I (Cody) am incredibly blessed to have married Micah on June 13th 2009. Together, we have 4 amazing children (Jael, Ruth, Esther, and Jude). We currently live and do ministry on the northwest side of Columbus, Ohio.
I grew up in Marysville, Ohio and earned a Bachelor in Bible from Ohio Valley University (2009) with minors in Missions and Youth Ministry. I started full-time church ministry in Kalamazoo, MI in 2009, and then my family and I founded Good News Church in Powell, Ohio in 2014 where I was the Lead Pastor until 2023. Our family currently lives out the local body of Christ through the house church context (reach out if you'd like to learn more).
Personally, I exist to help believers and non-believers be Better Equipped with the grace and truth of Jesus, both in person and online.
