Tyler is the student pastor at Edinbrook Church in Brooklyn Park, MN where he resides with his wife, Laura, and their 3 children. He enjoys coffee, ice cream, disc golf, softball, and most importantly, teaching others about Jesus! Tyler grew up in a Christian home, went through AWANA and confirmation, and would have been described as the “Good Christian Kid.” Even though he never stopped believing in God, he still struggled with hidden sins. He thought God didn’t want anything to do with him and wanted to end his own life because he hated living a lie. His life changed in 8^th grade when he asked God, “If you really love me, prove it.” Not long after, he was attending an event where the speaker was explaining the gospel. The pastor said “God knows you and loves you.” In that moment, he heard his prayer answered and surrendered to Jesus.
