“Relational ministries and teaching ministries are not in opposition to each other but must live in the tension of both. We must work to build relationships that are based on Biblical truth, and then gets lived out in conversations and relationships.” – Chad Poe
Chad Poe has been speaking biblical truth into students’ lives for years. He believes in the importance of relationships and seeks to get to know people when he is away from the stage. Ultimately, Chad hopes to see students moved into a deeper relationship with Christ through the power of God’s Word. In turn, those students will impact their community and world for Christ’s sake.
Chad is currently the Teaching Pastor at Grace Bible Church. He is the co-host of the Hold On Podcast and is the founder of Through-line Cohort-a ministry that exists to develop communicators of the Bible.
