ABOUT BRANDON GATSON

Brandon Gatson

OFFICIAL BIO

Brandon Gatson is a passionate communicator, pastor, life coach, and motivational speaker whose life journey is defined by passion, purpose, and cultural impact. Raised in a family of faith by his parents, Willie and Shirley Gatson—faithful leaders for over 20 years—he was cultivated as a leader from a young age, deeply rooted in values of service, conviction, and vision.

From the basketball court to the pulpit, Brandon’s leadership credentials span diverse arenas. He was recognized as one of the top high school basketball players in Georgia, and later played professional basketball in Chicago. His creativity extends beyond sports—Brandon is also an accomplished drummer who earned a jazz scholarship to Kentucky State University, where he honed his musical discipline. Traveling the globe in capacities of music, athletics, and ministry has given Brandon a unique and expansive perspective on culture, purpose, and people.

Brandon and his wife, August Gatson, serve as the founders of School of Reform, a traveling ministry committed to presenting Christ to the culture while, re-presenting Christ to the church. They have hosted international voices like Naomi Raine, Lou Engle, Ryan Lestrange, and Dan Mohler, impacting thousands across the U.S. and around the world—and reaching over a million homes through broadcasts on God TV.

They are also the founders of Christ Culture Church in Louisville, Kentucky—a thriving, multicultural, multi-ethnic, and multi-generational church built on the belief that diversity reflects a fuller expression of God’s nature. At Christ Culture, the gospel is more than taught—it’s experienced. This church is built on the conviction of making disciples and transforming lives, faithfully nurturing the next generation in a culture-rich Spirit-led environment.

At the core of Brandon’s life is family. He and August are deeply committed to one another, and August is a wellspring of inspiration to him. Together, they are devoted parents to three children—Eva, Zoe, and Kai—each of whom motivates Brandon’s heart and mission every day.

Above all, Brandon’s greatest passion is for Jesus Christ. He has dedicated his life to guiding people toward discovering their God-given purpose and finding salvation through Him. He has a unique gift for presenting the gospel in a way that is clear, practical, and easy to grasp—making truth accessible to all. His mission is beautifully simple yet profoundly transformative: to transform people so they can transform culture. Whether coaching, preaching, or speaking on major stages, Brandon blends faith, wisdom, authenticity, and a millennial edge to inspire a new generation.
