Key Details

🎤 Speaker: Barton Priebe

Dr. Barton Priebe is a pastor, author, and leader with a deep passion for helping men live grounded, courageous lives of faith. He served as a lead pastor for over 20 years, walking alongside people through seasons of doubt, growth, and transformation while pointing them to the grace of God in everyday life. He is the author of Adopted by God: Discover the Life-Transforming Joy of a Neglected Truth and The Problem with Christianity: Six Unsettling Questions You Have Asked, both available on Amazon.

Dr. Priebe currently serves as President of Northwest College & Seminary, where he is committed to forming Christ-like leaders who combine theological depth with real-world faithfulness. His teaching resonates with honesty, hope, and a compelling call for men to live out their identity as beloved sons of God. We are excited to welcome Barton back to Qwanoes!
