Robin Steele is the founder and lead pastor of PromiseLand Church in San Marcos, TX. Over the last 16 years, they have gone from 30 people to a membership well over 2000. PromiseLand is a multi-ethnic, multi-generational congregation that impacts people from all walks of life. He loves to teach, disciple, invest in pastors, hunt, fish, and ride his mountain bike (real fast) over crazy terrain! In 2001, Robin and his wife, Erica, received the news that their newborn baby had a severe brain abnormality and would only live 6-12 months. Their daughter, Kennady, just turned 18 years old and continues to defeat the odds. She lives with many disabilities and requires 24-hour care. Robin speaks all over the world about the incredible life lessons they have learned along the way. They have two sons as well: Jude, and Avery.
