On Episode 25 of the More of Us podcast, Beau Stanley (Senior Pastor at East Side Grace) shares his personal journey from the financial industry to pastoral ministry, finding fulfillment in the local church's blend of theological depth and practical application. He candidly discusses how his lifelong struggle with obsessive-compulsive disorder has shaped his spiritual growth, emphasizing the ongoing process of learning to trust God's love and relinquish his desire for control.

Beau has been the Senior Pastor at East Side Grace in Columbus, Ohio since 2018. Prior to that he served for eleven years at Grace Polaris Church and four years in the financial industry. He holds an M.Div. from Phoenix Seminary and a B.S. in commerce from the University of Virginia.

The More of Us podcast highlights pastors within the Charis Fellowship as they give their perspectives on life, pastoral ministry, and walking with Jesus. We trust as you hear More of Us, you'll see Christ among us.
