Brad Edwards

Brad Edwards is the lead pastor of The Table in Boulder County, CO. He grew up viewing Christianity as an unfamiliar concept, often questioning its practices and symbols. Initially critical of the faith, he perceived it as hypocritical and anti-intellectual. This changed dramatically during a profound identity crisis in late college, leading him through a year of depression. This period marked a turning point, opening his eyes to the intellectual depth and existential satisfaction of the Gospel.

Together with his wife, Hannah, and their two sons, Ransom and Deacon, Brad has embarked on a series of adventures. These include establishing new churches with close friends, founding an award-winning arts non-profit, and roles as both a pastor and Army Chaplain. Brad’s interests range from analyzing enneagrams (he’s a 3w4) to skiing, managing his energetic dog Scout, critiquing TV show finales, and perfecting cocktail recipes.
