Hiya! I’m glad you found me in this lil corner of the web. This is where I try to “think out loud” about faith, culture, community, and mission. Our Western world is full of spiritually-curious souls who are institutionally skeptical. I’d like to have conversations about essence and transcendence, divinity within humanity, and contribution within community. I try to find ways through short posts, books, videos and on-site hospitality events to make walls into on-ramps and barriers into pathways…because nothing is for nothing.

Small-Batch Disciplemaking: A Rhythm for Training the Few to Reach the Many
What if, as part of how earnest Christians work out their salvation, wasn’t to settle for conversion, volunteering in a ministry, or even gaining knowledge? Rather, what if one’s salvation - in light of Christ’s promise for new life - could mean we also learn to reproduce the life of Christ in others spiritually?
Packed with Scriptural framing, helpful metaphors, stories, and insightful teaching, Small-Batch Disciplemaking equips you with missional, animating, and relational ways to re-think how you can participate in Christ’s disciple-making vision.
David Sunde
I collaborate with an ecosystem of faith-based, community organizations, pastors, and spiritual leaders as a Spiritual Director, Thought Partner, and Missional Catalyst. I’d love to explore ways I could be a resource in your context.
I’ve been involved in professional non-profit and spiritual leadership for over 20 years. I’m a native son of San Francisco, the son of an immigrant, and learned to make a lower level of assumption about culture, class, race, and religion against this backdrop of diversity. Along the way, I’ve sought to keep learning - bachelor’s in public administration from San Diego State University and a master’s degree from Azusa Pacific University. I’m currently working on a Doctorate in Semiotics, Culture & the Church through George Fox University.
David and his wife, Laurel, have two kids, Bjorn and Annika and live in Austin, TX.
