About the Author

Pastor Sean Lumsden graduated from Azusa Pacific University in 1992 with a Bachelor's Degree in Theology and a Minor in Biblical Greek. These degrees were immediately put to use as Sean started in an 18 year career as a waiter. In 1996, Sean was licensed as a Pastor from the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. Shortly after, he planted "jacobs ladder" one of the first 'Gen-x' churches in the nation. Not a particularly large church, their slogan was "come to jacobs ladder and get alone with God." Eventually Sean and his family went to Spokane, Washington where Sean helped start a few churches. Additionally, he worked as a financial planner, national-award winning advertising copywriter, radio disc-jockey, music instructor and again as a waiter. Currently, Sean is the pastor of Living Hope Foursquare, a funky little church in a funky part of Spokane. At Living Hope, their church aims to make people 'Jesus-ish'. Their slogan is 'creating Christ-like people who love people like Christ.' Sean still writes commercials while he pastors, and in his spare time he hangs out with his family, collects musical instruments, plays tennis and takes his Saab into the shop for repairs.
