Married to the beautiful Carolyn Asher (his sweetheart)
Has four adorable children: Hannah, Phebe, John Thomas, and Esther
Favorite moments in the ministry: when he walked to represent the father of one of the teens at a high school event, when Rodney graduated from a Christian high school, when four teens made professions of faith after one of the older boys who had been involved with the ministry for several years shared a devotional.
One of his worst moments in urban ministry: when he let one of the high schoolers borrow his car for a few moments and saw him drive by hours later with a car full of people (unfortunately, this happened a few other times as well).
One of the hardest moments in urban ministry: attending the funeral of a teen’s family member who had been shot while sitting on his front porch.
Favorite basketball player: Michael Jordan.
Began working in urban ministry in 1988 and has loved it and been involved with it ever since.
Hobbies: going on dates with his wife and spending individual times with his children, doing outdoor activities, keeping up with the teens who have been part of his ministry and are now adults.
