Hey, I’m Beau.

I grew up Southern Baptist and later became a non-denominational pastor.

Now I lead Adult Discipleship at Resurrection Downtown, a United Methodist church in the heart of Kansas City.

This space is called Becoming Mainline because it’s my story…of shifting faith, evolving theology, and finding grace I didn’t expect in a tradition I never thought I’d be part of.

Here, I write about:

  • The tension between the faith we were handed and the one we’re still forming

  • What it means to lead with humility, integrity, and soul

  • The beauty (and challenge) of mainline Christianity in a shifting world

  • And the ways God still meets us in the mundane moments

If you’re rethinking the faith you grew up with…

If you’re longing for a deeper, wider experience of Jesus…

If you’re still becoming too…

You’re in good company.
