My name
is Tyler Best.

I was sitting in my favorite chair, planning my 101-year-old great-grandmother's funeral, while in front of me, our boys were turning the living room into what looked like Santa's workshop after an earthquake. And right there, between grief and chaos, I had a revelation about Christmas that I can't shake.

From the rolling hills of Southern Indiana to the pulpit and beyond, my journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to faith, service, and continuous learning.
