전기 및 작가의 여정

Carey Nieuwhof is a Canadian leadership writer, speaker, podcaster, former attorney, and founding pastor of Connexus Church. He has served in ministry since 1995 and led Connexus as its lead pastor until 2015, while building a parallel body of work focused on leadership, change, and personal growth. His background helps explain the range of that work: he has described growing up in a Christian home, drifting in college, recommitting to faith before law school, and later moving from legal practice into ministry. He also holds degrees in law, theology, and history, a combination that has shaped the analytical and pastoral character of his writing. ((https://connexuschurch.com/our-team/carey-nieuwhof/))
