Meet Our Indiana Campus Pastor: Navy Officer to Pastor Dad of 10 - Pick Up the Mike #64

In this week's episode, Will sits down with Pastor Joe Killeen from the Indiana campus for a "get to know your pastor" conversation. Joe shares his remarkable journey from a Catholic upbringing in Pennsylvania's North Hills through his father's struggles with alcoholism and eventual sobriety. The episode traces Joe's path from rejecting church in a high school philosophy paper to getting saved at 17 through a Young Life ski trip. Joe recounts his Navy service as a damage control officer, the conversation covers his engineering career, move to Indiana for church community, and eventual transition into pastoral ministry after 20 years of preparation. Joe opens up about his family's international adoption, powerfully connecting the legal adoption process to our spiritual adoption as God's children. He shares wisdom on marriage, parenting 10 children, and his approach to sarcasm as sin. The episode concludes with Joe's advice to young fathers about spiritual leadership, the importance of their walk with Christ, and the responsibility they bear for their family's spiritual health.
