Rich VanKoughnett was baptized as an infant in the Roman Catholic Church and made his confirmation in college. His roots were not strong and after college he would move on to study the wide range of varying theological ideologies. He attended Reformed Presbyterian churches, was married in a Wesleyan church, would become a certified minister with the Assemblies of God, and would then run through the various purpose-driven, seeker-sensitive, self-help mega-churches. Rich and his wife were pretty much done with church when he began to listen to a podcast called "Fighting for the Faith" by Chris Rosebrough. This led him to watching Worldview Everlasting by Jonathan Fisk. Before calling it quits on the church, he suggested to his wife that they check out an LCMS Lutheran church down the road. He was fascinated by their teaching. Confessional Lutheran theology finally answered all the questions and frustrations he had at all the previous churches he attended. He now enjoys learning and writing about Confessional Lutheran theology, and is completely addicted to technology. You can follow him on Twitter at @RichVank.
