Hey there, I’m caeden!

Let me introduce myself

I was born and raised a pastor’s kid, and from an early age, through the faithfulness of my parents, I developed a deep love for the local church. I often say I was saved at seven, but fully surrendered at seventeen. In the summer of 2023, God got a hold of my life in a profound way, realigning my heart to a calling He had placed in me as a boy, a call to faithfully preach the Word and pastor people.

Today, I am 20 years old, and I serve as the Youth and Media Director at Creekside Church in Dallas, Georgia, while also studying full-time at Shorter University, pursuing a degree in Biblical Studies and Christian Apologetics.

Above all, my heart is burdened with one mission: equipping the next generation to live unashamed of the Gospel. We are living in a unique moment in the life of the Church, and I believe God is preparing to awaken this generation to holy, faithful living. I don’t know about you, but I want to be a part of it.

HEAR ME TEACH!

I am passionate about seeing a move of God that results in disciples that make disciples. I want to be both culturally aware of the enemy’s schemes that war against the minds and hearts of this generation, and deeply rooted in the heart of God, namely, calling people to full surrender to His Word and seeing lasting fruit produced in their lives.

Each month, I host The Un-Despised Youth Podcast, with the mission of inspiring a generation to live unashamed of the Gospel and pursue a radical move of God.

I have the honor of serving as the Media Director at Creekside Church, where I oversee the creative direction of our social media and help strategically reach our community.

caeden’s weekly thoughts

Substack has become a space for me to stretch my writing and grow in a craft I hope to carry into a future book—something that’s been a lifelong dream.

My goal is to use this space weekly to share my thoughts on theology, apologetics, faith interests, and the questions shaping Christians today.

My latest post was sparked by a conversation with our worship pastor, Corey, during Lent—I’d love for you to check it out.
