About
Bryan has been married to Patti since 1981 and has three daughters. Bryan and Patti live south of Lincoln on an acreage where he enjoys fishing, horses, blacksmithing, welding, restorations, leatherwork and playing the cello.
Bryan graduated from Moody Bible Institute in 1980 and attended the University of Nebraska. He graduated from Talbot Seminary with a Master of Arts in Education, a Master of Divinity equivalency and Doctor of Ministry from Denver Seminary.
Bryan has been a featured speaker at Moody Bible’s Founder’s week as well as various conferences and retreats both here in the states and overseas. He served as the Bible teacher for Back to the Bible for one year and is currently doing a podcast with Dan Whitney (Larry the Cable Guy) called Talk’n Truth. He has written for various organizations and publications such as Back to the Bible, Haven of Rest Ministries, AWANA Pathway, and Leadership Journal. He has also written several books that are available under the resource tab below. Be on the lookout for Bryan’s newest book, God’s Not Like That, with David C. Cook Publishers in July 2023!
Bryan has served as a Senior Pastor for nearly four decades. He served 10 years as Senior Pastor in the small rural community of Broken Bow, Nebraska. He has been at Lincoln Berean since 1993. In August of 2021 Bryan transitioned to the role Senior Pastor Emeritus. In this new role Bryan continues to be involved in pastoral ministry, including serving as part of the preaching team, but is no longer part of the senior leadership team. This change has allowed more flexibility to serve the wider church in various ways.
Preaching Workshop
About: This workshop focuses on expository preaching discussing how to rightly divide the Word of Truth and how to communicate the truth to a contemporary audience. The workshop is designed for a small group (6 - 10 people) to assure it stays personal and practical. It’s not a conference; it’s a workshop. This also allows us to learn from one another.
Time Commitment: The workshop requires 2 full days back-to-back (9 to 5).
Setting: The setting can be a church, a home, a retreat center or hotel.
Cost: Cover expenses only.
Weekend Family Seminar (Available 2024)
About: What is God’s intended purpose for the family? What exactly are we trying to accomplish? How would God define a win for the family? How do we accomplish this purpose? How did your family of origin shape your view of God in ways you are completely unaware of today?
Time Commitment: Friday evening and Saturday morning
Friday evening: The family, the culture and the challenges we face. How do we raise godly children in a secular culture?
Saturday morning: Experiencing God at home. The role of the husband, wife, father, mother and creating an environment of grace at home.
