Steve Southards
Olathe Campus Pastor
Anything you want to share about family or educational background: While in college, I met my best friend, and somehow convinced her that marrying me was a good idea. Erin and I have been married for six years now and have two kids. Payton is two, and I never knew having a little girl could be so special. Colton is four months old and is already learning to watch out for his big sister!
What is the driving force behind why you do what you do: Calling. God changed my life and as a teenager I experienced God compelling me to invest my life in helping others experience the same thing.
If you had to leave this job/ministry today and couldn't return, what would you miss: Seeing people experience life change never gets old. Watching people who are far from God and discovering life in Him, watching marriages become restored, and watching people find purpose for their life now and for all eternity is what it is all about for me.
What do you love most about God: I am amazed by His grace. Still blown away that God would love and cherish me. Beyond that, I think the greatest thing about God is His ability to make much out of little. It gives me hope!
If you had 30 seconds in an elevator and someone said, "Tell me about you," what would you say: Son of God, passionate husband, intentional father, and avid outdoorsman.
