Hi, I'm Robert.
Pastor. Writer. Disciple-maker. Chocolate lover. Husband to Lisa, and dad to Brayden, who serves in the U.S. Coast Guard. I lead Sherwood Community Friends Church in Sherwood, Oregon, where Lisa and I have planted our lives.
I've spent over two decades in ministry and leadership, hold a Master's in Pastoral Counseling, and have had the privilege of taking the Gospel to Nicaragua, Greece, Haiti, Brazil, the Czech Republic, and beyond. I've led churches through growth and hard seasons, walked alongside people in their best and worst moments, and never once stopped being convinced that following Jesus is worth everything it costs.
When I'm not preaching, writing, or sitting across from someone trying to figure out their next right step, you'll find me on a hiking trail, rucking around the neighborhood, or standing in front of my Traeger making no apologies for it.
Years ago, I started writing — not because I had it all figured out, quite the opposite actually, but because I kept meeting followers of Jesus who were faithful, sincere, and quietly stuck. They believed. They showed up. But somewhere along the way the fire in them had dimmed, or the call had gotten louder and they didn't know what to do with it.
That's why The Deeper Yes exists. Every Tuesday I send out a free weekly email that goes deep into Scripture, Biblical context, and the real-life application behind what it actually means to follow Jesus. Not a devotional. Not a pep talk. The kind of thing that makes you stop, think, and do something differently.
If any of that resonates, you're in the right place.
