Our DNA
Loveshaped Life was born out of the deep conviction that seeing, experiencing and living in the wonder of God's love, changes everything. Bob and Nathan formed this organization from a combined background of over forty years spent sharing the story of Jesus. During that time, they both experienced the wonder of God's love in unique, personal ways, especially during some difficult, dark moments in their faith-journey. They've also witnessed its power to bring new life and hope into the lives of others. It is their dream to walk alongside others in the discovering and experiencing this radical love. Through Loveshaped Life, they provide both a community in which to experience this love, as well as tools for living it out wherever you call home. God's love was never meant to be merely a personal experience: it's world-changing. Nathan and Bob invite you to join them on this life-enriching journey into the wildest wonder in the universe: a magnificent God who loves with unhesitating abandon.
We believe seeing, experiencing and resting in God's love is the secret-sauce of a flourishing life.
