a little about me...

  1. Spencer has always been fascinated with individual and collective spiritual stories and has chronicled these through his photography. His work has been collected and exhibited in galleries, and he has taught photography at the university level. He is the creator of TheOOZE.com, a safe online community for a diverse faith-based population to connect through articles, message boards and social networking. This community has grown to include over 250,000 monthly visitors from ninety countries.


  2. He is the author or co-author of numerous articles and books including "Making Sense of Church", "Stories of Emergence", and “A Heretic’s Guide to Eternity”. Spencer is also the co-founder the Damah Film Festival, the only short film festival with the unique focus of exploring the spiritual dimension of life through diverse perspectives.


  3. After achieving more than he dreamed as a teaching pastor at a mega-church, Spencer refocused on his original desires to love, serve, and live a grace-filled life. Spencer lives with Lisa, his wife of 20 years, and children, Alden and Grace in Southern California.
