AUTHOR: Chase McCartney

Chase McCartney is co-founder and teacher at The Burning Hearts Club, and a teaching pastor at East River Fellowship. Passionate about helping believers behold Jesus through the Word of God, he teaches theology, biblical studies, and hermeneutics, equipping others to live lives marked by wholehearted devotion to Christ.

Once a devout atheist, Chase encountered the life-changing grace of God at age 20, a radical transformation that fuels his passion to know Jesus and make Him known. Chase and his wife, Keely, have been married since 2012 and are raising their three children — Caleb, Lucas, and Isabella — to love God and walk in His ways. Together, Chase and Keely served in youth ministry for over a decade, discipling young people to pursue God’s presence above all else.

Today, Chase teaches and writes on Christ-centered theology, worship as priesthood, and spiritual renewal for weary believers, blending Scripture, Church history, and practical application to ignite passion for God in everyday life.
