Youth & College Pastor, Landmark Church
Dawson is a Youth and College Pastor by day and a varsity football coach by night. When he's not helping students grow in their faith, he's helping high school student-athletes build a bridge between faith and their sport.
He also works with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, where his job is to remind young athletes that faith and competition aren’t mutually exclusive—though somehow, “winning" and “sharing your snack” never seem to go hand in hand.
A retired college athlete himself, Dawson knows all too well that life and sports are both about perseverance, good game plans, and finding ways to make bad jokes in the huddle. (He also knows that, as a pastor, he’s probably not allowed to tackle anyone in church, no matter how much they deserve it.)
Outside of work, Dawson enjoys building elaborate Lego structures (because, obviously, you can fix your whole life by sorting 1,000 tiny pieces) and spiraling into YouTube rabbit holes that lead to things like “The World’s Largest Rubber Band Ball.”
Today, Dawson is here to share a message that’s equal parts humor, faith, and football—because why not?
