Hey, I’m Andrew Root.

I often go by Andy. I teach classes on a theology of ministry, youth ministry, and culture  at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN.

At Luther I’m the Olson Baalson Professor of Youth and Family Ministry and have lately been thinking and writing on issues surrounding the intersection of faith and our secular age. 

I’ve written a number of books and have given lectures and presentations across the country and globe both to church groups, universities/colleges, youth workers, and academic communities. 

I live in St. Paul, my wife Kara is a Presbyterian minister and we have two kids (Owen and Maisy) and a dog. When I’m not teaching and writing I watch a ton of TV.
