pastor.
He is passionate about teaching rightly the Word of God and therefore, he has led, and still leads several Bible Studies, one-on-one discipleships, and preaches when the Lord opens the door.
In his free time, Christian likes to talk to people, drink coffee, and read good books. Some of his favorite authors are the Puritans, Andrew Murray, and John Piper.
