Episode: Meet Brian Wallace, C4SO’s Suffragan Bishop-Elect
In this special edition of the C4SO Podcast, Bishop Todd and Mickey sit down with Brian Wallace, C4SO’s Suffragan Bishop-Elect, two weeks before his election at our Special Diocesan Convention (April 29). First, Bishop Todd reflects on the discernment process of finding a Suffragan Bishop to work alongside him in the life of the diocese, and why C4SO needs a Suffragan Bishop for strategic, sustainable ministry in the days ahead. Then Brian shares his story, transformative moments of his ministry journey, and what led him to prayerfully consider this crucial role.
Brian Wallace is currently the executive director of the Fuller Center for Spiritual Formation. He holds a doctorate in missiology from Fuller and is a C4SO priest. He spent 11 years as a pastor in Austin, Texas, and 19 years with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, largely as regional director for Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. Fuller Formation Groups were born out of Brian’s extensive doctoral work and years of church and ministry leadership in partnership with Fuller’s Vocation and Formation Department. Brian has been married to his wife, Lisa, for 33 years and they have three adult sons. Brian is an avid Red Sox fan, coffee drinker, and music lover.
