Nathan is an Idaho native of Kuna & Meridian for all but just shy of a year of his life. His leanings toward tech and audio started early in life. One day as a kid walking and talking to God, because he was too timid to ask for it, said, “If it is ok, I think I’d like to learn about sound.” Years later he was asked if he would learn to run sound for his church. He now enjoys helping our extended brothers & sisters in Christ glorify him with sound across the valley whenever he’s called upon. Outside of church, he enjoys time spent on the basketball court. This is something a member of All Saints reintroduced him to, and he’s been grateful for it ever since.

COUNSELING MINISTRY
Genuine relationships are harder to come by, and as a result, more vital than ever before. One of our values is to be radically relational. A wise counselor defined his role quite simply: “A counselor is a paid friend.” He wasn’t happy about it. It was a reflection on how hard it is to find a good friend. Real friendship may be the most important ministry the church can offer. Jesus calls himself “a friend of sinners.”
A friend, first and foremost, listens in order to know you. A friend seeks to understand you on a deeper level – to understand your context, your background, your strengths and weaknesses, and help you see your own blindspots in order to grow. A friend enables you to slow down and see better, both the big picture and yourself. Most importantly, a friend helps you know the one friend who will never let you down – Jesus.
Appointed Counselors of All Saints work to close the friendship gap, providing a relational depth that our world is often too busy for. If this is something you’re interested in, reach out to our office manager for more information at office@allsaintspca.org.
