CRAIG OLSON | Teaching Pastor @ Crossroads Christian Church

CRAIG OLSON is my nephew-in-law. Like my nephew Tyler Swaney, Craig is also a pastor. In six years, he will be the Senior Pastor of Crossroads Christian Church in Corona, California. Where Tyler knew he wanted to be a pastor, Craig has a different story. And that's what makes today's conversation so good. A Southern California native, Craig's journey brought him and his family to Northern California where he worked alongside Pastor Brian Hopkins at Bayside Folsom. And his love for Alabama and the Buffalo Bills? We find out how that happened in today's episode.

HOST STEVE BUZZARD on Craig Olson |  "I remember when we found out that Craig was going to be a part of our family when he asked my niece Christina to marry him. We were pumped. I love his energy and he is fun to hang out with. My bucket list item with Craig is to watch an Alabama game with him."

Our Connection |  This one is also simple. Tyler is my nephew-in-law. He married my niece Christina Olson. I had the honor of being the DJ for their wedding in Southern California. It was epic. And the 3.5 years in Northern California were a lot of fun!
