Rev. Kirk Winslow is Pastor for Adult Discipleship at Irvine Presbyterian Church (Irvine, CA) and is currently serving as the 2012 moderator of the Presbytery of Los Ranchos.  Once in a while Fuller Theological Seminary is crazy enough to let him teach preaching to the next generation of pastors.  But mainly he’s a guy with a Diet Mountain Dew addiction and an unhealthy affection for Greek grammar, ancient history, and late-night conversation (see Mtn Dew above).

Having sworn a public oath to never be clergy (“because church people are weird”) he was promptly thrown into church from which he has yet to escape.  Fortunately, he has come to like it there, and discovered in the process that church people are no weirder than average (perhaps even slightly less so; the weird ones just get all the press…).

His current mission in life is to make make his contribution to the betterment of the world, which probably has something to do with teaching stuff.  In particular he teaches courses in biblical studies, church history, systematic theology and spiritual formation, though you can get him talking about anything…no, seriously…please don’t get him started.  No…SERIOUSLY!  He also does some speaking and consulting in the world of corporate ethics (if you want more on that, click here).

When not yammering away about some awesome lecture he just heard or book he just discovered, you can find him dreaming of racing cars, hanging out at his favorite cafe, or planning that trip to Italy.  

He is married to Emily, whom all agree is far too good for him.

Someday he will get his act together and publish that book.   Until then, a group of people has teamed up and pressured him into blogging.
