Jim Stevens is a pastor from Melbourne, Australia, where he lives with his wife and 2 daughters and has been pastoring in churches since 2004. Experiencing church both as an outsider and as a contributor, Jim has been a thoughtful observer of the ways in which faith and God are understood and presented in vastly different ways by those within the church as well as those outside the church. Jim has a strong focus on presenting God in a relational, practical and humorous way as life is just better with more laughter and closer relationships.
Like so many others, Jim struggled with the unanswered questions about God, and the certainty with which many Christians seemed to present ideas about God, but at the same time as he was pulled towards cynicism, he was still continually drawn towards God with ongoing intrigue and the hope that God was better than he had thought.
