Where Ya From?

Courage Through Crisis with Brady Boyd

Hear Pastor Brady Boyd share his experience building bridges that bring the gospel to the tipping points of our culture.

On paper, pastor and author Brady Boyd may seem like an unlikely choice to lead a church. Without any formal seminary training, Boyd’s path to the pulpit is evidence of God bringing the right mentors and discipleship into his life to help develop his gifts and passion for loving people. 

Yet Boyd’s biggest test of holding steadfast to the example of Jesus came to a dramatic crossroads. Only 100 days into his new job, he had to comfort his congregation through the devastation of gun violence that shook the entire community—a community that had just gone through a dramatic scandal that played out on the front page of every national newspaper.

Guest Bio:

Brady Boyd has written several books, including Remarkable, Speak Life, Fear No Evil, Addicted to Busy, Let Her Lead, Sons & Daughters, and Extravagant. He has most recently published the book Life-Minded: 8 Practices for Belonging to God and Each Other and its complementary Bible study with Our Daily Bread Publishing. He’s also cared for the people of Colorado Springs by opening numerous Dream Centers.

Boyd has a degree in journalism from Louisiana Tech University, has been a radio announcer for professional baseball and basketball teams, and was the sports editor for his college newspaper. Before coming to New Life in 2007, he served Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, for almost seven years.

Notes & Quotes:

  • “I’ll look back on this part of my life, and I’ll say the church is more resilient than we think. The gates of hell will not prevail against the church. That what Jesus said about the church is true. That we can overcome anything if we will stay faithful and stay steady and believe in him and trust him.”
  • “The kingdom of heaven is not an independent work. It’s interdependent. It’s built around community. It’s built around trust. It’s built around self-sacrifice.”
  • “We need Jesus. We need his kingdom. We need his power. We are not enough. Jesus is still enough, and we still need him.”
