About Me

Hello there. My name is Brandon Clements.

I’m married to Kristi, my college sweetheart, and I swoon over her every day. We live in Columbia, SC, where I serve as the Care and Recovery Pastor at Midtown Fellowship. I love my job, and the gospel of Jesus has wrecked me in the best way. What I get to watch God do in the midst of our church family is beyond my ability to describe, so I won’t try…for now.

I love to read and write more than most other things, and I’ve just published my first book, a novel called Every Bush Is Burning. It’s a story about forgiveness, satisfaction, & the sins of the church, and it is available on Amazon, or you can check out more info about the book at EveryBushIsBurning.com.

Above all, my passion is to help people see the beauty of Jesus and His church through the verifiable mess that Christianity in America is today, and I feel called to devote my life to that.

I also love my family, hot sauce, sunglasses, coffee, talking theology…and chapstick. I really, really love my chapstick.

Welcome to my blog, and I hope you enjoy your time here. If you feel so inclined, I’d love to hear from you about whatever is on your mind. My email is brandon@everybushisburning.com.
