The Pour Over exists to be a trustworthy news resource guiding people toward eternal hope.
We imagine a world where people will display love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control when responding to current events.
If you’re upset… This is who you’re upset with. Jason is a PK who thought he’d be a pastor but ended up writing emails for a living. He’s not very athletic. Runs the place… but isn’t above making everyone’s morning coffee… every day. He and his wife, Hannah, have two daughters.
If you like our news… this is who you like. She coordinates the mayhem and gets the newsletters out on time. She is quite funny (but less funny than she thinks she is). Keeps telling Nate to give away more money. She and her husband, Todd, have three kids.
We don’t let him write anything, but he’s good with numbers and business-y things. He’s annoyingly athletic and is the only one who takes notes during meetings (which is, admittedly, quite helpful). He and his wife, Ari, have too many kids.
You’ve probably heard of TPO because of Whipple. We assumed growing newsletters was easy because he grew us to 250,000+ subscribers while in dental school, but he proved hard to replace. He finally ditched his first love (teeth) for his true love (newsletters), and TPO hasn’t been the same since. He and his wife, Madison, have one son.
Elly loves long walks… anytime, anywhere. She also loves giving sponsors an excellent experience and is planting a church in California with her husband, Ryan. They say it’s to reach Cali college kids with Jesus, but getting to move closer to Shohei Ohtani definitely played a role. She bakes a mean sourdough and her homemade pasta is *chef’s kiss*.
Emily is like The Pour Over’s fairy godmother. Sometimes, we hand her a pumpkin of a spreadsheet and bippity boppity boom, she turns it into a resource we couldn’t function without. And go ahead, try to get a minor error past her. You won't. She and her husband, Ben, have three sons.
We will all probably work for Nicole one day… and by “we,” we mean everyone on the planet, including you. She knows how to get things done and helps bring everyone’s wild ideas to life (the wilder, the better). Loves a good, long run and knows more español than everyone else at TPO combined.
What doesn’t Courtney do? She handles HR, accounting, and staff retreats, and generally makes us seem more organized than we are. She’s extremely kind… unless you are playing competitive social deduction games—then the gloves come off. She and her husband, Tyler, have two kids.
Steph is one of those rare, “actually qualified” people at TPO. She’s increasingly funny, loves writing Decaf, and loves painting her nails. She deeply dislikes competitive social deduction games, but will play to make Courtney happy. She and her husband, Andrew, have three kids.
You want Bailey on your trivia team. She wanted to be a marine biologist growing up and could probably pass the final exams today; she’s also knowledgeable on history, pop culture, fantasy, and Kentucky. If a Lord of the Rings reference ever slips into a newsletter… you know who did it.
You don’t put a task on Xan’s plate… you put it on her platter. Just hint at a task and it’ll get done—in addition to writing TPO’s news, recording TPO’s podcast, recording her own podcast, and launching online courses. She and her husband, Nathaniel, have three kids (whom she homeschools… because, of course, she has time for that too).
If you don’t like Joe… you’re the problem. He remembers the names and life stories of everyone he’s ever bumped into, and uses this superpower to make everyone feel famous. Always has a new health obsession. He’s that smooth voice you love on TPO’s podcast. He and his wife, Emily, have two kids.
The main reason we aren’t booed out of inboxes—she prevents roughly 1,500 typos per email. Kathleen is her daughter (and boss).
The real human who actually reads all the reader’s replies and solves customers' issues. She runs our Instagram, doesn’t understand not doing something right away, and enjoys eating raw radishes. She would put her desk outside in the sun if it were allowed.
Matt and Will are our editors from across the aisle. One is an Ivy League-educated medical provider and the other is a lawyer—so they’re stubborn. Despite their political differences, they work excellently together at reviewing our stories. Take notes, Congress.
