Bio: John Hambrick John hales from Ventura, California where he grew up surfing and playing guitar. He graduated second in his class from Pepperdine University and then attended Fuller Theological Seminary. His first call as an ordained Presbyterian Pastor was to Community Presbyterian Church also in Ventura. He subsequently held positions with Young Life, The American Church in London, Kings College – University of London, and Peachtree Presbyterian Church in Atlanta, Georgia. He first started writing non-fiction early in his career. He worked as a free-lance writer/editor for Gospel Light/Regal Books where he produced curriculum, study guides, and the occasional book chapter. In 1994 he contributed two sidebar articles to Baker Book House’s Leadership Handbook of Practical Theology, Vol. 2. After completing a doctorate from Columbia Theological Seminary, he wrote and edited introductions for all 66 books of The Starting Point Bible, published by Zondervan. He is currently on staff at North Point Community Church’s Buckhead Campus. He serves there as the Director of Staff Development and the Director of Starting Point. He is a Staff Coach for North Point Ministries. Within that context John coaches or mentors a wide variety of staff members. In 2006 John was asked to build a system that made it easy for small groups to serve out in the community. As a result, “The Intersect Project” was born. Today The Intersect Project is a stand-alone ministry division that exists within North Point Ministries. It has staff members on multiple campuses. While involved with Intersect and small group ministries, John coined the phrase “move toward the mess” that Andy Stanley, in his book, Deep & Wide, cites as one of the organization’s primary ministry principles. David C Cook subsequently published John’s first book, Move Toward the Mess, in April of 2016. On March 19,2019, Abingdon Press published John’s second book, Black & White: disrupting racism one friendship at a time, which he has co-written with Teesha Hadra. John is married to Patty, who is an art teacher at a public elementary school. They have two grown children, John Jr. and Carrell, and a Golden Retriever named Dodger.
