Isaac Mcnally
Hey, I’m Isaac!
I was born in Layton, Utah, but my family and I moved to Montana when I was 10. I’m grateful to have been raised with my older brother Jake and my younger sister AnneMarie in the Big Sky state where we had the privilege of living in the mountains, hunting and fishing with our dad and good friends.
One of the biggest blessings of my life is that I was raised by two Jesus-loving parents. While my mom battled stage four colon cancer through my early high school years, I got to see her fall in love with Jesus like I’d never seen anyone before, and watched my dad faithfully serve her through times of great weakness and need until her death. My mom’s faith in God and faithfulness until death was what first gave me true hope in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the coming resurrection of all his disciples.
After my mom died my junior year of high school, I struggled through my senior year and battled severely with anxiety and depression in my early college years. My personal relationship with God really flourished towards the end of my sophomore year in college and that led me to move to Matagalpa, Nicaragua where I did mission work for 6 months with my good friend Pablo.
Upon my return from Nicaragua, I moved to Lubbock, Texas, where I got a bachelor's degree in Biblical studies from Sunset Bible Institute. While in Lubbock I fell in love with college ministry, as I was able to spend time with students from Texas Tech and LCU. It was also there that I met my adventurous and beautiful wife, Heather. Following graduation, Heather and I moved to Commerce, Texas where I accepted the job as a college minister serving on the campus of Texas A&M Commerce.
Heather and I quickly became family with many of our college students in Commerce and will forever cherish our three years of serving in campus ministry there. 2019 has been a year filled with increased prayerfulness for Heather and I. We were excited when God opened a door of opportunity for us to move to Seattle and join Sojourn, and we were able to make the move in June. We’re eager to begin developing Christ-centered relationships with students at the University of Washington.
I’m a Denver Broncos, Utah Jazz and Chicago Cubs fan. Since moving to Lubbock, I’ve become a fan of Texas Tech sports, and I’m excited to follow UW sports. I’m an avid outdoorsman who loves to hunt, fish and hike. Heather and I love to hike and camp together with our dog Samson. My wife and I are both really competitive so naturally we like almost any sport. My greatest passion is getting to lead people to a relationship with Jesus, who has brought peace and fulfillment to my life in the midst of hardship and adversity. This life is challenging, but it’s worth the effort when walking alongside Jesus, my wife Heather, and my church family who’ve blessed me every step of the way.
I’d love to get together for lunch or a cup of coffee and hear your story.
