I am a pastor, speaker, and writer. I live in Atlanta, Georgia with my wife, Rachel,and our two kids, Ella and Jonathan. My passion is translation – taking ideas and making them accessible for my audience.
With over fifteen years experience in diverse fields, I know how to turn a complex thought into an “a-ha!” moment. Whether I am on a stage or writing for the page, my goal is the same: to make sure that my audience comes away understanding.

Wow, I just read “Waffle House” and MASHALLAH it was brilliant!
I really got inspired by you to study harder and Shasta’s words stuck to me too. I think they will eternally
I didn’t know you are a writer also. Wow, that is great! God has given you many talents and gifts for His glory. I am just starting out as a writer for the glory of God. That is so great how you are sharing God’s love. Keep up the great work of Jesus’ ministry through Pastoring the youth and writing.
Great. God really used Ravi to help me in my faith and witness to a certain type of soul that is part of my harvest.
Very perceptive …. and I wish I had written this!
Thank you!
