Justin Erickson came to faith in Christ on July 21, 1992, after years spent angry, purposeless, and fearful, chasing pleasure with no real sense of why he existed. A faithful friend's gospel witness confronted him with the coming judgment and the mercy of the God he had been rejecting, and God transformed him from the inside out. He soon abandoned his career path in sports medicine and athletic training, sensing God's call to preach His Word and shepherd His people.
That call has shaped every season since. Justin earned a B.A. from The Master's University (1998) and an M.Div. from The Master's Seminary (2001), and has served as an associate pastor in California and a senior pastor in Ohio, Nebraska, and Arizona. He now pastors Desert Bible Church in Scottsdale, AZ, where his love for preaching, teaching, equipping the saints, shepherding, and counseling continues to bear fruit. Justin is also President of Hardwired Coaching, drawing on over 25 years of leadership experience across law enforcement, corporations, small business, athletics, the military, education, and faith communities to help leaders get the right people doing the right thing, at the right time, in the right way, for the right reason. He is a licensed SuperUser of the Core Values Index assessment, a speaker, and the author of The Seven Friendships Every Man Needs. He and his wife, Jana, married since 1996, have five children — Emma, Ashlyn, Ty, Janie, and Allie.

Dave is a passionate follower of Jesus, dedicated to nurturing mature disciples and fostering gospel-centered growth. He obtained a bachelor's degree in music and theology from The Master's College in 1997, and later earned a Master of Divinity from The Master's Seminary in 2000. Since 2003, he has served as the lead pastor at Riverview Church. Beyond the pulpit, my heart finds solace in the great outdoors. Whether it's hunting, fishing, or honing my archery skills, he's always found a profound connection to God's creation. Dave has been married to Melissa since 1996. Together, they have three incredible children who continually remind him of the beauty of family, love, and God's grace.
