About J. A. Medders
Jeff Medders is the Director of Theology and Content for Send Network and the General Editor for New Churches. He is also pursuing his Ph.D. at Southern Seminary in biblical spirituality under the supervision of Dr. Donald S. Whitney. Jeff is a writer, a preacher, a podcaster, and an unashamed coffee snob. He is a native Houstonian, where he lives with his wife Natalie, two kids, and a dog that’s too big.
Writing
Jeff often writes for Desiring God, The Gospel Coalition, For The Church, He Reads Truth, 9 Marks, New Churches, The Gospel Project Curriculum, and more.
Jeff has been published in the Journal of Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from Biola University, and The Southern Baptist Journal of Theology.
Podcasting
You can find Jeff regularly on the New Churches Podcast. And the popular podcast on writing, Home Row: Just Keep Writing, is still available—and rumored to return.
