Braden Greer

“We never move on from the cross, only into a more profound understanding of the cross.”

These words and the message they came from would radically alter the trajectory and theology of Braden’s life.  Little did his mom know how much her gift of a trip to New Attitude would impact her son’s life.  C.J. Mahaney’s teaching on keeping the cross of Christ central to everything was mind-blowing for Braden the first time he heard it.  It was as if he was getting saved all over again—which had happened only several months prior to this pivotal event.

After that Braden made all the necessary changes at grad school in Virginia so that he could be a member of Covenant Life as soon as possible.  God blessed this decision over and over.  The fellowship, teaching and training he has benefited from are impossible to quantify.  The training in the Pastor’s College and now the equipping he’s continually receiving from working with men he respects only adds to his gratefulness.

As if that wasn’t enough, after sharing the same copier together in Covenant Life School, Braden finally got the courage to talk to the girl of his dreams.  He and Christy quickly became friends and about a year later were married.  They love to talk about and eat good food together, watch old movies and are currently learning to dance.  They also love to laugh at all the things their precocious daughter Madeleine has to say.  Madeleine’s younger brother Caleb is all boy and loves to throw, tear and break stuff—for which they are sometimes grateful!
