Travis is gospel-centered in all areas of his ministry, from preaching, mission development, to calls to action. In speaking about diversity, he does not pursue it because it is a good thing to do, but because it’s the gospel thing to do. Relationally, I have found that Travis is willing to take the extra step in strengthening our bonds in Christ. For example, in the course of the search process, there were necessary and challenging discussions between the candidate and committee, and afterwards he would show us that we are still brothers and sisters in Christ.
