Tom Basson is a man of faith, husband, and father who recently moved from South Africa to be the lead pastor of Eastern Hills Community Church in Denver, CO. He is also a successful obstacle course racer. In fact, he placed 2nd at the 2017 OCR World Championships, and more recently, finished 2nd at the 2022 Altitude OCR World Championships, which took place at Mt Everest – and he broke a Guinness World Record in the process!
On this episode of The RESGEN Giving Life Podcast, Tom and RESGEN Founder Tom Henderson have a great conversation about a variety of topics including:
- What surprised Tom most during his first few weeks in the United States
- Some of the concerns Tom has, as well as opportunities he sees for the local church
- America’s fascination with celebrities, including celebrity pastors
- The importance of being intentional as a father
- Some lessons Tom learned while putting his body to the test on Mt. Everest, and how they are transferable to everyday life.
