I’m a pastor who has spent some time in the field of nuclear energy. A strange combination, to be sure, but it’s been a great life thus far, and I wouldn’t trade the path that’s brought me to where I am for anything. So please allow me to tell you a bit of my story.

Since I’m far too old to bore you with starting at the beginning, I’ll start with the year 1984, which was when I followed in my father’s footsteps and enlisted in the U.S.military. I was accepted into the Navy’s Nuclear Power Program, and after two years of training I spent four years operating the reactor plants aboard the aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower (CVN-69). When my six-year enlistment was over, I returned to Southern California, where I was quickly hired by the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) to operate their reactor plants, something I had the great fortune of doing for ten years.

After those ten years at SONGS I hung up my neutrons and took on the adventure of becoming the youth pastor at Calvary Chapel in my adopted hometown of Fallbrook, California. In early 2010, I was named the associate pastor of our church, and then upon the retirement of long-time pastor and good friend Patrick Herrell I was named the senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Fallbrook on June 6, 2011.

Please join me, at Calvary Chapel Fallbrook and on my blog, as I shine the light of Scripture upon the thinking and issues of our time.

Sincerely,

Barry Mahler (AKA the nuclear pastor)
