I’ve been married to Molly since 2001. We have three daughters, Abby, Caitlin and Mary and one son, Hank. We like to laugh, play, swim, watch football, and learn.
I graduated from the University of Illinois with a B.A. in Speech Communication, where I played baseball and married a swimmer. I also have an M.A. in Missional Theology from Covenant Theological Seminary, in partnership with the Missional Training Center in Tempe, AZ.
I also help other pastors and church planters through my resource and coaching ministry, Faithful & Fruitful.

I have been married to Taylor since 2013. Our son Jay was born in 2019 and our daughter Olivia was born in 2022. Our favorite brands are Kirkland Signature and Traeger.
I love being a part of Ironwood Church - raising my family here has been one of the best decisions I’ve made as a Dad. It’s a wonderful community.
I wrote of Authentic Masculinity. You can find my articles, podcasts, and other resources at sethtroutt.com. I did my undergrad at ASU, my masters at Phoenix Seminary, and my doctorate at Covenant Theological Seminary. -

I married Kristie in 2001, and we are blessed with 5 kids: Bethany, Harper, Benjamin, Judah, and Shiloh.
I have been serving in ministry since 1998, and vocationally since 2004. God continues to show me more and more of my sin as I mature in Him, but He also shows me more and more of Himself and His grace that covers me, for which I am eternally grateful!
I have a B.A. in Finance and an M.B.A. from Arizona State University, as well as an M.A. in Missional Theology from Covenant Seminary, in partnership with the Missional Training Center.
