“Randy has been such a lifeline for me in ministry. He’s one of those rare people who knows how to encourage, how to listen, and how to speak wisdom that’s anchored in the Word. He carries such a gentle spirit, but he also loves you enough to call you up higher when you need it. I’ve appreciated his steady voice and support through the years, and I know I’m not the only one who feels that way. Randy has been that same kind of lifeline for so many others, and I thank God for the gift he is to the body of Christ.”

I’ve known Randy Chunn for more than 40 years. Throughout that time, his love for Jesus and for people has been unmistakable. Today, he uses that lifelong passion to coach, mentor, and encourage ministry leaders. Randy has been a steady encouragement to me personally and to countless pastors and ministry leaders I know.

Randy has been my friend and mentor in ministry for nearly 20 years. When you meet him, you quickly discover that he is a man who deeply loves Jesus and genuinely loves people. He is an exceptionally gifted pastor, communicator, and leader who uses his gifts to serve and strengthen other pastors.
In our weekly meetings, we discuss everything from upcoming sermons to the personal and ministry challenges I’m facing. Randy has faithfully walked with me through some dark and difficult seasons of ministry. His wisdom, encouragement, and example have been vital in helping me stay faithful to Christ and steadfast in my calling. I am deeply grateful for his influence in my life and ministry.

Randy and I have gone through three wonderful chapters together. The first was when I was a senior in high school, the second as a young pastor just starting out in ministry, and now we’re in this third chapter where he’s generously come alongside me to help me grow as a healthier and more effective lead pastor for the church I’m lucky to serve.
This latest chapter has truly been my favorite and holds a special place in my heart. Randy has become such an important voice in my life. His openness and honesty about my study and teaching methods have greatly influenced the spiritual growth of Merge. When you combine his wealth of ministry experience with his genuine heart for God, it’s clear that the world is a better place with him in it!

Randy Chunn and his ministry “Not by Sight” has been pivotal for me. As a church planter, to have someone like Randy in your corner is invaluable. Our conversations working through my messages, along with the 10 C’s Tool he provided, made me a better pastor and a better preacher. However good you think you are at preaching, trust me when I tell you that Randy will help you go to the next level. His no judgment optimism is not only helpful, it’s some of the most encouraging words you’ll hear all week!

Randy Chunn is one-of-a-kind. My ministry, life and leadership have been blessed immensely by Randy & I’ve witnessed him pour into countless pastors and leaders in a way that helps give them life. Whether it’s breaking down leadership strategy, encouraging pastors through difficult seasons or simply helping ministry leaders strengthen their skills and tool belt, Randy helps people see and achieve the next level. He’s a friend to leaders, his wisdom and insight are incredibly valuable and his spirit and laughter are downright contagious. I’ve never spent time with Randy where I didn’t feel more qualified, more positive & significantly better than before. Simply put, Randy Chunn is one of those rare people that is good for the heart and soul.

I am beyond thankful for the time I get to spend learning from Randy each week. As a minister it’s so important to have others who add wisdom and understanding to your experience. Randy has certainly been that for me. Each week as we come together to study God’s Word and talk about life, I know Randy will be the faithful listening ear that will approach me with patience, truth, accountability, and know exactly how to encourage me and call me up when I need it. More than a mentor in ministry and in the faith, Randy has been a friend I know I can count on and I think anyone else around him would say the same. I firmly believe any and all ministers and pastors could benefit from time with a mentor like Randy and would encourage those seeking growth in those areas to reach out and seek the benefit of the wisdom he brings.

I wholeheartedly endorse Randy Chunn and the mission of Not by Sight. Randy carries a rare combination of pastoral wisdom, humility, and a deep passion for helping leaders thrive. His vision for Not by Sight is clear—equipping pastors and ministry leaders to preach with clarity and conviction while guiding them to shepherd with wisdom and care.
I’ve seen firsthand how many leaders step into ministry with great courage but often find themselves isolated, under-resourced, or overwhelmed. Randy’s heart is to stand in that gap, providing coaching, training, and encouragement that strengthens leaders and multiplies their impact. His ability to blend biblical truth with practical leadership is a gift to the Kingdom, and his character gives credibility to his calling.
If you are considering supporting or partnering with Not by Sight, I can assure you that your investment will not only strengthen pastors but also ripple out to the congregations and communities they serve. Randy is a leader worth standing with, and his work is both timely and deeply needed.

Randy has modeled resilience, leadership, and a true passion for teaching. Through his influence, over a hundred nurse leaders — myself included — have grown in our leadership skills. Personally, he has strengthened my confidence in public speaking, deepened my walk of faith, and shown me what it means to lead with both courage and authenticity. Best of all, he’s become a dear friend.
