Hey IO! I'm Heath Miller and I'm the director of Browns Bridge InsideOut. I'm originally from Alabama where I went to school at Huntingdon College. I began working in student ministry in 2011 while serving at Golden Springs Baptist Church and attending New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, where I graduated from in 2014. My wife Erin and I were married in 2017, and we moved to Forsyth County in 2018 when I began working at Browns Bridge Church.
Favorite scripture:
Jesus' Parable of the Talents from Matthew 25, specifically verse 23: "His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.'"
If I could say one thing to encourage an InsideOut Leader:
Working with students is like planting a tree. You dig, you sow, you water, you pull weeds, and you wait. And over time you may get to see some growth begin to sprout. Eventually, by God's grace, those seeds grow into trees. Trees of whose fruit you will never eat and under whose shade you will never sit. Student ministry is an investment into the future lives of your high school students and into the future of God's Kingdom. Don't lose heart when the growth seems slow! Trees just take lots of time, patience, and grace.

Originally from Alabama, I found my way to Browns Bridge as the Male Groups Director in 2019. I graduated from Auburn University and have been in the student ministry world for 5 years. I am married to my incredible wife, Andrea, and we love to spend our time outdoors and reading.
Favorite scripture:
One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. -Psalm 27:4
If I could say one thing to encourage an InsideOut Leader:
Student ministry is a difficult task. In fact, it will require more time and love than you think is necessary. But the reality, that is often unseen, is we are never doing it alone. Galatians 3:20 says, “ Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within US.” Christ Jesus and His power are within US. So know when things seem dark and your spirit is crushed in ministry you can be confident and dependent upon Jesus for his power to change lives and hearts.

I grew up in Mississippi with my mom, dad, and little sister. I graduated from The University of Southern Mississippi with a degree in Elementary Education. In 2018, I moved to Georgia and joined the BBIO team as Logistics and Events Coordinator. I live in Sandy Springs with my roommate and dog, Charlie Grace. Currently, I am pursuing my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Richmont University.
Favorite scripture:
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. -Romans 12:15
I just love that picture of having Christian community that will walk with you through all of life, both sweet and hard.
If I could say one thing to encourage an InsideOut Leader:
Being a small group leader is a marathon, not a sprint. There will be hard days and there will also be extremely rewarding days. The most important thing is that you continue to pursue these high school students, and they know you will be there for them no matter what.

I am originally from the great corn and cow state - Dayton, Ohio. I graduated from Lee University with a degree in Youth Ministry and Business. Now, I am in North Point's residency program, where I am getting the opportunity to get my master's degree through Dallas Theological Seminary, all while working at Browns Bridge! My main role on the team is running DIVE and overseeing our interns and Senior Leadership Team.
Favorite scripture:
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. -Galatians 5:1
If I could say one thing to encourage an InsideOut Leader:
We absolutely cannot do what we do without the amazing leaders we have. Being a small group leader might sometimes feel mundane and hard, but the impact you get to have on the lives of your high schoolers is one that is priceless and will last a lifetime.

I grew up all over the country but spent most of my time in Hawaii and California! I moved to Georgia when I was 19 to intern at Woodstock City Church and have been here ever since. Before moving to BBIO, I led an IO small group and was on staff with UpStreet at Woodstock City for six years.
Favorite scripture:
The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. -Exodus 14:14
If I could say one thing to encourage an InsideOut Leader:
Your job as a small group leader is to consistently show up in the big moments and the small moments. Showing up emotionally and consistently has the power to transform a student's faith.
