David Cassady

David is the president of the Baptist Seminary of Kentucky, located in Georgetown, Kentucky. He is also the founder and president of Faithlab, a publishing and communications firm focused on helping churches and religious non-profit organizations.

He earned a B.A. in Religion and Philosophy from OBU, studied philosophy at Baylor University, and received an M.Div. C.E. and a Ph.D. in Christian Education from Southern Seminary. David has served as minister in churches in Arkansas and Kentucky, and has worked in publishing and media for nearly 20 years.

David is renowned for his short attention span, which he credits for gaining a wide variety of interests including the future of the church, Christian education, technology and photography.

When not rooting for the Arkansas Razorbacks (Go Hogs!), he likes to annoy his family, listen to jazz and classic rock, smoke meat on his Big Green Egg, tinker with his vintage computer collection and visit with his pals at Waffle House.

Nikki Hardeman

Rev. Nikki Carroll Hardeman is the Director of Admissions at the McAfee School of Theology in Atlanta, Georgia.

Daniel and Nikki have two children at home: Natalie, a curious and sensitive eight-year-old and Liam, a very busy four-year-old. They also have a lovable rat terrrier, Jayne. When she has a free moment, Nikki enjoys traveling, watching great T.V. shows on Netflix, taking on new projects around the house, and learning to quilt.

Daniel Glaze

Daniel is a husband, father, and pastor in Richmond, Virginia. The staff at the church where he pastors considers him their own Michael Scott, just not as self-aware.

He is a graduate of Georgetown College, Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond, and Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Daniel came to Richmond from Ahoskie, North Carolina, where he also served as pastor.

Daniel is married to Andrea, an Industrial-Organizational psychologist (which basically means she’s much, much smarter than he is). They are the proud parents of two daughters, Ella and Ashley, who are the proud owners of a spirited and frisbee-loving Australian Shepherd named Micah. For Sabbath time, Daniel enjoys family activities, searching for the best cup of coffee, channeling his inner chef, and learning photography.
