About Nathan McWherter

Dr. Nathan McWherter
I’m Nathan — a pastor, writer, and leadership coach committed to transforming leaders from the inside out.
Why I’m Passionate About Transforming Leaders
For over twenty years, I’ve walked alongside people in churches, boardrooms, and broken places, helping them reconnect to God’s voice, reclaim their purpose, and lead with integrity and resilience. Whether I’m preaching to a congregation, coaching a leader through transition, or writing about the inner life — my mission stays the same: to see leaders transformed so they can transform others.
How I Help Transforming Leaders Thrive
Through writing, coaching, preaching, and real conversations, I offer spiritual insight and practical tools to support leaders in every season, especially the hard ones. Whether you’re burned out, beginning again, or hungry for more, this space is for you.
Transforming Leaders Starts With Inner Work
No strategy can replace soul work. That’s why I write about spiritual formation, emotional health, calling, leadership pain, and the sacred mess of becoming who God created you to be.
Rooted in Lancaster, Serving the World
Based in the desert of Lancaster, CA, I lead Desert Vineyard Church, coach leaders through Trust Rising, and invest in others who are called to carry light in difficult places. This landscape reminds me daily: God meets people in the wilderness and sends them out transformed.
Join a Community of Transforming Leaders
You’re not the only one called to lead with depth, courage, and grace. This space exists to gather and grow a community of transforming leaders who are becoming more like Jesus in how they live, lead, and love.
