I grew up as a pastor’s kid in the Vineyard Church movement and naturally followed my DNA into vocational ministry in 2011 at the age of 21.

In 2016, my deconstruction reached its climax in the midst of what would become a "false start" church plant after relocating from Indianapolis, IN, to San Diego, CA.

During this dark night of the soul, I surrendered to—or rather, pressed into—re-evaluating everything I thought I knew about God. It was in this season that meditation entered my life, becoming a key spiritual anchor in the midst of disorientation.

By 2019, after years of struggle, failure, and frustration, I found myself beautifully invited by the Spirit back into ministry—but with a profoundly different message than before: the realization and embodiment of wholeness.

My lived experience led me to the revelation that our purpose is found not in striving, but in deconditioning from the narratives of fragmentation (Ego / "flesh") and consciously orienting our lives toward manifesting the presence of God within us.

Non-dual union with God calls us beyond the illusion of separation (“sin”) and into our true identity—Christ within—which empowers us to contribute uniquely to the ongoing healing of the world through our individual expressions of hope and wholeness.

Today, I lead Current Collective as an expression of my deep passion for healing religious conditioning and fractured narratives, facilitating a space where people can experience the presence of God through spiritual practices, rituals, teachings, and mentoring.

While I openly honor and glean from wisdom traditions across both the East and West, my native tongue is Christ.

I believe the religion of Christianity, in contrast to the Way of Christ, has often missed the point and purpose of Jesus’ life, teachings, and prayer: that the meaning of life is to awaken, experience, and express Love—and to realize oneness with the Father.

My mission is to continue in the same spirit of Yeshua by dismantling rigid dogmas about God and opening us to the reality of direct union with the Divine.

Luke Bricker is an ordained minister, spiritual director, and certified meditation teacher.

Luke completed a seminary equivalent program at Vineyard Institute and received accredited mediation teacher & breath work instructor training from Loka Yoga School.

He also admits that he is writing this in third person and accredits his much of his training to the school of hard knocks and actual hands on experience with real people, in real places and years of devoted spiritual practice.

He wants you to know that you should never solely trust someone simply because they have a degree or license. Those do help, yes. But we live in the 21st century where you can learn more from real-life experience, online curiosity, and training with a mentor than you could ever learn from traditional education; At least in matters of Spirituality and self-development.

He lives in Carlsbad, California with his wife Lindsey and 2 children Sophia and Ezra.
