Jodi Adams is a teacher, author, and visionary for community worship. She has served as a worship pastor in an emergent church setting and now serves a number of Denver-area churches as a consultant, working to equip worship leaders for transformative worship.

Passionate about empowering artists and leaders to take their congregations beyond the culture box, Jodi is a contributor to CTI's FaithVisuals.com and speaks regularly on the convergence of cultural issues and worship. In 2006, she began the Stained Glass Project as a forum for worship leaders and pastors who are seeking community and new frameworks for worship conversations.

Jodi is currently completing her M.Div. at Denver Seminary and finishing her first book, which is due out next year. She and her jazzy husband, Justin, live in Denver with their three children: Sara, Anna-Michelle, and Leo, along with Karma the Wonder Dog.
