40 Under 40: Rachel Oblon

RACHEL OBLON Missional life pastor, Parkcrest Christian Church, Long Beach, California Rachel may be one of the best young leaders you have not yet heard about, but my guess is your children will remember her if they”ve been to Christ In Youth conferences. They have been moved by her stories, conviction, and passion as they”ve heard her speak over the past several years. What they don”t get to hear about are the ways this young woman, who is barely 30, influences a church of people who are mostly older than she. She leads with humility, coupled with a conviction of

40 Under 40: Jeremy Brown

JEREMY BROWN Lead pastor, Journey Church, Medina, Tennessee You need spend only a little time with Jeremy to see he is an influencer.

40 Under 40: Aaron Brockett

AARON BROCKETT Lead pastor,  Traders Point Christian Church,  Indianapolis, Indiana “Masterful” was the only word in the e-mail I sent to Aaron on a Monday morning to comment on his sermon of the day before.

Aaron”s teaching is relevant while firmly grounded in Jesus and his story . . . lengthy but highly engaging . . . delivered without notes yet extremely well-prepared. He is straightforward but
