DR. RANDALL KINNISON

Hello, I’m Dr. Randall Kinnison, aka Doctor Peace. I grew up in northeast Colorado and accepted Christ as my Savior shortly before high school graduation. I began my formal education at the University of Colorado with a pre-med major. God called to ministry during that first year at CU. Sharlyne and I were married, and we moved to Sioux Falls, SD to complete my undergraduate and graduate training. Upon graduation from seminary in 1981, we moved to Ellinwood, KS for the next seven years to begin ministry. Then, we moved to Portland, OR in 1988 following a call from a church. Along the way we had 5 children, 6 grandchildren, and over 24 foster children. While in Portland, I graduated with a Doctor of Ministry with classes from Kansas State University in Family Systems and Therapy as well.

Around 2002, I felt God calling to plant House Churches. I needed to support myself as part of the ministry model. Mediation seemed a great fit for me. I founded Genesis Mediation in 2005 and my mission was simple – create more peace in the lives of 3 million people by 2030. My team can help with conflict in almost any place in life: home, work, and communities. With over 10,000 hours of mediation, I now train, supervise and mentor others while writing books and online courses with podcasting mixed in. If you want to make a difference creating peace in the lives of others and this world, consider joining the PeaceWave or becoming a mediator. Let’s create some peace!
