Nathaniel Vanderploeg lives in Kelso, WA, with his wife Katie and their two daughters. After serving as Associate Pastor at Rose Valley Friends Church since 2018, Nathaniel is now stepping into a new season of faith—planting a Friends church in Portland, Oregon. Our conversation centers on his willingness to go all in with God, embracing the freedom that comes from surrender, risk, and wholehearted obedience.
This week, we engage with co-host Brian Donahue as he’s been launching a new church plant. It might be the first time that someone has planted a church specifically for Trekkies! Learn more about Brian’s heart for the Star Trek Community and how the online model is a key method.
