At its meeting in July, the Board of Directors for Higher Things appointed Pastor Tim Pauls as the new interim executive editor of Higher Things Magazine, succeeding Pastor Todd Peperkorn who served as executive editor from the magazine’s inception in 2001. “I’ve been a big fan of Higher Things magazine since the first issue,” said Pauls. “It’s been a pleasure serving in various capacities, and I’m certainly honored by the appointment to interim editor.”
When asked about the magazine, Pauls added, “Unlike other periodicals, HT has never been afraid to treat youth like they can think and want to learn—learn about Jesus and His Word, and what that means for them. It’s always been a relevant, high-quality piece that never stops declaring why it’s worth daring to be Lutheran. Furthermore, the chance to work more with writers like Kathy [Luder] and the editorial staff is quite the privilege.”
Pastor Pauls serves as associate pastor and acting school administrator at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Boise, Idaho, where he lives with his wife, Teresa, and their two sons. In his spare time, he enjoys reading, writing and fly fishing.
Pauls said that his initial goals with the magazine are to continue its high quality and increase circulation. His interim status is pending the appointment of a Publications Executive by the Higher Things Board of Directors.
