There are so many great things I could say about Travis, but for the sake of brevity, I’ll just say two: one is that, in his sermons — as well as in our conversations during the interview process — I have found his expression and exposition of the gospel to be both nourishing and worship-fueling. As a congregant, that excites me. And as a staff member, one of my first reactions to our interviews was the thought, “I would love to work with Travis.” He is a gifted communicator who has the unique ability of cultivating big-picture vision while being very aware of the practical, organizational steps required in bringing about that vision.
