Shaun Smith

Standing a few inches taller than anyone else at TruthMedia, Shaun is able to leap over smaller people, medium-sized playground equipment and little barking dogs in a single bound. He is the proud daddy of the loudest daughter (Kaelyn) and son (Joshua) on the planet, and is married to Michelle, who can be loud in her own right.

As a former youth pastor, Shaun desires to build community and discussion within the emerging generations. He is deeply passionate about digging for the 'real', and loves being around people who strive for authenticity.

Shaun also happens to think that the phrase "bok choy" is possibly the most hilarious combination of words in the history of humanity.

Why Church?

I’m excited to go to church. I’ve woken early, driven 45 minutes down the highway, and arrived at church with time to shake the greeters’ hands, make small talk in the foyer, and find a comfortable seat. How very spiritual of me. I listen to great worship music, engage with a thoughtful and informative speaker, […] Read More >
