J. Kevin Butcher and William Mack are two of the pivotal team members of Rooted Ministries, an organization that exists to see pastors, Christian leaders, and churches rooted in the love of God and equipped through authentic mentoring and connection.
Kevin is the Founder of rooted as well as the author of “Choose and Choose Again: the Brave Act of Returning to God’s Love” and “Free: Rescued from Shame-Based Religion, Released into the Life-Giving Love of Jesus”. Serving as a lead pastor for 35 years, Kevin has lived the shepherding life – and connected intimately with countless pastors from every background, gender, ethnicity and denomination along the way. He and his best friend and wife Carla live in Colorado.
Mack is the Director of Pastoral Care for Rooted. With a background in creative arts, theology, and family/community development, he is a casually charismatic and disciplined communicator that combines a “real talk” sensibility with a shepherd’s firm, but gentle guidance to create safe spaces for those he coaches. Mack currently resides in Chicago with his wife Tori.
Rooted’s Abide Retreat, will take place on October 17-19, 2022, in Colorado Springs, CO. Scholarships are available.
