Rev. Dr. Rob Zahn
Semiotician | Speaker | Spiritual Disruptor | Author of LSD to Galilee

​

Rob Zahn is a preacher with the heart of a poet, a strategist with the soul of a seeker, and a theologian who knows how to read the signs. A nationally recognized communicator, executive leader, and cultural translator, Rob has spent two decades helping people and institutions navigate transformation—with clarity, curiosity, and conviction.

​

Whether delivering a keynote to 500+ or guiding an intimate conversation about purpose, Rob’s voice is grounded, prophetic, and radically human. He has taught religion and ethics in university classrooms, pastored in some of the country’s most dynamic faith communities, and served as the CEO-equivalent of complex nonprofit organizations—managing multimillion-dollar budgets, leading teams of 15+, and casting bold visions of renewal in times of cultural upheaval.

​

His theological imagination is shaped by semiotics, justice, and an unshakable belief in the power of story. His upcoming book, LSD to Galilee: Incarnation in the Psychedelic Subculture, is a deep-dive into the weird and wild intersection of counterculture, consciousness, and faith—part memoir, part manifesto, and all disruptive theology.

​

Rob holds a Doctor of Ministry in Semiotics, Church, and Culture, and has taught college-level courses in world religions, biblical studies, Christian ethics, and vocation. He speaks the language of both the academy and the street, and he thrives at the edges—where tradition meets innovation, where the Spirit stirs the status quo, and where the next Reformation is already catching fire.

When he’s not writing or speaking, Rob is listening: to students, to stories, to signs, to the still small voice that whispers, “There’s more.”
