More About Darren Tyler:
As Lead Pastor of Conduit Church, Darren Tyler has a front-row seat to watching God use a scrappy, nimble group of Jesus followers to kick down the gates of hell—both in our city and around the world. After a 20-year career as an executive in the music industry God called Darren to plant Conduit Church in Franklin, TN.  A husband to Shannon, father, author and host of the Conduit Deeper podcast, Darren describes his role as that of a conductor in an orchestra—not playing the instrument, but awakening the possibilities in individuals what can happen when they work together delivering their spiritual gifts.  Darren continues to travel the globe extensively to some of the hardest places to answer Jesus commission to go and make disciples.  As Darren says, "We go to the hard places because the easy places are taken."

Beyond the pulpit, Darren has a fun history in Christian music. Before becoming an agent/ manager for artists like Third Day and Kutless—you can spot him in early '90s music videos for CCM artists like 4Him, Carman, and Al Denson.
