It is safe to say that Waylon has an intense passion for the Word of God and for that Word to be taught and lived in truth. He is a mobilizer, preaching the Kingdom of God and challenging students in churches, youth groups, schools, and colleges to live out their faith—what following Jesus in this hour means. That devotion requires us to embrace Christ and find out what the King is doing on this earth and giving our lives to partner with Him. Waylon is 28-years-old and has been preaching and teaching since 2001, presenting a call to repent from living for self and to actively live your faith both here in the US and around the world. Jesus has led Waylon all over the world carrying the conviction that it is the “truth” that will set men and women free (John 8:32) and spread the vision to advance God’s Kingdom. Waylon is supported and partnered in ministry and life with his beautiful wife Natalie and their wonderful son, Judah Daniel.
