BIO
Chad Poe spends the year traveling and speaking at various student events. Chad is originally from Chattanooga, TN. He is a graduate of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga where he received a degree in Secondary Education. Following college, he attended Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, TX where he received a Masters of Divinity.
Chad has worked as a minister to students for years. After graduating seminary, God called Chad to a life of itinerant ministry. Chad preaches God’s Word through story telling, media, and visual experience. As a result, the Scripture is clearly presented in order for students and adults alike to examine and apply Biblical truth to their everyday walks of life. As someone not simply called to speak, Chad believes in the importance of relationship and seeks to get to know students when he is away from the stage. Ultimately, Chad hopes to see students moved into a deeper relationship with Christ. In turn, those students will live lives of action that impact their world.
Chad met his wife Hope in Jackson, MS. They currently live in Chattanooga, TN with their son Shepherd. He is an avid reader and infrequent visitor to the gym. He also serves in a supporting role as a lead teacher to the students of Ridgedale Baptist Church. He does this in order to understand the situations and struggles of teenagers and student ministers.
Chad travels full time and is available for conferences, banquets, camps, retreats, Disciple Now weekends, and revivals.
