Ben Patterson
My wife Liz and I have been married for five years. We have two daughters, two sons, and two dogs. We live in Cedar Falls, IA and I am a Junior High Youth Director at Orchard Hill Church.
I’m the oldest of four children and my family remains tight today. We still enjoy gathering together for lunch at Mom and Dad’s every Sunday. When I think of childhood growing up, I remember a positive environment, activities involved with church, and our annual summer vacations.
In my free time, I enjoy sport with the kids, writing, reading, walking, and disc golfing. I’m passionate about Jesus, family, challenging the status quo, and making those three things flow together. Being a husband and a father has opened me up to a whole new world to explore and I enjoy being candid about all of it.
You can contact me via email or follow me on Twitter or Facebook.

Wouldn’t it be great if God revealed everything that was ahead of us in life? The triumphs, tragedies, and everything in between, right? Then we go about our days not having concern about being caught off guard.
