Tommy Nixon helps leaders move beyond tribal thinking to embrace a radical way of following Jesus.

Author of Embrace the Tension: The Radical Middle (IVP, Sept 2026) |  CEO of Urban Youth Workers Institute  |  Host of The Future Is Here & The Radical Middle podcasts |  25+ years in urban ministry |  Thousands of leaders trained |  $25M+ raised for Kingdom work

I’ve walked the path between worlds for 25+ years—too liberal for conservatives, too conservative for liberals. I’ve led in urban contexts, trained thousands of leaders, and discovered that the best way forward isn’t picking a side. It’s radically following Jesus by embracing tension instead of avoiding it. If you’re tired of polarization, exhausted by culture wars, and searching for a path that actually works—you’re in the right place.
