Luke Thomas currently leads Legacy Church in Knoxville TN, a church he planted in 2010. Enjoying a call to start new works, his family has been a part of planting churches and campus ministries in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee for the past 20+ years. Beyond his education in biology, chemistry, human physiology (B.S. Biology, University of Texas Permian Basin) coaching, and athletic training, his deepest experience in leadership health was completely burning out himself in 2011. Too sick to lead, he began experimenting on his own broken health. It’s from this journey that he researched and interviewed today's best voices in stress science from a wide variety of disciplines. Upon finding his own leadership health, Luke began conference speaking and coaching leaders in leadership self-care. For fun, Luke competes in endurance racing ranging from ultramarathons to Ironman triathlon and sits in a hammock as long as possible whenever possible.
