Brandon’s Bio
Since June 2016 Brandon has been a journalist with the Christian Post. He enjoys exploring the intersection of faith and politics and has reported on a wide range of subjects. Earlier this year he became the host of the CP podcast. He was first inspired to break into a career in writing/journalism
while mopping floors and scrubbing toilets as a church custodian in April 2015.
In 2007 he earned a B.A. from Bridgewater College of Virginia, is a fellow of the John Jay Institute for Faith, Society, &, Law, and is a graduate of a three-year program at Bethel School of Ministry in Redding, California. He serves on the board of the Brushfires Foundation, a ministry that equips
Christian leaders to foster sexual integrity, healing, and wholeness in their churches and communities.
His most favorite thing to do in life is to sing, and in 2014 he released an EP called Song of Psalms.
